An America
\nSpeaking Latin
\nBuilds a wall around an island
\nAnd like a 54 year old chide
\nSo unbecoming
\nFool groan
\nWont a puerile of grate wisdom
\nAfter a long wile
\nSeeks counsel late
\nAnd all that
\nIt takes
\nTo get
\nOver throw
\nThe towel in
\nRazing red flags
\nAnd daze gone buy
\nAs sew frayed
\nOf hem us fear
\nGoing south
\nAmong nations
\nIn compassed
\nBy assembling freely
\nAnd recollecting those wanton amendments
\nTo won’s original constitution
\nPaying the bill of rights
\nForward
\nThinking
\nEquals
\nBegetting a pier
\nAs its a boat time
\nAnd plane simple
\nAs refreshing allays
\nSee cure
\nRegarding shared problems
\nOf their common wealth
\nAnd selves determined<\/p>\n
This poem goes out to awe of those who worked so many years to establish normal diplomatic relations between the United States of America and Cuba.\u00a0 The reopening of embassies after a 54 year hiatus is long overdue and a harbinger of more good things to come, such as the end of the embargo and a return of Guantanamo back to Cuba.\u00a0 The U.S. in its long and twisted non-diplomatic road found itself isolated from all of the other nations in the western hemisphere.\u00a0 Rather than isolating Cuba, the U.S. bullying of Cuba became a rallying cry for other nations to set rational diplomatic boundaries and conduct an intervention on the U.S., stubbornly addicted to knee-jerk anti-Cuban policies.\u00a0 While opening normal relations resonates with the liberal impulses of many Americans, it took the power play of such an intervention to get the U.S. to reform its ways.\u00a0 Sensible international policies can only be achieved if there is some balance of power among equally sovereign nations.\u00a0 Thank you to the rest of the nations in the western hemisphere for providing needed feedback and boundaries to bring some sense and sanity to U.S. policy toward Cuba.\u00a0 May the future bring increasing enlightenment and equality among the common wealth of nations.<\/p>\n
