LET A THOUSAND CHE GUEVARAS BLOOM

By Alex Hash

'Shoot, coward, you're only going to kill a man'- Fearless last words of Che Guevara to his executioner before he was shot.

To Musharraf /Than Shwe:

In this quagmire
My hatred is justified
For my heart aches hopelessly
For freedom.
So is my guilt
That scatters screaming visions
And flutters desperately
Like a dying bird.
I love you all
In my naked being
But these wings that
Have grown out
Have a passion to fly.
I wish I could
Cut blind these eyes
That spy across horizons
And breach your walls
And your rules.
Hear the prayers of a dying man:
"Let a thousand Che bloom."
