Revolution’s price (Fidel’s story)

A hero or a dictator
nothing in between
A ruthless hangman
for his enemies
An inspiring guide
for his followers
A revolutionary leader
demanding free health care,
free education for his people
An economic breakdown
made an end to all
he fought for
Suffering, starvation
He couldn’t protect them anymore
They became what was his
greatest fear
Outcasts and fugitives
As the illness took control
he transformed into
an emaciated version of himself
At the same time, the land prospers anew
The price has been paid
