Melodies XLIX; Maximal Monocracy's Report To The 12th Party Congress, April, 1923

If life is only a random collection of sparks

that flash a bit, then sputter out in the dark's

utter and unspeakable totality;

then humanity must aspire to the condition

(and can sustain it with temporary precision)

to the perfect and perfecting society

that shimmered in the forward reaching vision

proclaimed to the Peoples by Engels and Marx.

This has been achieved.  No need to ask where and when?---in

the Peoples' Soviet Motherland, to which the whole world hearks

as we are guided by the wisdom of our great Comrade Lenin.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Maximal Monocracy's original speech was presented, of course, in prose.  I have enversified it from Zeph Zuilderzee's English translation of a Dutch transcript of the speech's highlights.
