Mohammed Bouazizi

 
I am Mohammed Bouazizi
and even though I died
and lived in Tunisia where I was crushed by the feet of dictators,
I am telling you
that Tunisia is a country in which you can hold your head high
if you want to.
 
I myself once thought it couldn’t happen
and I thought: as more and more years go by,
it is less and less possible.
 
How foolish we were, a generation that grew smarter at universities,
but was not smart enough to raise its head on time. I’m telling you:
freedom ignites in the most hidden and beautiful curve in our hearts,
in what we wear underneath our skin.
And I’m telling you: if we change our future, we will also change
the way in which our past is judged.
 
Wake up, brothers, from Tunisia and Libya to Egypt and Syria,
don't be afraid of being close to the soil and the fire.
Listen:
 
I am Mohammed Bouazizi
I am dead and alive in this world of yours
crushed by the feet of dictators,
and I am telling you
that there is no country in this world in which you cannot raise your head
if you want to.
