Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame

he's defected from life

going gently

after all the avarice

assassinations

and insane interjections

a country in morning

with a new sun rising

maybe sunset will have a different crisp to it

maybe not,

but defectors from years of oppression

take out their aggression

on the lingering expression

of a dictator's grief

not felt,

but caused

and now the cause is to rebuild

meanwhile in far off lands

a clapping of hands

shouts of triumph---

the cold war instigator

is, himself, getting colder by the moment.

A towering figure to some; a dictator and a villain of the cold war to others. He achieved none of lasting good to his people who suffered and keep suffering from his regime. I'm glad the US is moving forward with normalization and good gestures towards the great people of Cuba. Hopefully good changes will come out of this after this dark cloud has passed...Excellent, sir Jacob...:).................
Here is a good cigar, enjoy>>>

For once dictators have left impressions in the history. But most of them have been stained with blood and while few of them were able to hypnotise their listeners and get followers, end was sad.
Thanks J, you have again come up with a masterpiece.
