A Tribute To The Man: Fidel Castro.

Desire to set his own free
he pursed with vigor,
revolutionary route both in
action and in mind,
he took,
reactionary government,
he brought down,
M-26-7
"Movimiento 26 de Julio,"
people-oriented-movement,
platform he created to set
Cubans free.

When all doors of help
from immediate neighbors
closed,
inward he looked,
challenged everyone to
bring their best,
tasked people of
extra-ordinary abilities
to perform wonders from
a seemingly impossible situation.

Dry land he turned wetland,
with less-Cubans did more,
just with a little,
Cubans built a nation,
turned a lightning rod to the
world of mankind.

Education he gave every
Cuban,
quality medical care
Cubans enjoyed,
Cancer-Cuba brought
under control-
mother-to-child HIV
transmission-Cubans stopped,
great immunology community,
Cuba built.

Revolution he led into far lands,
without bow and arrow,
he touched hearts,
instead of giving guns
medical experts and
medicines he sent out,
rather than sending undercover
secret agents of destabilization,
builders and helpers,
he exported to areas of need.

Rather than fueling oppositions,
or creating guerrillas
any land he visited,
United fronts he created
for oppressed to be liberated.

Rather than planning coup ‘de tat,
assassination in foreign lands,
trees of liberty and freedom,
he planted.

"Let my people go" his daily song
to South African apartheid lords,
unchain Namibia,
his message to west,
leave Angola to Angolans,
prayer he offered daily;
let sunrise and set in Mozambique,
may peace reign in Botswana,
sermons he preached every day.

Fear he became to the eagle,
his presence always terrify stallion,
even as an island,
Mesopotamia fear him,
landlocked and ocean
bounded lands adulate him.

As you succumb to death,
price-every mortal will pay,
mankind will never forget
you.
Let the world say:
Adieu Fidel Castro.
