A humble tribute

He was born in Rosario Province, Argentina
My country is still proud of having been his homeland
However, his dream of emancipating countries
took his rebel spirit far away from this land
Such noble were his aspirations that they became
worthwhile of coming true
Truly, he had the chance of a lifetime
In 1953, his destiny lead him to travel across
so many lands by motorbike
His legacy was a diary about this journey
called The Motorcycle Diaries
By mean of this out of common trip, he got to know a lot about
third-country-world countries
He couldn´t stand observing
the oppression of Imperialism doctrine

He had to make a historic revolution
But, his family raised him to be a doctor
He also wanted to fulfill that expectation
After leaving Medical school, he started to save lives
Thousands of miles
He fought for equality in rights and emancipation
He achieved the liberation of Cuba
But that was not his ultimate goal to reach
He thought big
He was brave enough in order to speak for
each and every unvoiced country

Unfortunately, there are still some succeeds
which are impossible to have
In 1967, death knocked at his door, when he was 39 years
Actually, his ashes remain in Cuba
But the flame of his soul still lives on in
Those who believe in the power of revolution
After all, he was a realistic man who tried to do the impossible
Indeed, he always expected people from all over the world
to straighten up their hearts
His name was Ernesto Che Guevara
This is my humble tribute to such a stout-hearted revolutionist
Some may hate his name
Some others may admire to his achievements
What is undeniable is that Ernesto
is a larger-than-life historical figure
What is more, he has become
a cultural icon across the world

There are still many people who stand up for his name
There are some others who don’t support his idealism
There is just one truth, above all
Never will Guevara´s name be forgotten
Hasta siempre comandante …
