Full Version: Land Or Liberty (the Poem)

hi, i'm new here and the other day i was looking through the forums for Zach's "land or liberty" and when i found it relay'd there was one thing that I thought was worthy of note. In the last part of the poem where he says :

hurling her, towards the city
she caresses her trigger
and the words of magome fulfill her being
and with each shot she fires, she affirms her movement
saying
enough enough
no
I will see my own blood flow
before you take my land..or my liberty


it's not the words of "magome" it's the words of Magon. As in the words of Ricardo Flores Magon. Sounds like magone because it's a hispanic last name. Ricardo Magon was a famous Mexican anarchist.

Anyway, I thought that would help to bring meaning to it a little bit better. And maybe you can update your Encyclopedia section.

also

ejido - Mexican homeland

come in as "justice"

yeah i noticed a couple on that dvd too... oh well
the live at the grand olympic is a much better dvd in my opinion, from the perspective of how it was shot to some of the extra videos... I just wish it had some of the political messages that battle of mexico city had

Can someone tell me where I can find that poem?
Shaggy_Duck
umm it's on the self titled dvd, and if you do a search for it on google or in the forum search you should be able to find it. search: Land or Liberty

I think it's about the zapatistta movement.
