Pedro Rojas! You are a dead man!

Dead in the civil war dead

in the revolution dead

in Vallejo’s poem because he

loved you and you are both dead

revolutionaries of humanity

to hell with soul, with man-kind,

you are of humanity dead

under no guns no tanks no

polished jodhpurs only the smooth

clean shiny white paper

defiled with stroke of pen!
