Chavez

Your body breathes no more

you don’t walk any more

after years of struggle

 you finally rest in death.

Your entire life was devoted

to bring happiness to the faces

of the people who lived in sorrow;

the people who drowned in tears.

But now after you, the people

mourn and lament your loss,

as for them you were a hero,

as for them you were a saint.

 You dream of an idea,

you dreamed of a world with no miseries

But still with the passing of you

the dream hasn’t died.

Your dream continues to live

and we are the bearers of your vision to come true.

Chavez, you no longer

live among us,

Chavez, you from this day,

live in us.
