| Notes | This poem appears to reference the ongoing Columbian conflict, which began in 1964. The speaker of the poem describes the killing of children on the streets of Bogota, the capital of Columbia, as part of the continuous fighting. The speaker addresses someone called 'Jaime' repeatedly in the poem: this may refer to Jaime Garzón, a Columbian journalist, comedian and peace activist, who was murdered by right-wing paramilitaries in 1990. |
