Where To Now Generalissimo?

The General wavesFidel Castro

from Billboards

makes beautiful

revolutionary Statements

affirmatively, 50 years old

He peers from a smile

compassionate father

in the prime of his Life

forty years ago

 

Il Commandante is everywhere

immortalized, the Cuban god

And like a god, Distant

Faded, cannot help

in spite of his good ideas

 

Where to now General?

Will you tell us?

Do you Know?

 

We stand Suspended

in the communal world

created together

at your behest

Patria O Muerte

What will it be?

Now that you lie at the Edge

of death, unable to admit

where You may have erred

Forfeiting a gentler Transition

Into the Wild Wild West

 

Generalissimo?
