Contains Quinine

Quaffing tonic water
pleasant kind of sour
quells the muscle spasms
in the midnight hour

..well my Mum swears by it and she's 84
worked for me last night..

hold up I'm here for a poem:

Letter to Castro

24 February 1962

Dear Comandante

Death to the imperialists
death to all capitalist counter revolutionaries
death to the gringos
and their failed attempt on your shores
trust not Khrushchev
may you continue to be
hung like a horse
in your green fatigues
and carry the beard
of the mercenary
may the sisters
continue to fall for you
may sugar rise
send more cigars

Viva la revolución

Che

Hi ocean! a cool verse! Che Guevara... a very mysterious and controversial personality. I believe in his passionable desire to change the world for the better ... the question is in methods ... Lily head banger

“Many will call me an adventurer, and that I am...only one of a different sort: one who risks his skin to prove his truths.”
“If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.”
“We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it
“Every day People straighten up the hair, why not the heart?”
“At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.”
“Let the world change you and you can change the world”
“Be realistic, demand the impossible!”
“I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.”
“I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man."
“I would rather die standing up to live life on my knees.”
“Above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world.”
“I knew that when the great guiding spirit cleaves humanity into two antagonistic halves, I will be with the people.”
“After graduation, due to special circumstances and perhaps also to my character, I began to travel throughout America, and I became acquainted with all of it. Except for Haiti and Santo Domingo, I have visited, to some extent, all the other Latin American countries. Because of the circumstances in which I traveled, first as a student and later as a doctor, I came into close contact with poverty, hunger and disease; with the inability to treat a child because of lack of money; with the stupefaction provoked by the continual hunger and punishment, to the point that a father can accept the loss of a son as an unimportant accident, as occurs often in the downtrodden classes of our American homeland. And I began to realize at that time that there were things that were almost as important to me as becoming famous for making a significant contribution to medical science: I wanted to help those people.”
“The revolution is not an apple that falls when ripe. You have to make it fall.”
“HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE”
Che Guevara
(Some of his life line quotes).
RIP Che Guevara.

Interesting poem Ocean,

Che has Irish roots going back some generations... and to this day he has supporters here.

Hi SM

So many quotes, I'll believe you they were Che's words.

Irish roots Mick, don't the Irish love a folk hero who rises up for the people and who is doomed to fail? ;)
