This system hates Love
They’d ban Love if they could
Make a rule against it
Bar Love from entering the prison
Put it on the list of contraband
next to weapons and drugs
But they can’t because Love,
real Love is unwavering
A Reality that shatters plexiglass
A blade that slices through bars
and cracks concrete
Love, is the Essence of the Struggle
in pure form
And if they do find a way to ban Love?
Then we’ll become co-conspirators
and criminals
Shouting and screaming Love
In picket lines and protests
Inventing new ways
to smuggle Love
through both sides of the fence

At the risk of sounding ridiculous let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of Love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
– Che Guevara, in a letter to Carlos Quijano, 1965
