“Good bye Companion”, a poem written by Muriel Dockendorff dedicated to her husband Juan Molina Manzor:
Good bye companion!
It will be until always or never
Or perhaps it will not be;
You go away to any part
Where there is to fight
To send the shout
And to the town to wake up
You go away to any part
To construct a new world
Where the equality exists.
You and I know that you will not return,
Today it is your turn
Tomorrow perhaps the one of so many more,
When you go away I will think
In a man really
That it gave its blood
The destiny gambled
By the cause of the freedom
A life finishes
Example of so many
Hope of many
The hour to begin with already arrived
They will know of your sacrifice?
They will include/understand your delivery? …
He is not that what delays, I know companion
And bleeding the soul to me
A Good bye escapes!
