BURNT ALIVE!

poem: extract from Carmen Gloria Quintana
SURVIVOR OF THIS HORROR
On
the 2nd of July 1986, two youth were burnt by a military patrol during a protest
against Pinochet dictatorship. Then, it is said, it was an officer, who wrote
in the wall near where Carmen Gloria Quintana (18) and Rodrigo Rojas Denegri (19)
were detained, 'ZONE OF FRIED FAT' (ZONA DE CHICHARRONES).
These soldiers
were not ashamed of this cowardly act, instead they obviously found it amusing.
They might have been drugged as it was the case when the 'glorious' chilean army
INVADED PERU and killed old people, women and children in the most horrible way
even inside catholic churches!
these events took place in the WAR OF THE PACIFIC - pacific ocean that is because no war is pacific or TIDY, as donald rumsfeld seem to have 'convinced himself'', normally the case in extremely psychotic patients. Chileans are never told this war from the point of view of PERU or BOLIVIA, country that lost THE COAST. It is long overdue, to solve our destinies in a PAN LATIN AMERICAN way which was the dream of SIMON BOLIVAR.
The european newly found togetherness is nothing new for us Latin Americans, and there is nothing new about the powers that prevent this from happening either, these same powers have been at work since the beginning of the murderous conquest of OUR LAND.
The dismembered body of Tupac Amaru has been put together again, says the myth, after 500 years, our way of thinking is not going away, one day we will fulfill the reality of our great LAND because it is not what it seems, many small countries and a bully almost right on top - not at all!!!
OUR LAND is made of two GIANT TURTLES facing each other guarding the giant SNAKE that lives in the centre, in a lake, possibly Nicaragua; these turtles communicate with each other through two magnificent BIRDS: the CONDOR that flies from South to North, and the EAGLE that flies from North to South, and through mythical MOUNTAIN RUNNERS that run in spirit the whole continent via THE ANDES and THE ROCKIES.
One day, one day, the GREAT CHIEFS OF THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH and THE POWERFUL MACHIS, AYAHUASQUEROS & TRADITIONAL HEALERS will rule as it WAS ALWAYS OUGHT TO BE.
I apologise to you Rodrigo and Carmen Gloria, i apologise because it is sad to think that you, me and the horrible people that did this savage act to your bodies were born in the same land. How i wish those profiteers and their military puppets could be sent to some other planet, devoid from life, where they could not do any more harm.
I never thought i was going
to be burnt alive
not even when i was soaked in petrol
I thought
when i get home
i will take a shower.
I suffered horrible burns
to 65% of my body.
When my 5 year old daughter
asks me how i was bunt
i simply say, i just burnt.
