declaración de medellín: revolución poética mundial

[Español][English]

Nos oponemos a la fatalidad de una historia de guerras que ha traído millones de muertes en la historia de la humanidad; nos oponemos a la mezquina expoliación de la naturaleza y de los pueblos del mundo;

nos oponemos a la esclavitud material y espiritual que ha destrozado loa libertad y la dignidad de millones de personas sometidas a la desesperanza; contra el fracaso de los modelos socioeconómicos, políticos y culturales que aprisionan a la humanidad; llamamos a toda la humanidad a levantarse desde la derrota de la civilización y construir con energía un mundo superior donde reinen la justicia, la dignidad, la verdad y la belleza de un mundo emancipado;

hagamos del mundo un festival nómada de poesía, en todas las calles, en todos los países, en todas las lenguas, que anuncie la victoria definitiva de la vida sobre la muerte;

invitamos a todos los poetas y sus organizaciones en toda la tierra a una acción cultural y espiritual por un planeta sin hambres y sin hambre, por una tierra emancipada y justa en el abrazo de una revolución poética mundial.

The world´s poetry movement declares itself to be in a state of rebellion regarding the sad history of humanity.

We are against the war-torn history of countless barbaric civilizations that have left hundreds of millions of dead throughout the so called “human evolution” here on earth.

We oppose the petty and dangerous practices against nature and the peoples of the world, which have deteriorated and damaged our oceans, lakes, rivers, atmosphere, the earth´s climate, devastated forests, inviting expanding deserts to take over our glorious green planet, and imprisoning the human species in a miserable existence.

We oppose slavery material and rigid religious dogmas which have taken away the freedom and dignity of millions of people, chained in dejection and hopelessness.

Against the failure of the economic, political, social and cultural systems that imprison humanity, we call on the world to join this Worldwide Poetry Revolution.

We are calling all of humanity to rise from the ashes of defeat and build with great energy,
-before it is hopelessly too late- a superior world, filled with poetry, social justice, dignity and truth, beauty and kindness. A splendid world united by brotherhood and mutual recognition.

Let´s gradually prepare a nomadic world festival, from country to country, from continent to
continent. Let´s build a global school of poetry. Poetry should be massively expressed in every street, in every country, in every language, in the mouths of everyone, children, women, men and elders. Let us anticipate the victory of life over death.

We invite poets and artists from all over the world, their organizations, and all organizations in the world to take a part in these international spiritual and cultural activities, for a planet free of the horrors of war and hunger, for an independent and fair world, united as one by the indestructible hand of a Worldwide Poetry Revolution.
