Pourqoui

Why is it so hard to be a 'leftist'?
First,
you got to get rid of a supernatural Gott and
stand on you own two feet
and be a wo/man.

I see Che,
bronzed in the forest
walking like
a lion
in torn khakis
and mud stained beret..
and see a giant.

Straddling his inadequecies
his ashthma
his bourgoise roots
like a conqueror.

Walking through the crowd
healing with one hand
blowing bridges with another
seated
centred
still
like Buddha
in the midst
of the storm.

Now that is spiritual conquest.
Not running to a mountain hill
weeping willows
getting stoned
on mantras, prayers
gods.
Being a man
is the hardest thing to do.
harder than being a 'god'.
