Local Man Reaches Out to Castro

Published: July 16, 2010

West Africa - When a local man, merely known as “Johnny” saw in his town’s newspaper that Fidel Castro had been dumped online by Jo Kony, his heart bled for him. Feeling a strong spirit of compassion, he began a letter writing campaign to Cuba’s former leader. Johnny describes himself as a “simple man, with a simple job and simple feelings, who simply could not allow Castro to wallow in misery.”

“When I saw Castro in his white jump suit this week, I feel so bad for him,” Johnny said. “He used to always wear khaki up and down - a sign of someone who is ogbo...but since that wicked Kony took away his love and friendship, Castro the lion has bencome a lamb.”

Johnny is referring to Fidel Castro’s most recent outing in Havana on Monday. The Cuban communist has not been seen in public for the last 3 years, at least. Stooped with age and arthritis, he was photographed grinning and greeting some locals in the capital, presumably in a bid to appear more ‘positive’.

Anyway, hearing that Castro was without a friend, Johnny immediately took pen to paper and penned the following letter:

C-dawg, I saw on the television news that you are starting to make more public appear. Is it becos you need a new more friends? If so, then please accept my offer of friendship. I think human beings need to rediscover the lost art of leter writing. So i would likes to be your pen-pal. Would you likes to be mine? Oh, thanx God. I will send you ... See Moreleters often. Me, I have plenty pens becos I have not use the computer too much. Ok, sweetnees, I will wait patient in my bedroom for your leters. I am excite to be your new friend!

Johnny

Johnny says this will be the first of many letters he will write to the former president. Whether he writes back or not is of no consequence, he says.

“After all, do we not pray to Jesus Christ and hardly (or never) hear anything back in return?” he asks.“If Castro does not write me back, he is just doing what Jesus would do.”

Ahh…yes Johnny. Castro is just like Jesus.

No word yet on whether the Messiah is comfortable with this comparison.
