Good Night Fidel Castro

Adieu Fidel Castrol! Adieu Castro! What a life, What an adventure! The west with its sophisticated propaganda could not kill you. In your prime they sought to assassinate you, yet the world counted on you! you were the evil they made us believed you were, yet Cuba had the best Medical facility in Latin America, you saved Maradona, when the west Could only but watch, patient Cubans reaped the benefit of socialism they fed us lies upon lies, invaded Cuban and planted division among Cubans yet you prevailed, the greatest Latin America Statesman of the 20 Century Rest on Fidel, Dance on in your victory, sleep on sweet Castro They labelled you a murderer, I call you a humanist, Second only to Madiba of Africa! Hugo Chavez is gone, Gaddafi is gone and gone now is Castro Hamadinejad has been asleep since he exited the political scene I dare say the world is getting boring! Vladimir Putin has challenged American hegemony to the best of his ability. May Mother Universe bless us with another soul who would teach how to endure and challenge oppression like you did Castro. Adieu Fidel, I bet the world will miss your statesmanship! Adieu. Love and tears reign as I send these words from Africa!
