Death and Taxes

Raul is less and less about the great
And final, epic battle for the means
To handle all production. Though he leans
Decidedly to communism, fate
Is odd in its admission to reality,
The Cuban people having grown
Beyond the smaller needs that would intone
The name of Che Guevara.  The legality
Of making citizens the main
Recipient of duties, for to raise
The revenue for government and days
Ahead, is little better than the gain
Begotten from the older Cuban way,
But, still, a little better, should it stay.
