The blazon icon showing Mary's face
put steel in spines of peons seeking new
and better treatment under ruling race.
Now slaves were numbered many, Spaniards few
and freedom gained would mean a battle's view.
With knives and machetes they would fight the foe,
to freedom's great call they'd not be untrue.
But time and bullets, cannons, gave them woe.

People knew the story behind the icon - a story giving hope and promise in revolution:
"The Lady of Guadalupe is Mary, the mother of Jesus, as she appeared
in a miracle near Mexico City. Not long after the Spaniards took Mexico,
a poor Aztec met her on a rocky hillside. To prove that she wanted a church
built in that place, she made roses bloom there, though none had ever
bloomed before. The Aztec put some of these roses in his carrying net.
When he took them out, Mary's picture appeared on the net in colors. She
is the special friend and protector of the Mexican people."
Diego Silva's father followed Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla from victories at Guanajuato,
Villadoid, and Monte de las Cruces to their final defeat at Calderon and capture in the northern desert. Father stayed with his ‘priest-leader' ever loyal and true. Waiting execution in
Chihuahua City, his wife and son visited him. Before being shot, he extracted an oath from
Diego.

no introduction to this one like all the others...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
