In 1902, Ernest H. Crosby wrote "Captain Jinks, Hero," a novel satirizing the war fever and the betrayal of the Cubans by the government. When we sailed from Tampa Bay, "Cuba Libre!"And our ships got under weigh, "Cuba Libre!" As we floated down the tide, Crowding to the steamer's side, You remember how we cried, "Cuba Libre!"When we spied the island shore, "Cuba Libre!"Then we shouted loud once more, "Cuba Libre!"As we sank Cervera's ships Where the southern sea wall dips, What again was on our lips? "Cuba Libre!"These are foreign word, you know- "Cuba Libre!"That we used so long ago; "Cuba Libre!"And in all the time between Such a lot of things we've seen, We've forgotten what they mean "Cuba Libre!"Let us ask the President, "Cuba Libre!"What that bit of Spanish meant, "Cuba Libre!"Ask McKinley, Root and Hay What on earth we meant to say, When we shouted night and day "Cuba Libre!"But alas! They will not speak "Cuba Libre!"For their memories are weak, "Cuba Libre!"If you have a lexicon, Borrowed from a Spanish don, Send it down to Washington, "Cuba Libre!"
Who would I like to meet? Now that’s an interesting question at hand. You mat ask your self someone famous maybe or maybe not these are just ordinary people with great talents that are known to all of us in the world. Not really interesting if you ask me and if you can imagine the possibilities that are endless. How about my Great Great Grand Child? That would be something. To have the chance to only admirer him or her for a split second. By leaping in time for a chance to embrace them. Now that would be something unbelievable in deed. But if that is possible I think I would love to go back then as well and know my father before my time, as he is a great and extraordinary man that threw out all his life has shown great passion in his life. Even though he was the youngest of the clan he care and supported his family as he grew up to be a man. But by the time he was a man he surpassed all his family’s expectations, never once looking back nor saying to him self that it was not possible. He would only push on to get what he wanted in life. Finding the woman of his Dreams to start and starting a family of his own in Cuba only to have to leave his history his homeland stripped from him and left behind because of a rebellion that over threw the government to change the face of his home land forever. But there was only one choice to for him it was to flee to a new land to save his family and start over as a proud American and not to return until the freedom is restored. WELL I GUESS IT WAS NOT A HARD QUESTION AT ALL BUT THINK ABOUT IT YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR SELF THAT SAME QUESTION AND BEAR IN MIND WHAT I SAID AT THE BEGINING.
