When the Rumanian writer Stefan Baciu visited Cuba, Che Guevara invited him to be present at an execution. Baciu has made reference a few times to this macabre invitation, the last time in his poem:

Neither I have to accompany him to see how people are shot at the wall in la Cabaña.

I DO NOT SING TO CHE,

Neither I have sung to Stalin
with Che I spoke enough in Mexico,
and in Havana he invited me,
biting the cigar between the lips,
like inviting somebody to a drink in the bar, he asked
to accompany him to see how people are shot at the wall in la Cabaña.

I did not sung to Stalin;
let Neruda, Guillen and Cortazar sing to him;
they sing to Che (the singers of Stalin),

I sing to the youth of Czechoslovakia .

But the mass-executioner gets a standing ovation by the same people in the U.S who opposes capital punishment.

(Pope Francis also opposes capital punishment in U.s; but in Cuba, by kipping silent, he approved Castro’s infamous firing squads, even though hundreds of Catholics martyrs were executed by el Che).
