Fidel Castro, miserable
misfit,
Cuban history will
not absolve him.
Ill born and a thousand
times unfit,
Cuba and history
have already condmned him.
His murders, intolerable,
On the tugboat March
Thirteenth,
Were recorded and
remain indelible
In the conscience
of Cuba’s people.
Evil dictator , more
evil sovereign
His demise speeds
up the closer it approaches;
Men, women, and children,
innocent.
And a people suffering
the throes of his clutches
Claim a just and forthwith
end to the pain;
The end of him, bloody
tyrant of darkness.

In memory of the sinking of the tugboat "Trece de Marzo" (March Thirteenth), in the waters off the bay of Havana, which carried more than seventy Cubans who were fleeing to freedom, forty-two of whom died, among them twenty-one innocent children, who were slaughtered by thugs and assassins of Fidel Castro’s obscene tyranny.
