By Chidi Anthony Opara
His frail fist
Clenched,
Dropped.
The deed of death
Done.
The wails,
The wreaths.
Memories of his fights
For their freedom
On their minds
Etched.
On the paths
Though which the ash passed
They waited
To bid farewell
To the one
Who lived in the jungle
So they will have freedom.
On their minds
A monument they erected.
On the monument they inscribed;
"To the memory of Fidel Castro".
