Photograph of a hand

I saw a photograph of a hand

in a museum

thin and emaciated

It does not matter whose hand was this

a blackman, a white, or a colored

A male or a female......

It was an active hand of a factory worker

might be a hand of undernurished African refugee

or a hand of an AIDS victim....

It was a fisted raised hand

with a slogan in a procession

for human rights.....

It was the cut hand of doctor Che Guevara

sacrificed for the latin American people......
