Quebrada del Yuro

They did not kill Che in Quebrada del Yuro.
He was killed slowly, painfully, distastefully
Without regret or guilt, by people who are not cruel, who do not hate, who do not kill.
Who know how to love, what poetry means, who understand and are not blind.
Who feel his spirit being crushed under their very feet but do not care.
And they stand over his grave and weep.
He was killed slowly, painfully, distastefully
By those wretched tears.
