III. k! am a poor wanderer Fleeing from El Salvador Don't know where I come from All I know is here I am And only God who is always with me Knows what I'm headed toward/ A popular song quoted in Phillipe Bourgois, 'What U.S. Foreign Policy Faces in Rural El Salvador: An Eyewitness Account, Monthly Review. Vol. 34 May 1982, p. 23. IV. 'We are seeing the ugly face of our history.... It is not the church which is sowing seeds of violence. Violence is the fruit of unjust laws that benefit only one sector of the population. If the church is trying to change things and at the same time trying to maintain its identity, keeping true to Christ, this is not communism, it is Christian justice. Our Saviour taught us that you must lose your life in order to gain eternal life. That is the dialectics of the Church. But-.these men who are ruling over us do not want to lose anything at all.' Archbishop Romero. V God and our mountains fight for us.' Augusto C. Sandino Journal of Arts and Ideas 131
