Day 180

Y asi como todo cambia...



Today
11/09
is every 
11/09

Today is the day Salvador Allende was killed
together with democracy,
on the stairs of La Moneda, 
Palacio Presidencial de Santiago de Cuba.

Today is seventeen long years of torture,
fears,
desaparecidos,
dictadura,
repression.

Today is every word written by
Isabel Allende,
who left his father alone with his destiny,
so to be with him through witness and memoir.

Today is the day this song could be sung again
and again
in front of crowded stadiums
 after it became a hymn of peace and freedom,
re interpreted by many latin american artists,
as Mercedes Sosa,
who experienced another bloody repression :
the Argentinian one.

Today is the day every word transmitted by Allende through Radio Magallanes
until the very last moment
can be heard again and again
worldwide
as a warning for those who try to impose violence over history :
freedom can be post poned
but never erased from our memories.
