I wrote this with words/ideas from the Declaration of Principles from the encampment at Placa Catalunya in Barcelona. I visited the placa and a nubmer of those who participated in the massive protests that began May 15th, 2011 (commonly called 'Indignados') when I visisted there in the summer of that year, and was very inspired by their spirit/way of fighting. And there's so much more to come from the movement of the Indignados!
We have come here on our own free will to fight for dignity
Against that which places profit above humanity
We who have been crushed under the weight of Capitalism
And excluded and abandoned by the laws of Politics
We have learned from Cairo, from Iceland and Madrid.
Now it’s time to extend the fight and spread the word
We have taken to the square, where all voices carry weight,
Fighting for the lives that we deserve
They thought we were asleep, that they could carry out the cuts
Cutting back our rights without resistance, but
They were wrong: we are fighting, both peacefully and not
With great determination, we will drive the old world out
chorus
We who share a common rage against inequality
Are united by our will to build a new society
Representing no Party, and represented by none
No, the people as a whole must drive the transformation
chorus
We have come here on our own free will to fight for dignity
Against that which places profit above humanity
Together we are fighting, both peacefully and not
With great determination, we'll bring a new world about
chorus
