Faces of power..

 Oleg Yasinsky:

 “In an imaginary Ukraine, an imaginary president canceled imaginary presidential elections.

 At the sight of the faces of this power, the words of the poet emerge from memory again:

 THE ART OF DYING

 Take any type of machine
 after eight or more years of faith in the rule of law.

 And during the Independence Day ceremony, open fire on fourteen players,
 turning the country into a pathetic chessboard for a game without rules.

 Then kill the American ambassador
 leaving him with a last jasmine flower in one of the holes in his forehead.

 Then fire at the feet of the lord archbishop,
 so that before you finish him off, you will hear words of blasphemy from him.

 After this, scatter the skin pores of twelve fat colonels through the air.

 Have time to shout long live the people while the guardsmen take aim.

 Remember the eyes of children,
 the name of your only one,
 take a deep breath and most importantly, try
 do not drop the weapon from your hands,
 when the earth quickly rushes towards you.

 ROQUE DALTON (El Salvador)
