Zack de la Rocha Tulis Puisi untuk Occupy Wall Street

Jumat, 18 November 2011



Zack de la Rocha jarang menutup diri pada isu-isu sosial dan politik, baik menjadi aktivis atau bermusik dengan Rage Against The Machine dan One Day as A Lion. Setelah evakuasi pemerintah New York terhadap Zuccotti Park (tempat Occupy Wall Street) pada 15 November, de la Rocha sekali lagi menggabungkan dua nafsunya dengan menulis puisi yang menyatakan dukungannya terhadap gerakan Occupy Wall Street.



"Puisi ini didedikasikan untuk keberanian gerakan Occupy yang mengubah dunia. Tetap Kuat. Kita pasti menang," katanya dalam satu pernyataan yang menyertai puisi itu.[act/timBX]



Berikut puisi yang dibuat Zack de la Rocha:



The beginning spills through city veins

Into the arteries

And under powers poison clouds

We move like the shadows

Through the alley ways

Through nightmares bought and sold as dreams

Through barren factories

Through boarded schools

Through rotting fields

Through the burning doors of the past

Through imaginations exploding

To break the curfews in our minds



Our actions awaken dreams of actions multiplied

A restless fury

Once buried like burning embers

Left alone to smolder

But together stacked under the walls of a dying order

All sparks are counted

Calloused hands raised in silence

Over the bonfire of hope unincorporated

It's flame restores tomorrows meaning

Across the graveyards of hollow promises

As gold dipped vultures pick at what is left of our denial



And the youngest among us

Stare at us stoned like eyes determined

And say

Death for us may come early

Cause dignity has no price

At the corner of now and nowhere

Anywhere

Everywhere

Tomorrow is calling

Tomorrow is calling

Do not be afraid



-- Zack de la Rocha
