                             The Disinterment of Neruda

      Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in aliam lapidem mittat

This Neruda - the Fascists murdered him
This Neruda - let us ****** him again
The people read and love his poems too much
And they ignore ours – let us dig him up

This Neruda – we will dig him up
And subject him to our Inquisition
We now will tell you what each fragment means
Each fragment of each word, his flesh, his bone

We have our bullhorns and our three-beat chants
His poems will mean what we tell you they mean

Shut up
