Come Back Commander Poem by Philip Jose

Come Back Commander

Rating: 4.7


Come back O Commander! ,
From your monument,
Where you slept for the last.
It is time O Commander! ,
Let the oppressors spring agape.

Come back O Che Guevara! ,
Incarnate, a youth of vigorous hands,
And an igneous iron heart,
For no receptive ears responded,
And no one took up arms.

Come back O Commander! ,
We want you to stare at with your fiery eyes,
The cowards who bear your visage on their T-shirts;
And at the Communist-serpents of today.
Time is most ripe, O Commander, rise up!

Come back O Che Guevara! ,
Thy most hated imperialism,
Is spreading in its' new version;
The bloody-avaricious-America says,
''We will lead the nations''

O Commander come back,
For like gluttonous hags,
They devour the marrow of the oppressed;
The democrats go on with the general will,
Against the will of the general.

O Commander! O non-pareil,
Let's gather men from all around,
REVOLT, win and move again to
The lands of the oppressed;
Let us break the barricades, proceed with our guns.

Come back O Che Guevara! ,
We shall not entreat,
We shall not warn,
Shatter the blood-sucking mansions, we will.
Come back O commander! ,
''The price you sought '' is not yet won.

In the best this piece is a revolution within a pessimist transforming himself into an optimist in waiting or otherwise It is a poem which reminds me of Mathew Arnold`s famous statement on P.B Shelley and it is up to you to trace it.
