You Can Kill My Body, And You

I Worked In The Mechanical Factories Repairing Cement Trucks. The Cuban Government Wanted Me To Work In The University As A Teacher In Literature, But I Declined Because I Wanted A More Sense Of The Countryside.

I Think The Basis - The Foundation - Has Already Been Laid For A Society Where People Will Work Together And Enjoy The Wealth Of The Whole Nation Together. I Think This Will Be Accomplished Because This Is The Theme Of The Revolutionary Government's Program.

When I Was In The Penitentiary After Being Accused Of Killing A Policeman, I Was More In The System In The Penitentiary Than Ever.

I Had A Lot Of Time And The First Year I Was In Prison, I Tried To Get The Party To Stop The Shooting, To Stop The Talk About The Gun Thing.

What I'm Really Trying To Say Is That I Believed An Armed Insurrection Could Work. After I Was Shot And Went To Prison, That Ended That Illusion. I Had Time To Think.
