“Grief Over the Fall of a City”
Broken spear lie in the roadsWe have torn our hair in our
griefThe houses are roofless now,
and their walls are red with blood
Worms are swarming in the streets and plaza
And the walls are splattered with gore
The water has turned red, as if it were dyed.
And when we drink itIt has the taste of brine
We have pounded our hands in despair against the adobe walls
For our inheritance, our city is lost and dead
The shields of our warriors wore its defense,
But they could not save it.
We have chewed dry twigs and salt grasses
We have eaten lizards, rats, and worms
Gold, jade, rich clothes, quetzal feathers
Everything that once was precious Was now considered worthless.
Being a part of Southeast Asia, we experienced the same grief during the Spanish, American, and Japanese invasion of our country. How would you assess our relationship with these countries at present?
