One evening in Spain

[RC James]

mercedes - You reveal a great deal of the situation in few words - impressive.
(Lorca was there too) from Neruda's "I'll Explain Some Things" :

Then one morning flames
Came out of the ground
Devouring human beings.
From then on fire,
Gunpowder from then on,
From then on blood.
Bandits with airplanes and Moorish troops
Bandits with gold rings and duchesses
Bandits with black monks giving their blessing
Came across the sky to kill children
And through the streets, the blood of children
Ran simply, like children’s blood does.

Compassion has few competitors in the battle for peace - RC
