Sandalistas
You posed yourselves (in radical English)
with fellow-travelers on the barricades.
recalling bygone barrio fusillades
though you speak only red diaper Spanish…
Beholding the party cooperative
where gringo tourists are shown Cuban truth,
you cherished the lies of your leftist youth,
half-informed, predictably progressive.
Stuffed full of radicalized rice and beans,
flatulent, dreaming of ignoble Che
you charmed the sultry proletarian queens.
In your new Guayabera, bonafide,
you hailed the revolutionary day;
pale thorn in the suffering People’s side…

Sandalistas really exist !
There are still a few around . . .
Real Red Nice News
Patria y Vida
Move along.
This has nothing to do
with Marxism . . .
The good people of Cuba
are simply fed up
with not having access
to Netflix
legal marijuana
and transgender bathrooms.
