Patria o muerte: poem for my Cuban tour guide

I thought Fidel Castro was immortal,

so when he died, I not believe the news.

Why God need such a man so notable?

I think he no muerto; es un mal ruse.

Americanos think Castro no good,

pero mi health care y schooling is free;

y no homelessness en mi neighborhood

además, es no illiteracy.

Sometimes it feels difficult in Cuba,

pero es human circunstancia.

So we dance salsa y drink sangría,

eat together y jugar música.

Yo me gusto Fidel. Castro is we:

fuerte, libre, y revolutionary.
