Comrade Commisar C'Roachmatov's Political Testament

"Far, far too little

"is the takeaway

"from a partying lickspittle

"now, and tomorrow like yesterday."

 

Written in the cell where they had kept

him briefly until Uncle Joe had stepped

on him, squashed like some crawling insect.

The Party, thus, disposes of its own elect.

Purges like this have their passing appeal

among the frigid, frozen who no longer feel

(many of whom found first careers in a

camp concentrated in Siberia).

 

Not one bit more compassionate, we are,

then when we shot the children of the czar.

 

Starward
