Playa Girón

Comrade poets
Taking into account the latest events
In poetry, I would like to ask
I urgently
What kind of adjectives should be used
To make the poem of a ship?
Without becoming sentimental, outside of the avant-garde
Or evident pamphlet
Should I use words like
Cuban fishing fleet and
Playa Girón?

Comrade musicians
Taking into account those polytonal
And bold songs, I would like to ask
I urgently
What kind of harmony should be used
To make the song of this ship
With men of little childhood, men and only
Men on deck
Black and red and blue men
The men who populate Playa Girón?

Comrade historians,
Taking into account how relentless
The truth must be, I would like to ask
I urgently
What should I say, what boundaries should I respect?
If someone steals food
And then gives their life, what to do?
How far should we practice truths?
How far do we know?
Let them write, then, the history, their history
The men of Playa Girón
