For Me, Hugo Chavez Lives Eternally

In the wake of the sad news of Hugo Chavez's death.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Life cannot truly be said to have been worth living if during its

existence there wasn’t a solitary thing for which its recipient

wasn’t prepared to die. You Senor Comandante Hugo Chavez

embodied that concept and the true patriotic people of the

Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and their many

likeminded friends and admirers across the

world know that and salute you for it.

 

Death comes finally to all of us but how we live our

individual life and the good we did while we were

here is what really matters; and in the hearts

of those that knew us, remain, and come

after we too are gone live on eternally.

 

In the context of that and what you accomplished for the

people of Venezuela specifically as well as those globally

who’re inspired by that but are still fighting for justice,

their dignity and equality; that committed struggle

Comandante, even though you’re no longer here

with us, goes on unremittingly, consummately

inspired by your unquestionable humanity,

honesty, sincerity in what like us you

believed in but most appreciably

and crucially in what you did!

 

So RIP Comandante Hugo Chavez; and while your

death pains me emotionally and it’s a bitter pill to

swallow as my tears additionally and unchecked

flow copiously, you’ll forever live on in my

memory and particularly in the knowledge

that like you so convincingly said:

“Venezuela is independent, its

people free, and will never

[again] be a US colony!”

With heartfelt tears and commiseration to the patriotic people of Venezuela at your passing but none the less with unbounded pride in what you stood for and died. For as with Yasser Arafat’s demise we recognize immediately the murderous handiwork of the imperialist enemies. Profound condolences to my spiritual and political Venezuelan brothers and sisters and gracias for the friendship you’ve shown under the inspired leadership of Hugo Chavez not only to the people of the Americas but those of the Caribbean as well.

 

And to the American Empire and its fawning allies I say this: No matter how powerful you think you are everything just lasts for a time and eventually collapses in decline: the Roman Empire did, as did the British one for example; and hatred can never kill off the inspired dream of justice and equality that all fair-minded people strive for and will eventually win. And personally I’d hate to be in the shoes of your future citizens left to inherit the stench and who knows what calamities of your barbaric legacy? Viva the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and also the rest of the SANE WORLD!!
