LIBRE

[21st century: … cessation of political parties and that each parliamentarian, or elected councilor, govern their voice and vote freely, according to conscience, without depending absolutely on anyone]
***
…this principle,
– this gift of equality and identical in being,
this excellence, this intimate radiance, this civic justice –
Where was she, who brought her to us?
…because open to the sublime song of reason and heart,
The ages of slavery and banishments of body and soul have already been rushed,
behold, the XXI arrives demanding ballot boxes, and votes, and scrutiny,
minutes and proclamations, exact verdicts with which he exhales and lives in triumph
democracy and its virtue;
…time has been extinguished and the citizen and redeeming fire demands its status:
the universal being, the honor of him or his guide, his beacon or civil light: republicanism;
Not in vain – I come back and say – I am his champion, his civil and citizen empire, his natural root and king,
his prince.
