CHE GUEVARA: Hasta La Victoria Siempre!

Hasta la victoria siempre! Sampai kemenangan abadi nanti! Begitu bisik Che Guevara kepada Julia Cortex, seorang guru di sekolah terpencil di Bolivia. Julia amat terpesona dengan gerilyawan Kubt yang saat itu menjadi tawanan tentara Bolivia. Sosok dan tutur katanya tak seperti tawanan pd umumnya. Tak lama setelah pertemuan itu, Che dieksekusi tentara Bolivia. Iya mati muda dalam usia 39 tahun. Kepergiannya ke Bolivia sebenarnya sudah di cegah oleh Fidel Castro. Pemimpin Kuba ini bahkan sudah memberinya berbagai jabatan. Tetapi, keinginannya memerangi kapitalisme-imperialisme di berbagai bangsa, terutama di Amerika Latin, telah mengalahkan segalanya. Walau demikian, meski ajal telah menjemputnya puluhan tahun lalu, namanya masih tetap populer hingga kini. Kisah hidup dan gambar grafis wajah tampannya yang berbaret hitam dan dipasangi bintang bahkan masih disukai kaum muda dunia, bahkan di indonesia. Tak dapat dipungkiri, Che adalah salah satu ikon dalam sejarah modern.

Friend

Someone turned to me and
asked
'How many friends have you?'
why 10 or 20 friends I
believe
And began to named a few....

A blessed one you are
to have so many friends
But think of what you're saying...
A friend is just not someone
to whom you say 'hello'

A friend is a tender shoulder
on which to softly cry
A well to pour your troubles down
And raise your spirits high
A friend is a hand to pull you up
From darkness and despair and all your other 'so called' friends
Have helped to put you there
A true friend is an ally who can't be moved or bought
A voice to keep your name alive when others have forgot

But most of all a friend has a true heart
For from the hearts of friends
There comes the greatest love of all!

So think about all this for every word is true
And once again answer please...
How many friends have you? After much throught I answered
I really only have just one
'it's you!'
A friend is always special because friends love you
Just because you're you!
