PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

To the four sisters, and to their younger brother,

I apologize.  Too much preoccupied

with a coming medical procedure, I

failed to acknowledge your martyrdoms---murdered

by Bolshevik thugs:

to satisfy the demands for vengeance voiced

by the Partiya Lenina, ventriloquized---

then and since---by the stiff on display in the

mausoleum in Red Square.  And to the dour

horse-faced Bolshevik,

Krupskaya (who, too ugly to be even

a successful alley whore became, instead,

a revolutionary and Commisar

of education), did you---even just once---

regret these murders?

And you, Lenin, bulbous-headed, failed lawyer:

did the blood of these, and the multitudes of

Orthodox Christians murdered on your orders,

satisfy your lust to avenge the death of

your elder brother?

Starward
