Poem “these are the days we rise up for freedom…” these are the days we rise up for freedom we come together and make the big change untill the day of liberation nothing can stop us With the lord of love on our side (with the endless power of hearts) we never give up together we stand strong we break the chains united by love darkness wont harm as the sun rises so keep on shining the future is yours Stan Rams Amsterdam 12 12 2019 The poem calls for collective action and spiritual strength in the face of oppression, emphasizing love and unity as forces for change. Structure: Ten-line single stanza, free verse, in English. The poem builds momentum with short, declarative lines, culminating in a hopeful vision. Imagery: Light and darkness contrast (“darkness wont harm,” “sun rises”), with spiritual imagery (“lord of love,” “endless power of hearts”) evoking divine support. The “chains” symbolize oppression, and the “sun” represents hope. Tone: Uplifting, defiant, and inspirational, with a collective “we” that rallies the reader. Style: Direct, anthemic, with repetition (“we,” “love”) and parentheses for emphasis. The English language targets a global audience. Relation: Stan Rams shares spiritual optimism, direct address (“you”), and themes of love and light overcoming darkness. Both envision a transformative journey,this poem is activist-oriented from introspective. Music Connection: The anthemic style suggests lyrics for protest or inspirational songs, like “Amsterdam Krishna world-peace dance” or “Dance for Peace.”, ********************** ********************** #poezie #poetry #inspiration #peace #revolution
