Lesson 8 logo is Father Las Casas

Question MC 8-1. Correct. Here is the text reference:

And all this happened with us.

We saw it,

we watched it

and with this mournful and sad fate

we were anguished.

In the roads lie broken spears;

our hair is in disarray.

The houses are roofless,

the walls are red with blood.

Worms swarm in the streets and plazas

and the walls are spattered with brains.

The waters are red, as if dyed,

and if we drink them, they are salt brine.

In our despair

we beat against the adobe walls

and all that is left of our inheritance

is a net of holes.

Our shields were our defense,

but shields cannot stop desolation.

We have eaten bread of flax seed,

we have chewed salty marsh grass,

and pieces of adobe, lizards, rats,

and dirt dust and even worms.
