For the Ladies in White.
Those emblematic white roses, mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, with their marble whiteness, they face the olive-green intolerance that perfumes the streets and the scene. Monuments to the Virgin Mary, representatives of dignity, heirs of history, makers of dreams, fragrances of butterflies, constant sentinels of the sun, lineages of Mambisas (Cuban fighters [...]

For my dear brothers from the Group of the 75.
They snatched me from the arms of Yolanda, from the heart of the family, and from the social environment.
