Cuba Conundrum

Cuba ruled by Castro has been
A reminder to the U.S.
That a small player can still win
Against a big in game of chess.
So many pieces sacrificed,
But Cuba can claim a checkmate,
Not to be bullied or enticed
By neighbor, Uncle Sam the Great?
Unlike changing democracy,
Where powers in run hot and cold,
A dictatorship strategy
Is stay the same and power hold.

The Saudi king - dictator same,
Hot with the U.S. - a strange game.
