At Lenin's Tomb, Moscow, 2, Quatrain From An Undergrad History Major

You thought to impose, on the world, your Bolshevik order---

a vast hegemony (you hoped)  that no capital border

could limit; but now the Soviet Republics are as dead

and cold as you are, within that cube of stone, painted blood red:

as inert as your toppled, shattered statues, Ilyich---

you vengeful murderous bastard and damnable son of a bitch.
