Sitting in the sun
on Scorpius
1963
a very
good year bad year
Greek democracy died
political assassination grew
to national proportions
with the victims
the President and Lee
Harvey Oswald
on live tv
in front of my eyes
living in a house covered
with snow and sunlight
falling through the lace
curtains in the tv room
on Scorpius
the play of weather
on real-time screens
batch processed
through megabit
disks to predict
weather
here
and there
in the Chile streets
to the victor
belongs the spoils
in Greece
the winter stadium
become prison
as bare months ago
so too the stadium
became the prison as the
shudder
of spring turned red
with the blood of brothers
ya estan matando a Chilenos
and now they are killing Chileans
in the Greek sports stadiums
too
they are showing
how they define
spoils
justice
live to fight
fight to live
- Daniel del Solar To the Victor belongs the Spoils
