Colin Jerwood was an absolute inspiration to us, to whole generations of anarchos internationally. From his early solidarity for the animal liberation movement with benefit gigs to actively keeping the memory of Carlo Giuliani alive, his words of active poetry fuelled our desire to be an ungovernable force. More than anything this is what Colin would have wished, for the battle to continue…
Do I stand alone again in my endless search for freedom?
Challenging their might, defeated? Falling helplessly away
Crawling from the wreckage, their destiny is my future?
I feel the coldness as I step out into their darkness
So I stand alone the same in my hopeless chase for freedom
Clawing, I call, I call out, but again, I’m never answered
You stand there in your lonely world, in your careless search for freedom
While we struggle on, you turn hopelessly away
Destroyed and recreated, our destiny is the future
Now I feel the warmth, as the eclipse is forced away
