The bell calls in the town
Where forebears cleared the shaded land
And brought high daylight down
To shine on field and trodden road.
I hear, but understand
Contrarily, and walk into the woods.
I leave labor and load,
Take up a different story
I keep an inventory
Of wonders and of uncommercial goods

The new counter-insurgency policy was instituted as Plan Lazo in 1962 and called for both military operations and civic action programs in violent areas. Following Yarborough's recommendations, the Colombian military recruited civilians into "civil defense" groups which worked alongside the military in its counter-insurgency campaign, as well as in civilian intelligence networks to gather information on guerrilla activity.[63][68][69] Doug Stokes argues that it was not until the early part of the 1980s that the Colombian government attempted to move away from the counterinsurgency strategy represented by Plan Lazo and Yarborough's 1962 recommendations.[70]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dvi6wxrinabv2mdmtf5rahk4/bafkreieqbqmzct3crya5tvtvy4ullahfvyjddo7srykgwcfox43pmve3iy)
