to scare the flock
that represses the dictator
(the one of the repressive body).
I speak of an unjust law.
The regime that scares
what the people think and feel
he’s going to arrest people
just for a “like”.
“I like” on social networks,
leave a powerful message.
and their generals think,
his thugs, his prosecutors
that will have to be penalized
repress and punish
all virtual interaction
who criticizes the mayoral
Let’s talk about the content
pathetic of that law
that terrifies the entire batey
of fury and sound.
Let’s talk pathos!
Pioneers: Communism
he no longer hides his mask.
That led us to the abyss.
To whoever makes a comment
in some social network
against the general
his prison regime
or our wine so sour
(it doesn’t matter if it’s our wine),
the murderous regime
He’s going to imprison you
Who publishes text, note,
report, editorial…
to criticize the General
who rationed the compote
to the restless population,
will end up in the ditch
Or you’ll go to prison
because that Revolution
In Cuba, the dynasty
who rules in his palace
wants cyberspace
where citizenship
stands up to his tyranny
don’t go viral
to insult the General,
to his repressive body,
If you like the content
that offers 14ymedio,
because knowledge is remedy
who opposes nonsense
that the Party has imposed on us
remember: there will be no mercy
against whoever says or publishes
something against the Cacique

Coda: I leave you this interview I made Jorge de Armas and post hypermedia where I talk about “Ideological Diversionism” —this weekly column— and explore my obsession with Cuba, the décimas and other chronic pains and pleasures.
It concludes with my reading of a unusual text: a string of 160 eight syllables that do not rhyme. That you don’t always have to rhyme. The forced foot gave it to me “The Cuban Point”a beautiful poem by Legna Rodríguez Iglesias.
