Oh sure..sure. We’re hearing and reading about all this “support” in Europe for the Damas en Blanco..blah..blah.
But here’s where, to paraphrase Golden Earring, “The bullet MISSES the bone,” here’s the stuff that REALLY counts:
“The Cuba and Madrid Chambers of Commerce are meeting in Havana to boost economic and commercial relations among the two countries. Head of Cuban Chamber of Commerce Pedro Alvarez Borrego praised the progress made in the commercial exchange between Cuba and Spain.
As Keith Richards said: Talk (about Human Rights and such) is Cheap.
And as David Byrne said: Same as it ever was.
Unreal
Spain has never given up
the idea of re-possessing
so the Castros dangle the lure
of this impossible dream
on the end of a string
Perhaps that should have read:
Spain has never given up
the idea of re-possessing
the Cuban isle of paradise
they want to lie in hammocks
as colonial slaves rush to serve them.
So the Castros dangle the lure
of this impossible dream
on the end of a string
