Ominous Visit

Havana 
In the fifties Havana was a gigantic whorehouse For the Americans, 
and run by the Mafia and assorted businessmen , but down from
the mountain came Fidel Castro and created a principled society.
We didn’t like this Cuba should be a democracy that too often means 
the right of the rich to subjugate the poor the helpless and those in 
wheel chairs.  So he was a communist then he who built a free health 
this secular pope did this and made the best schools in the hemisphere 
in face of cruel sanction from USA. The Obama with a horde of investors
will be  bringing glass pearls and shiny promises.
I do not succumb to consumerism but retain their pride in being 
the country that won a fifty years old struggle against a bitter enemy
