True Story

The following is a serious post

straight up this is what happened.

See the Americans staring at that tiny speck in the water

Seems our ship almost swamped this little tiny fishing boat of

eighteen people,

in the middle of the ocean,

no land in sight.

Eighteen people from the neighboring country of

Cuba!

Cubans- maybe not so happy to see the Coast Guard.

Americans staring at Cubans being “Rescued.”

We stayed by the fishing boat until the Coast Guard came

and asked us to leave.

In the end they get to go back to Cuba,

It is a sad story,

a true story.

That makes you wonder how desperate you would have to be?

To get in this boat,

with eighteen people,

to try to make it to America.
