Cry Freedom
(An excerpt)
by Aurelio S. Alvero
The cry awoke Balintawak,
And the echoes answered back:
"Freedom!"
All the four winds listened long
To the shrieking of that song;
Every poet struck his lyre
With those burning notes of fire.
All the women knelt to pray
In their hearts that frenzied lay.
Even the children and the old
Took to arms and shouted bold,
"Freedom!"
I heard it from the planters in the vales,
I heard it from the traders tying bales.
I heard it where the fishers strike their sails
I heard it from the huskers 'neath the trees;
I heard it from the divers of the seas,
I heard it from the pounders of the leas.
All the people raised the cry,
Fearing not to bleed or die;
All the tombs of slaves and sire
Broke to voice that great desire,
Up to the mountain, down the plain,
Louder, louder rang the strain,
"Freedom!"
