Let us remember all the revolutionaries (among them Castillo himself, who was burnt alive for fighting as a guerilla against the amerikkkan puppet regime in Guatemala) who have been martyred in the struggle for a world free of oppression and inequalites. May they rest in peace, and we continue their struggle, and continue until we are triumphant! Enjoy comrades:

Satisfaction
By Otto Rene Castillo

The most beautiful thing
for those who have fought a whole life
is to come to the end and say;
we believed in people and life,
and life and the people
never let us down.

Only in this way do men become men,
women become women,
fighting day and night
for people and for life.

And when these lives come to an end
the people open their deepest rivers
and they enter those waters forever.
And so they become, distant fires, living,
creating the heart of example

The most beautiful thing
for those who have fought a whole life
is to come to the end and say;
we believed in people and life,
and life and the people
never let us down.
