Dennis Brutus, "For the Prisoners of Guantanamo"

For the Prisoners of Guantanamo
by Dennis Brutus

If I could be a bird
I would fly to Guantanamo
and perch on the barbed wire fence
of Guantanamo prison
and sing a song of praise
of praise for your courage
and sing a song of love

march 18 2008; brooklyn; d.b.
