pero al cabo de varias semanas,
cuando cierto geneeral,
arrogándose el papel de juez,
ordenó el levantamiento
de uu cadáver
que se llamaba españa,
mi abuelo,
que era rojo,
corrió al registro civil,
pidió la partida de nacimiento de su hija
y suprimió tres letras de su nombre:
la l
la i
la d.
esas tres letras se unieron
y formatron la palabra
lid,
o sea:
WAR.

who was a communist,
ran to city hall,
asked for the birth certificate of his daughter
and deleted three letters from her name:
the l

those three letters together formed the word
lid.
that is:
WAR.
