In this poem, Ruben Dario expresses his concern on the role of active violence towards his “naïve America”, where Indian blood is being spilt. Roosevelt is described as cultured and able, and opposes to Tolstoy, who was a philosopher & political thinker who believed there should be no violence when it comes to politics.

Ruben claims Roosevelt to be like a hunter, and that they will not give up to the United States until they are clutched in their iron claws, in other words, forced to do so. There are a number of complexities between Latin Americans and North Americans, which primarily range from their cultural & language barriers, as well as their violent histories & religion. Ruben portrays Roosevelt as a man who thinks he can achieve what he wishes. In the quote “You think life is a fire, that progress is an eruption, that the future is whenever your bullet strikes. No.”, Ruben claims that whatever Roosevelt’s target is, it is not their future or property.

Ruben Dario concludes with the statement that Roosevelt has it all except for God, foreshadowing that, as God is superior, he will never be able to convert or extortionate his “naïve America”, or the local Latin American people who were oppressed during their past.
