Selected Verses:
Citizen, Where Are You?
(translation/version of ¿Dónde estás Ciudadano, Ciudadana?)
by Luis S. González-Acevedo
Sad is the destiny
of a colonized people,
its soul torn
and ways violated! …
… By becoming the answer
to the age-old question:
As concerns Puerto Rico,
who will set it free?
Liberty is a right,
a universal foundation,
something that Puerto Rico
has never truly enjoyed …
… Pedro Albizu Campos and Blanca Canales:
patriots of renown.
In a delirious search for freedom,
their spirits call each of us by name
and proclaim: “We’ve come to share our courage!”
