THE TRUE
GUERILLAS
© Farouk Asvat
The true
guerillas stayed at home
They
confronted each new day
as if it
was a new lease on life
They
confronted each new death
as if it
was a new way of life
They
confronted each new morning
as if it
was a new invitation to death
They
confronted each new night
as if it
was a new way of death
The true
freedom fighters stayed at home
They
confronted each new day
as if they
were attending their own wedding
as if they
were witnessing their own birth
as if they
were attending their own funeral
as if they
were walking with their own angel of death
The true
insurgents stayed at home
They went
to bed each night
as if they
were sleeping with a deadly lover
They went
to sleep each night
as if they
were in love with death
The true
revolutionaries stayed at home
They
confronted each new death
as if it
was a new way of life
