Lenin Rests

By Walter Jones

Lenin is our captain

Carve his name with pride

Chiselled deep into a wall

By the many who have died.

Wake up! Wake up Vlad!

You are too long dead

Your tomb is now a stock exchange

And Yeltsin is in your bed.

The wall wears your name

Graffiti shrill and clear

Only by destroying it

Bolshevik

By

Bolshevik

Will it disappear.
