You gave it your all Bren. You fought it like no other, not now. FOREVER.

In a society that expelled you and mistreated you. And where the macho violence and the neglect of the State violent you until you end your life.

This custom of killing us will end, we will carry you as a flag and we will fight until justice is done.

For you and for all those who kill us.

We were there and we will always be there, denouncing the violence we suffer and building the weaves we need to take care of ourselves.
