  7. The last days of the Aztecs In the roads lie the broken spears…. Without roofs are the houses, And red are their walls with blood. Maggots swarm in the streets and squares… The waters have turned crimson, as if they were dyed… But shields could not hold back the desolation We have eaten… Lumps of adobe, Soil turned to dust and even the worms.
