El poema de Mark: Caballeros con armadura verde

Mark, nuestro lector de inglés que está hecho todo un artista, nos recitó un precioso poema que el mismo había escrito especialmente para la Noche en Verde. Como está en inglés, Vicky nos lo tradujo para que todos pudiésemos entenderlo.

¿Te atreves a recitarlo tu también?

KNIGHTS IN GREEN ARMOR

Why are there lights in the school tonight?

In windows I see shapes

Dressed in green. What does that mean?
Peeking through the shades,

I see them working, learning, talking,

In workshops and in groups.

What do they want, these figures who haunt

The school like ghosts

From dusk till dawn? What is their plan?

They say they only want

What’s theirs by right, and they will fight

To keep it. They won’t

Let politicians make decisions
That rob them of what’s theirs.

They are the students, teachers, parents

Of  José de Churriguera—

In Leganés—who say unless
We save our public schools,

Our future’s lost. The highest cost

To the Spanish nation

Isn’t Education—it’s Ignorance.

Tonight we make the choice.

Tonight we convene, dressed in green,

To make them hear our voice.

We stay up late to participate

In workshops and debates:

We all deserve the chance to learn

And to educate.
