My Cuba<br />
by Yanitza Torres<br />
Cuba, like a shiny precious pearl,<br />
All that you have, I love it,<br />
Your beautiful light blue beaches<br />
Like a sunny sky.<br />
Yours are the most beautiful beaches<br />
But you turn your waves into hungry lions<br />
Eating people trying for a better life<br />
They die in the darkness of the ocean.<br />
The children innocently drown,<br />
Parents lie<br />
And their souls fall down<br />
Like sand thrown into the water<br />
But they vanish forever.<br />
Cuba beaches, destroyed families<br />
People in pain<br />
Lifetime dreams killed<br />
They die with a broken dream.<br />
Cuba, the most beautiful island<br />
With her transparent water<br />
Swallowing dreamers<br />
Taking away lives yet,<br />
As clear as crystal<br />
As appealing as a spring day.
