The One Who is Always There
By Otto Rene Castillo
You,
comrade,
the one who is always there.
The one
who never fell back.
Shit!
The one who never
played coward
with the flesh of the people.
Who stood up
against beatings and jail,
exile and shadow.
You,
comrade,
the one who is always there.
And I love you
for your timeless honor,
—little sensitive animal,
for your faith,
greater
and more heroic
than all the giants
of all religions combined.
But, you know,
the centuries to come
will stand on their toes
on the shoulders of this planet,
Comrade! by Maxim Gorky

This short story (5pg) by Maxim Gorky explores and articulates what the word "comrade" means to the stuggling and oppressed, and shows the unmistakable, and indestructible, power behind it and the ideas which it stands for. This is really a beautifull story, and articulates very well the meaning of one of my favorite words, and hopefully one of your favorite words as well! Enjoy comrades:
