Fidel Castro the iconic and unquestionably principled Hero of the 20th Century!

My tribute to Fidel Castro.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Your humanity, inspirational leadership, instinctive

and sympathetic alliance with the downtrodden,

the persistently marginalized, unwarrantedly

outcast, the intentionally made powerless,

the entirely ignored and the politically

and economically debarred; qualities

which unsparingly, cheerfully and

altruistically on your part were very much

personified in you heart, and now with

your sincerely bereaved passing will

permanently remain well known,

were always well received by

those that were recurrently

on the receiving end of

these numerous and

insidiously illegal

acts of habitual

injustice done

uncaringly

to them.

 

Acts of consummate barbarity malignantly unleashed

against their targeted victims in tandem with their

abusers’ demonic and vitriolic wrath directed

against you Fidel Castro because of who

and what you admirably were, and in

the most trustworthily and deeply

principled manner were totally,

committedly and unequivocally doing. But in

spite of all their unquestionably provoking,

numerous and quite criminally inspired

shenanigans you, Fidel Castro none

the less stalwartly, courageously

and selflessly carried on with

your profoundly socialist

and for you ceaselessly

principled process of

fully empowering

the intentionally

marginalized,

ignored and

neglected

masses.

 

And furthermore achieving the incredibly remarkable success

of brilliantly doing so in the hostile face of a most brutal,

spitefully malicious, constantly ongoing and obdurate,

vested interest calumny; venomous smears, outright

lies, propagandistic innuendos, harsh condemnations

and numerous attempted assassinations all aimed

specifically at getting rid of you Fidel Castro:

our charismatic, inspirational and still very

much alive hero and legend, while at the

same time ruthlessly endeavouring to overthrow your

socialist enterprise towards and our effective means

of achieving the political, social, economic and

cultural salvation we were jointly after. But

these evil morons failed spectacularly and

dejectedly in their despicable exercise

because the Cuban Nation and the

globally deprived masses who

were so hatefully disdained

had always, still do and

will always personally,

historically and most

endearingly regard

you, Fidel Castro

as our distinct

saviour and

champion.

Author’s Remarks:

The enduring legacy of a truly great man or woman isn’t solely evaluated or measured by what they said or even did to the worthy and justified applause of friends and avid supporters or come to that against the acerbic backdrop or the demeaning chagrin of virulent opponents and utterly narcissistic malcontents that detested them when such champions of the people were obviously alive, but rather, and most significantly so I honestly believe, by the inspirational impetus which that particular individual’s demonstrably principled, selfless and altruistic actions in relation to life generally and other human beings specifically have successfully and irrevocably been imbued in the hearts and minds of succeeding and future generations.

 

And you Comandante Fidel Castro unmistakably iconic, undistractedly and unambiguously true to what you always and genuinely believed, set out to do and ultimately achieved exemplify in every regard all the wholesome characteristics of a truly great and formidable man, as well as being an amazingly charismatic and a remarkably outstanding human being.

 

So now with your exceedingly outstanding and personally contributory work here on earth quite satisfactorily completed, rest in your very much deserved eternal peace my political mentor and likeminded Caribbean citizen, comfortingly and justifiably assured that what you yourself Fidel, Che and Raul did in Cuba and in the process enthusiastically inspired all right minded and highly conscionable revolutionaries globally against the distinctly vile evils of imperialism, colonialism, racism and indigenous peoples’ exploitation in their own countries to strikingly take cognizance of and follow, will undauntedly because of you enduringly continue.

 

“Ever onwards to Victory!”
