Margarita XXXIX

El Segundo saw light of life in place
called Guanajuato of Mexico.
It's know his father came from beaten race,
his standard life was seen as very low,
a beast of burden named tenatero.
Officials seized the most of wages paid
for taxes keeping life as status quo.
To fight such rule all peons seemed afraid.

Don Huerra's foreman, Diego Silva, also known as El Segundo, was born
in Guanajuato, Mexico of poor indian parents. Before the revolution, his
father had worked six hours a day, six days a week in a mine carrying
heavy ore bags on his shoulders to the smelter. At that time he was called
a tenatero, beast of burden. Spanish officials took most of his wages for
taxes often beating him if he was slow in giving. At the end of twenty
years his condition was worse than when he'd began. In desperation, he
and other miners had followed Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in general
insurrection. Their battle cry was: "Long live the Catholic religion! Long live
America! Death to bad government! Death to the "gachupines!"
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was an aging priest from the village of Dolores,
Guanajuato. Because he'd introduced two illegal industries, wine making
and silk culture, government officials had come to his village destroying the
vines and mulberry trees.
