INHLONIPHO YEMISHINI YOKUSHISELA
Amaqhawe ethu angamaqhawe awazalwanga neRevolution, kodwa eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule, empini yenkululeko. Yile ndlela iNkosi eyababona ngayo: Ibutho laseMexico lalingenawo umnyango ojwayelekile wokuhlinzeka; ngakho-ke amasosha aletha omkabo ukuzobapheka nokubanakekela futhi besalokhu bezisa ububele nokuthantamisa okungaphezu kokuvamile emadodeni abo. Ukuhlonipha kwami abesifazane baseMexico bakulesi sigaba, uhlobo lowesifazane oludelelwa abanye, labo abaphila ngokuzijabulisa okuvilaphayo, ngokuziqhenya okungakunaki ukungabi namsebenzi kwabo.
Umbhali wethu uphinde wahlangana nezinye izinhlobo zabavukeli: Ngikhumbula eyodwa ngokukhethekile; owesifazane omuhle; UColonel Carrasco. Bathi wayala iqembu lakhe labesifazane njengendoda, noma i-Amazon, futhi yena ngokwakhe wayephethe ukudubula ama-akhawunti abo, ngokusetshenziswa kwempi; ukuvumela noma ngubani onqikaza noma ongalaleli empini.
UMengameli uMadero ubuyekeze amasosha eZapatista futhi bamenzela isicupho esingasasebenzi nanamuhla.Ngaphakathi kwamasosha kukhona ama-soldaderas, amanye anezikhundla zezikhulu. Esinye sazo, esasineribhoni eliphinki eliphakeme okhalweni lwaso nomnsalo omkhulu ngemuva njengesiphetho esihle, sasigqame kakhulu. Wayebukeka ekhazimula futhi emuhle ehhashini lakhe. Wena mkhapheli okhaliphile! Wathola konke ukungcola, ngoba ngenxa yalawo masentimitha ombala onjengomlilo, kwasheshe kwacaca ukuthi amabutho ayezungeza nje amabhulokhi ambalwa ukuze avele aphinde avele phambi kukaDon Francisco Madero.

Ngangingenandaba nenani, ngaliphinda kabili kumakhasimende ami angaphandle futhi bawakhokha ngaphandle kokubiza.
Ngaleso sikhathi senjabulo wabona lomkhosi onelukuluku esontweni: Zonke izilwane, ezinkulu nezincane, zazulazula lapha; amahhashi agqoke ama-premieres egolide nesiliva, kanye namaribhoni ajabule anamathele emasimini nasemisileni yawo, izinkomo, izimbongolo nezimbuzi zihlotshiswe futhi zaxwayiswa kusengaphambili ukuthola inzuzo yesibusiso, kanye nezinyoni ezifuywayo ezinyawo zazo ezincane ezintekenteke abazihlobise ngamabhande.
