A poem by Mario Benedetti
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
What if one day we wake
realizing that we are the majority?
What would happen if suddenly an injustice,
only one, is repudiated by all,
all we all are, no one,
not some, but all?
What if instead of continuing to split
we multiply, subtract
we join the enemy that disrupts our way,
What if we organize
us while we faced unarmed
in silence, in droves, in millions of eyes
the face of the oppressors, no
alive, without applause, no smiles
without slapping shoulders, chanting
without partisan
without singing?
What if I should ask for you so far
you and you for me I'm so far away, and both
for others who are far away,
and others for us even though we are away?
What if the cry of a continent
was the cry from every continent? What if
pusiésemos
body instead of lamenting?
What if
break boundaries and move forward, and move forward,
and move, and move forward?
What if we burn all the flags
to have only one, ours,
of all or any
better because we do not need.
What if you suddenly stop being patriots
to be human?
do not know. I wonder,
what would happen?
