"The Prophet

Stretched out on his mat, the priest-jaguar of Yucatán listened to the gods' message. They spoke to him through the roof, sitting astride of his house, in a language that no one else knew.

"Scattered through the world shall be the women who sing and the men who sing and all who sing . . .No one will escape, no one will be saved . . .There will be much misery in the years of the rule of greed. Men will turn into slaves. Sad will be the face of the sun . . .The world will be depopulated, it will become small and humiliated . . ."

-Eduardo Galeano, Genesis
