" "
Let us shout louder than her memory,
louder than the unheard cries
of 200,000 disappeared,
buried alive in pits,
thrown alive from planes,
butchered and bayoneted
defenseless and blindfolded
in the name of democracy.
It is real, the nightmare,
and without end.
How can we sleep?
How can we sleep?
