Danny

By Jesús Manuel Mena Garza

I had a friend who loved Hugo Chavez
Fidel Castro

Beyond reproach

Cuba and Venezuela

A dream state

Danny flew there

Said they were the greatest

Capturing

Videos, photographs

Audio tracks

Loved socialism

But

Privileged

Mill Valley, Santa Monica, 

Taos, New York, 

Mexico City and Santiago

Homes

Harvard Think Tank

Upper class reunion chit chat

Lefty with cash

Expensive habits

Around the world he went

Again

Spent all his money

Saved by his wife

Never laboring
Always traveling
Giving advice

Insulated

Amazing to see
How he was

Believing what he did

Socialist!

Spending

Eating Sushi

A big steak

Anytime

Fly to London
Paris, Tokyo, Mumbai
Buenos Aires
New York

Where ever he wanted

Often

Without a care

Still worried about Fidel and Hugo
