Magic Death for a Magic Life

Abstract

I believe in the armed struggle as the only solution for peoples who fight to free themselves, and I am consistent with my beliefs. Many will call me an adventurer, and that I am; but of a different kind—of those who risk their skins to test their truths. It may be that this will be the end. I don't seek it, but it is within the logical calculus of probabilities. If it should be so, I send you a last embrace. I have loved you much, but I have not known how to express my affection; I am extremely rigid in my actions, and I think that sometimes you did not understand me. Besides, it wasn't easy to understand me, but just believe me today. Now, a will that I have polished with an artist's loving care will sustain weak legs and tired lungs. I will do it…Give a thought once in awhile to this little soldier of fortune of the 20th century.
