“The lessons were very different,
in West Point instruction was pure:
school never taught them
that those who kill could be killed:
the Yankees never learned
how we love our poor and dear land
how we'd defend the flags
we'd sewn with so much pain and love.
What they couldn't learn in Philadelphia,
was taught in blood in Nicaragua" (Translated in Barbara Harlow's book, pp.64-65, 1987)”
