    beautiful?
    Personally I'd go for "gaudy". Where is this, Cuba? What is it supposed to be in aid of. Could somebody give me some information on this statue please?

    Gaudy maybe, but it still looks very realistic. Wouldn't it be cool if it was a golem?

    It's in Santa Clara at the Che museum/memorial. Or at least they have one just like it there.
    Should the guide I choose be nothing better than a wandering cloud, I cannot miss my way

    That statue is in Santa Clara....however it is not at the BIG memorial where he is buried. I did not see that statue while in Santa Clara.....so I am not sure of its exact location in the city. If for some reason it is at the big memorial, I didn't see it....and I wandered to every corner of the site and I am blind

    If I get out of here, the river swallows me
    It is my destiny: Today I must die!
    But no, willpower can overcome everything.
    There are the obstacles, I admit it.
    I dont want to come out.
    If I have to die, it will be in this cave.

    The bullets, what can the bullets do to me if
    my destiny is to die by drowning. But I am
    going to overcome destiny. Destiny can be
    achieved by willpower.

    Die, yes, but riddled with
    bullets, destroyed by the bayonets, if not, no. Drowned, no
    a memory more lasting than my name
    Is to fight, to die fighting.
