Way Of Life: Rhymes Of The Inca

By Dennis L. Siluk
May 30, 2005

Pizarro
(Spanish conquistador ((1525))

The blind follow the blind
The dumb follow the fool
But the cleaver, like ‘Pizarro,’
(who could not read or write)
Followed human-nature…
And ruled the Inca world!

Thus, Atahualpa was
Beheaded out of pride and
Indolence—: one might say,
And ignorance ruled… .

Note: don Francisco Pizarro

Cepeda the Sly
[Lima, Perú—l546 AD]

Cepeda the Sly—, judge
With two sides; one false,
One pride—both mixed with lies.

Antonio de Robles
[Cuzco, Perú—1547 AD]

He was a ‘…heartless wretch!’
A man who would not bend
No mans friend…

He met his prophetic fate
In defeat, on the streets
Swinging from a Cuzco tree!

General Quizquiz
[Cuzco--1533 AD]

The bravest of them all—
Was General Quizquiz
Inca General of Peru
Who harassed the Spanish
Conquistadors—
Thru and thru…

In Cuzco, He fought each day
His immortal enemies; and
With a storm, Quizquiz
In concert, butcher alive,
The conquistadors—
By and by… .

The Revenge of:
Titu-Atauchi
[1527-1533 AD]

Sancho de Cuellar
Court Clerk at Athualpa’s trial
Was once, one of thirteen, now
The only one… (no heroism in his blood)
Captured by the Inca prince
Titu-Atauchi—
(no longer mocked the Inca King…)
Now the scapegoat
For Athualpa’s killing…

Thus, this day he had no words
To worsen his own trail
(not like he did with the Inca King)
Thereupon, he was executed
By the prince, for testimony

Note: Titu-Atauchi, brother to the Inca king Atahualpa;
