They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds

@SW-User it a very poetic sounding phrase that was used by activists in protests

@Harlow 60s ones? Surprised I haven't heard it before now.

@SW-User 🤔 I don’t know the history of it. I read it in a book and liked how poeticness. Imma look it up

@SW-User The long history of this phrase can be traced, more recently, to Mexican activists who used it in support of the Ayotzinapa 43 — 43 students who were disappeared in Iguala, Mexico in 2013. But… it is a variation of a line by Greek poet Dinos Christianopoulos. He wrote, ‘ what didn’t you do to bury me
but you forgot that I was a seed.’ 🤔

@Harlow lol I also looked it up as figured it was from a song...boy was that a bit of a rabbit hole...
