Ode to 2025 Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado.

In lands where shadows cling and voices fade,

A champion rises, brave and ever bright,

María Corina, unafraid, unmade

By threats, she battles for the people's right.

For just and fair governance she stands,

With civic strength, a force that cannot bend,

Resisting tyranny with hopeful hands,

A future where oppression finds its end.

Her spirit shines, a beacon in the night,

Ensuring ballots triumph over might,

Where truth and freedom bravely take their flight.

The Nobel Peace Prize, a deserved acclaim,

For Venezuela, she whispers freedom's name,

A victory won, extinguishing the flame

Of sorrow, suffering, and endless shame.

A voice rings clear and strong, / For Venezuela, where wrongs / Have lingered far too long.

She stood, a steady light, / For democracy bright, / And championed what is right.
