back, to 35 Octobers ago.<\/p>\n<p>Old Man Antonio watched the bonfire resist the rain. Beneath his dripping straw hat he lights his hand-rolled cigarette with a burning ember. The fire stays alive, hiding occasionally beneath the logs; the wind helps it, its breath reviving the coals, red with rage.<\/p>\n<p>The camp is called \u201c<em>Watapil<\/em>\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2020\/10\/23\/part-four-memory-of-what-is-to-come\/#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a>\u00a0and is located in the Sierra Cruz de Plata which rises between the wet arms of the Jatat\u00e9 and Perlas rivers. It\u2019s 1985, and October receives the group with a storm, presaging their future. The tall almond tree (which will become the namesake of that mountain in the insurgent\u2019s vernacular) looks down with compassion at the small, minuscule, insignificant group of men and women at its feet, with their gaunt faces, haggard bodies, bright eyes (perhaps from fever, stubbornness, fear, delirium, hunger or lack of sleep), ragged brown and black clothes, and boots distorted by the knotted vines that are intended to hold their soles in place.<\/p>\n<p>Softly and slowly, his words barely audible over the howl of the storm, Old Man Antonio speaks as if he were talking to himself:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Ruler will return again to impose on the color of the earth his harsh word, his ego that kills all reason, his bribe disguised as a handout.<\/em><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>The day will come when death will wear its cruelest clothes, its steps accompanied by the screeching cogs of the machine that sicken each path it takes with the lie that it brings abundance, even as it sows destruction. Whosoever opposes that noise which terrifies plants and animals will be killed, both in life and in memory: the first with lead, the latter with lies. Night will thus be longer. Pain will be drawn out. Death will be more deadly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Aluxo\u2019ob<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2020\/10\/23\/part-four-memory-of-what-is-to-come\/#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\"><strong>[ii]<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0will alert the Mother Earth: \u201cDeath is coming, mother, it\u2019s killing as it comes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mother Earth, the first mother of all, will wake up<\/em><em>\u2014<\/em><em>shaking awake the parrots, macaws, and toucans<\/em><em>\u2014<\/em><em>reclaim the blood of her guardians (<\/em>guardianes\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0guardianas<em>)<\/em>\u00a0and speak to her people:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet some of you go to taunt the invader. Let others of you sound the call to our brethren. May the waters not frighten you; may neither cold nor heat discourage you. Cut paths where there are none, cross rivers and seas. Traverse mountains, fly through rain and fog. Whether night or day or the small hours of the morning, go and alert all creatures. My names and colors are many, but my heart is one, and my death will be the death of everything. Do not be ashamed of the skin color I have given you, nor of the language I have placed in your mouth, nor of your stature which keeps you close to me. I will give light to your gaze, warmth to your ears and strength to your feet and arms. Do not fear different colors and customs, nor different paths. One is the heart I have passed down to you\u2014one understanding, and one gaze.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Then, under siege by the Aluxo\u2019ob, the machines of deadly deception will fall apart, their arrogance broken, their greed destroyed. The powerful will bring lackeys from other nations to rebuild the broken death machine. They will examine the innards of the death machine and discover why it is so damaged: \u201cit is full of blood inside.\u201d In an attempt to explain the reason for this terrible wonder, the bosses will announce, \u201cWe don\u2019t know why, all we know is that the blood is directly descended from originary blood.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Then, evil will rain down upon itself in the grand mansions where the Power gets drunk and commits abuses. Unreason will enter into its territory and blood, rather than water, will run through its waterways. Its gardens will wither and the hearts of its workers and servants will turn cold. Power will thus bring in other vassals to use: they will come from other lands, and hate will grow between equals, spurred on by money. They will fight amongst themselves, and death and destruction will emerge between people with shared history and pain.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Those who before worked and lived off of the land will become servants and slaves of the Powerful on the very lands and under the skies of their ancestors. They will see misfortune befall their houses. They will lose their sons and daughters, drowned in the rot of corruption and crime. The practice of the \u201cright of the first night\u201d will return, by which money kills innocence and love. Babies will be ripped from their mothers\u2019 breast, their flesh taken by the great Lords to satisfy their evilness and cruelty. Disputes over money will cause children to raise hands against their parents, and their houses will be cast into mourning. Daughters will be lost in darkness and death, their life and being killed by the Lords and their money.\u00a0 Unknown illnesses will attack those who sold their dignity and that of their loved ones in exchange for a few coins; those who betrayed their people, their blood, and their history; and those who created and spread the lie.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The mother ceiba tree, sustainer of worlds, will scream so loudly that even the most distant deafness will hear her injured cry. Seven distant voices will approach her; seven distant arms will embrace her; and seven different fists will join together with her. The mother ceiba will then lift her\u00a0<\/em><em>skirts<\/em>\u00a0<em>and with her thousand feet kick and dislodge the iron railways. The wheeled machines will run off their metal tracks. The waters will overflow the rivers and lakes and the sea itself will howl with fury, and the entrails of the earth and the skies will open in all worlds.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The mother Earth, the first mother of all, will rise up and reclaim her house and her place with fire.

For the former to end and the latter to flourish, it is merely necessary to struggle and be better. Everything else carries on by itself and tends to end up in libraries and museums. There\u2019s no need to conquer the world; it\u2019s enough to make it anew.
