Spectres of Che

from Laurels of the End of History by Cime

lyrics

A flower can’t bloom in the shade of before
Only from water and light can fruit be born
Spring won’t arrive with autumnal repeats
We must syncretize so we can synthesize
Soviet October with our July heat

There are leaders we adore, and those which were poor
They all make for good mulch and nothing more
It's not a drab, it's an honorable toil
And with any luck we'll all make great topsoil

But when a tree falls and we’re left with a stump
We take the lumber and build a nice trunk
As its seeds plant a forest which inherit its traits
As it’s evolved to adapt within its constraints

Castro Chavez Allende and Che
Their spirits roam the earth they led
No longer a tree, their shade so heavy
With branches that block light meant for saplings

This conjecture, I came to find out, is a tenet of historical materialism.
