<small>José Martí. “Versos Sencillos”, Fragment. ( José Julián Martí Pérez (Havana, 1853 - Dos Ríos, 1895) was a Cuban politician, diplomat, poet, essayist, journalist and philosopher, founder of the Cuban Revolutionary Party and organizer of the Cuban War of Independence, during which he died in combat. He is considered the initiator of literary modernism in Latin America. He is considered the national hero of the Republic of Cuba, and his ideals of independence and anti-colonialism have been used by the Cuban regime to politically indoctrinate the Cuban people. But these same ideals of nationalism and independence also serve as a guide and inspiration to the opposition that desires a Cuba without repression, a just country and a republic “with everyone and for the good of everyone”).</small> | <small>José Martí. “Versos Sencillos”, Fragment.

The death of that plant also speaks about the Cuban context in general, its history, and its current socio-political crisis that generates physical and sentimental ruptures of its most vulnerable families. It has affected especially the humble elderly people who were the working generations who created and supported the revolutionary Cuban process that became corrupted and negligent to them. Now, those persons are the most affected by the crisis, being abandoned by the system to which they gave their faith and the effort of their lives. | The death of that plant also speaks about the Cuban context in general, its history, and its current socio-political crisis that generates physical and sentimental ruptures of its most vulnerable families.
