Fidel Castro the Diablo's Death Christmas Again

Castro! the Diablo of Life succumbs to Death
Castro! the devil’s advocate
orchestrated hooligans,
and kept a destructive quest. 
Turned a civil nation  chaotic.
Death, destruction, and demoralizing tactics
fell tears through the land.
Millions of cries hit the skies over Cuba.
This a cry that would never stop
as even the dead keep crying
with endless shouts for mercy climbing to God .
Castro! the terrifying Diablo lassoed  hate 
into the children
and grew generations that altered a beautiful land.
A man with demonic eyes  
squeezed the air out of the lungs of Cuba.
Without chains Cubans were in chains, 
as he burnt their innocence, 
and strangles those who oppose,
A fear drilled deep in the land.
Even the dead finds no rest.
Castro the Diablo of lives even in death.

Very good write on a notorious figure. Some liked him, most didn't. When I think of Cuba, I think of Hemingway. Glad you liked my Home poem :)
