Notes Poem that references the all-powerful influence that Fidel Castro had upon his citizens, in Cuba. The speaker of the poem describes an interaction that he had with a Cuban pensioner, who asks whether the speaker of the poem has 'Jesus' in his own country. She then directly compares Castro with Jesus, due to his supposedly 'non-violent' nature.
