Colin applauded Vaclav
for filing a critique
of Cuba's human rights
until Vaclav got to the part
about how the embargo
should be lifted.

Colin demanded he take 
that part out.

I guess that's 
what Mike's stanza
is about.

Let's all join 
together and critique
the human rights records
of our friend's enemies.

If Castro wasn't such
a totalitarian dictator
we would have assassinated him
with a poisoned cigar
and installed a puppet
decades ago.

A less repressive regime,
like Batista
or Somoza
or Pinochet.

Whether to wall in
or wall out?
