The Bolivarian Revolution and the Chavez Code

The last couple days have been especially educational, despite my recovery process (Just a cough left, by the way). After a few glimpses, I finally have a fairly complete outline of recent Venezuelan history and society. First we watched a documentary about the Bolivarian Revolution, and later we listened to Eva Goliger, author of The Chavez Code, talk about the US attempts to destablize Venezuela that she uncovered using the Freedom Of Information Act. I'm not as certain as she is about all her findings, but Venezuela has definately been misrepresented in the US media.

I figured I'd simply comment this way - greater likelihood of your remembering to comment back ;) and, having read some of your blog, I now see the source of your Spanish knowledge :) so I appreciate your input.

The "doscientos maƱanas" was originally meant to mean "tomorrows", however if it manages to have a double meaning that suits me just fine ;)

So. Besides the grammatical errors, what did you think of the poem itself?
