This is a poem I wrote recently. It's not brilliant poetry but it summarises my feelings about Federico's murder.
No Justice for Federico
No justice shown or mercy given
To Spain’s most gifted son.
Instead cold-blooded murder,
Took place that summer morning
In the name of the new Granada.
*
He died a martyr’s death,
But one he never sought.
Gentle poet, reluctant hero,
Murdered by Franco’s men,
In the name of the new Granada
