Somoza Unveils Somoza’s Statue of Somoza at the Somoza
Stadium
It’s not that I think the people raised this statue to me,
because I know better than you that I ordered it myself.
Nor that I have any illusions about passing with it into
posterity
because I know the people will one day tear it down.
Nor that I wished to erect to myself in life
the monument you’ll not erect to me in death:
I put up this statue just because I know you’ll hate it.
(Translated by Donald Walsh)
