UPR Strike
What a horrible scene
to watch thousands of policemen
packed with guns, shields and mace
instead of open books to read.
What a horrible scene
to watch thousands of students
getting beaten and chased like rodents
because they decided to speak.
What a horrible scene
to watch thousands of children
without hope, without dreams,
because they will fail to pay the Dean.
What a beautiful scene
to watch thousands of Puerto Ricans
united, without fear, without weakness
because they decided to fight for what they believe.
by J.B.H.
Inspired by the historical event that culminated one of the largest strikes in the history of Puerto Rico and United States.
