Explanation:

March of Death

Bienvenido N. Santos (1911-1996) was a Filipino-American fiction, poetry and nonfiction writer. He was born and raised in Tondo, Manila on March 22, 1911. His family roots are originally from Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines. He lived in the United States for many years where he is widely credited as a pioneering Asian-American writer. March of Death is a poem that express the suffering of many Filipino in Bataan Death March by the time of Japanese occupation.

On the lines such as “No, you have not died; you cannot die; I have felt your prayer touch my heart as I walked the crowded streets of America…” portray images of hope when there was, as I imagine, so little left to hope for. In this line, I think Bienvenido Santos acknowledges the power of belief or, perhaps, Faith. It was as if he imagined the people in the death march beginning to lose hope, to lose the will to live and, with this, told himself that he had to hope when they no longer did; to believe that they would make it through alive; to keep his faith in the same God they prayed to. Again, the lines were beautiful contributors to the depiction of the amount of emotional suffering one went through knowing his or her loved ones were going through undeserved torture, possibly to the point of death.

It was sorrowful because the only interpretation I could make in the poem is that the author wrote this piece as elegy to a friend who died in the Bataan Death March. The lesson I learned in reading the March of death is that there is a rainbow always after the rain and is like a vast, deep gorge from which self-discovery emerges and learning what made me who I am today.
