      Thank you who wrote this poem. I was watching the World Cup, then I went out to smoke, and drink. I was drinking and smoking and singing the poem. Then I swept. I love Ernesto Che Guevara, he died for me, I shell love him as much love myself. Che is the man who made me believe in love. Thank you the author of the poem, and thank you Ernesto. You shall live in my heart, forever.

    They killed a man

    Yet he is far from dead

    Indeed

    He is more alive than ever

    They killed a working man

    With sinister CIA & military might

    Hired by cronies of Capitalism

    To do this disgusting, dirty work

    Instead of the usual & daily dirty work

    That vital work of civilization

    Lifting & hauling

    Digging & scraping

    Cooking & cleaning

    Bending & aching

    The work that pays

    Much less in money than in meaning

    The work that must be done (by somebody else)

    Compulsory

    Contracted

    Coerced

    Constraining

    Condemning

    They killed a romantic man

    With heady ideas & lofty ideals

    He was real

    He was realistic

    He was really murdered

    Following the Summer of Love

    To make a better world

    Dead half a year after I was born

    Dead way too young for an epic life

    Dead but still shining

    A New Man

    For a new society

    For a new world

    A Wild Man

    A Man of the Earth

    He is a man of dreams

    Dreaming of an awakened life

    Dreaming of a compassionate community

    Dreaming the realistic

    Dreaming the impossible

    Dreaming of us

    Fantasizing

    Surprising

    Maximizing

    Uncompromising

    Prescient

    Present

    Offering a present

    Full of presence

    Beautiful & dutiful

    Even in death

    He is totally full of life

    They cowardly killed a man

    They could never confront,

    Could never convict

    Could never convert

    Could never control

    Could never copy

    They could never corrupt him

    They cowardly killed a courageous man

    To whom they could never compare

    From Latin America to Africa

    Through Europe and Asia

    Back again & infinitely beyond

    Searching

    Traveling

    Unraveling

    Roaming the world

    With insight

    For justice

    Having fun

    A thirty something scrawny man

    An employee of humanity

    Public servant par excellance

    Bearded with black beret

    Strategist, tactician, thinker, doer

    Intellectual, athlete, doctor, poet, player of chess & more

    A human being

    Being human

    Being humane

    Being humble

    Being hungry

    Hungry for adventure & meaning

    Hungry for words & ideas

    Hungry for justice, justice
