For Ernesto ‘Ché’ Guevara de la Serna
(14 June 1928 – 9 October 1967)
The Wind Carries His Name …
They shot him do
wn,
to silence a man of flesh and bone.
Even as the bullets tore through him,
the wind carried his name.
Far across the weary fields,
high above the stubborn peaks,
over the blood soaked streams,
the wind carried his name.
They shot him down,
to silence a man of flesh and bone.
Yet the wind carries his name,
to you and to me,
to them and to us.
They shot him down,
but his name resounds,
as it floats on the breeze.
And,
still they try to shoot him down,
to silence us all,
to stifle an ideal.
But the wind cannot be stilled,
and the wind carries his name.
“Che”.
So beautiful and powerful!!!

Thank you for remembering Che. I have his photo above me and I wear his tee-shirt. I educate people. Once was a intelliegent, fearless and bold man who wanted a better world. You are right. He isn’t forgotten.

your words are so true and powerful and honest. It is always so tragic that forces opposed to a humane world with less poverty and less the unbridled march of compassionless have destroyed those who chose to try and build a better world. And yes, the man may have been murdered but the spirit and inspiration still burns bright. Hasta la Victoria Siempre, companero !
