Cuba And My Neighbors



Being that I am from Canada, I can freely travel to Cuba as I please.  I have become integrated in a strange sort of way and understand this place as much as it will let me. 
I would like to hear what Jay-Z's visit with his wife was all about on an HBO special;
Did you see the smile on her face, as she strolled through the streets of Havana;
The President made a crack at that dinner;
"Now I have to deal with Jay-Z going to Cuba,"
The shaking of the hands at that very important humans celebration;
Of a life that was lived to its fullest.
The 2nd last time I was on the Island they had just begun construction on the airport in Varedero;
Around a year later, I came back and the airspace had been logistically restructured;
Even in its very primitive time, the bags were quick;
The strip couldn't handle many planes at once;
Security is thorough, one scan at a time;
This port is now much better equipped, and that much more secure then before;
This being said, you will be very happy with the infrastructure; and organisation of these people.
They have been speaking English with Canadians for a while, practicing;
This being said, if you want big band, afro Cuban music, music period, latin rap, reggaeton, salsa, jazz;
Get some Santero for a buck; 25 primo Cigars for 2 bucks, find a carriage and dive down a rabbit hole.
The relationship between my beautiful neighbors and the Cubans is very important to the genuine energy of this world. 
It shouldn't always be about money, it is really about what is right and wrong;
Just the mixing of young minds in the medical field, how does the Island produce doctors the way they do.  What if it snowed in Cuba, who would be equipped to help them most efficiently in that time of need.
Their is an old yellow school bus that drives around Varedero; in red painting it has words of peace with the US, good energy.  I am white, have paddled deep down the Cuban Congo, I was loaded on Rum a lot, and had much cash, bling, plastic, But most importantly respect.
For once you are on The Island you are on their soil, that airport can be a jungle; trust me.
I am one of the most exclusive Travel tours in this World, The Rabbit Hole.
Cuba is going to be opening up, it has to, Why the hell not by Christmas;
We as humans have made a lot of mistakes in the past, Learn, Leave them there and work together for a better future.
Knowing what I know, I would be some upset if I was a common man on either piece of Land; Knowing how many untamed moment I missed out on.
