necessity of
liberation

by Roberto Lavidez

however
unexpected
and
venturesome
it might be
some men’s
having
must not be
allowed to
constitute
an obstacle
to other’s
having
even if
only within
the compass
of eternity
that the said
problem
allows
of finding a
complete
solution
by recalling
ancient history
and events
that had
long passed
from memory
knowledge of
reality through
common
reflection
and action
at the mercy
of all sorts
of absurd
and even
insane
notions
emancipation
of mankind
should
open up
to every
possibility
that should
be tried to
the utmost
and nothing
should be
ignored that
offered any
hope
wandering off
into the sphere
of the
transcendent
or transforming
the animate
into something
inanimate
is not a sign
of life
but a sign
of death
and decay
on the 
other hand
if man’s
will is
invariably
bound up
with a
condition of
dependence
no human
understanding
will ever bring
in a position
to fathom how
it is possible
to raise him
above the
level of
animality or
that it is
impossible
that he should
ever be
entirely
free from
the pathology
of love
through
domination
of others
but who can
better
understand
the necessity
of liberation
but the
oppressed
whose
obedience to
predetermined
order of things
and impaired
perception of
themselves
by their
submission
in the reality
of oppression
should empty
the utterances
stored in their
hearts and minds
and realize
that they are
more than
tortoises who are
secure against
all blows only
when they are 
drawn up
inside their shells
