Poem Against the Rich




Each day I live, each day the sea of light


Rises, I seem to see


The tear inside the stone


As if my eyes were gazing beneath the earth.


The rich man in his read hat


Cannot hear


The weeping in the pueblos of the lily,


Or the dark tears in the shacks of the corn.


Each day the sea of light rises


I hear the sad rustle of the darkened armies,


Where each man weeps, and the plaintive


Orisons of the stones.


The stones bow as the saddened armies pass.
