This is Champagne Song from solitary confinement. Please visit prairielandefendents.com. This is a poem I wrote called “If You Die in This Country.”
If you die in this country, there will be no justice, no peace.
There will be no investigation.
No one will be held to account.
If you die in this country, you will be slandered and blamed.
There’s blood on the tree, and blood on the roots.
This country hates martyrs, and spits on all graves.
This is Champagne Song, sentenced to 100 years for anti-fascism.
These commentaries are recorded by Prison Radio.
