it
is not the end
my
comrade
it
is the beginning of
a
long journey
yours
continues after
death
ours
continues
for
the struggle
continues
it
continues
forever
Marxism
shall
never die
we
shall hold
fast
to the goal
of
peace, for
humanity
the
blood the red blood
of
those who toil
for
a living will
flow
for an eternity
and
we
shall
touch the stars
may they shine
forever
we
will continue the journey
we
will have bread
for
every human being
no
child will starve
we
will end discrimination
based
on color
creed
sex
age
nationality
and gender
we
will care for
the
land the planet
mother
earth
shall
never
cease
its yield
there
will be enough
bread
to feed
us
all
even
after
and
until we fill
the
solar system
with
humanity
until
we reach the stars
yours
was a small
mission
that
began on a
small
island
at
the Moncada Barracks
on
The Granma
the
revolution and the revolutionary were both successful
the
isle of Cuba
you
walked through
the
land holding
hands
with
Jose
Marti
you
walked with him
freeing
the
land Cuba
the
land you gave to the people
Why?
you
sought to
liberate
the
working class
because
of you
and
men like you
there
will always
be
land
you
have just begun
your
journey
like
the rocket
carrying
astronauts/ cosmonauts
to
the International Space Station
the
rocket launched
from
Kazakhstan
from
the Soviet Union
your
soul
your
karma
your
ethereal being
rose
to
reach
the
stars
