Caged Bird

A free bird leaps
on the
back of the wind
and
floats downstream
till the
current ends
and dips
his wing
in the
orange sun rays
and dares
to claim the sky.
But a
bird that stalks
down his
narrow cage
can
seldom see through
his bars
of rage
his wings
are clipped and
his feet
are tied
so he
opens his throat to sing.

The Paint

I gave life to the
walls
a voice I gave them
more friendly so that would become my company
and the guards asked
to know where they could find the paint
The walls of the cell
kept the secret
and the mercenaries searched everywhere
but paint they could not find
Because they did not think for one moment
that they should search into my veins
a voice I gave them
more friendly so that would become my company
and the guards asked
to know where they could find the paint
The walls of the cell
kept the secret
and the mercenaries searched everywhere
but paint they could not find
Because they did not think for one moment
that they should search into my veins

Υπόσχεση
Τα δάκρυα που στα μάτια μας
ποτέ μην τα πιστέψετε
απελπισιάς σημάδια.
Υπόσχεση είναι μοναχά
γι' Αγώνα υπόσχεση
Αλέξανδρος Παναγούλης
Promise
The teardrops which you will see
flowing from our eyes
you should never
believe
signs of despair.
They are only promise
promise for Fight
(Military Prisons of
Bogiati, February 1972)
