The Voice of a Communist.

The voice of a communist cannot be silenced,
Just like conscience, if it exists within a person.
One must simply be a communist,
Every moment, every day, always, forever.

The voice of a communist is in their actions,
When they understand life and do not back down,
When you remain faithful, kind, and compassionate,
And carry the truth with all your strength.

The voice of a communist does not choose times,
It doesn’t say that the time has not yet come.
It is an eternal endeavor, where vision is clear and the back is straight,
Where everyone stands up for others, bearing their own and others’ burdens.

The voice of a communist is to fight without stopping,
To create every day for those who will follow you.
It is reconnaissance, attention, logic, understanding the meaning of the trick,
That tries to tell us that our “red” is no longer the same.

The voice of a communist is our eternal banner of victory,
It is our truth and conscience, when you move forward with faith,
It is the eyes in the photograph of your grandmother, your grandfather,
And the understanding that you are not living in vain.
