\n<\/span>no est\u00e1 en el cuerpo

\n<\/span>La tierra y yo somos iguales.
\n<\/span>S\u00f3lo los hip\u00f3critas se arrodillan
\n<\/span>en un pobre esfuerzo
\n<\/span>por acallar
\n<\/span>la voz de su conciencia.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>con qu\u00e9 amor
\n<\/span>reg\u00e1s tu sudor sobre la tierra
\n<\/span>para arrancarle
