The Writing On The Wall Asuncion
The Che’s footsteps still resound in the Paraguayan Chaco
After many vain sacrificial wars and a resilient poverty
The ghosts of the Cristeros and the Knights of Columbus
Dead Solano Lopez still standing in his bronze boots
A population wiped out in 1864-1870 by the Triple Alliance War
The scar remains in the minds, but the flame still burns
