PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Names Washed Away Long Ago: Names Washed Away Long Ago might be a title to be considered.

Not as of yet. But, once I: Not as of yet. But, once I can nail down a proper title, perhaps I will post it there, considering your response!

Appreciated, thank you.: To that regard, and with such encouragement, I gave it a shot, with a nod to your original thoughts.   (Currently Untitled)   The acid rainof their pollutedexistance erodestheir chiseled expressions   Living, breathingkilling tombstonesfalsely known as leaders,that just won't diethemselves   Though their nameand any honor in itwashed away a long time ago   They desperately tryto chisel at the stone that's leftBut it seems to methat murder and greedoften wears the face of death   Nadezhka's only ready for public in her dreamsThose who live in castles built of blood bricks cannot avoid the drops infiltrating their make up kits   Built them not mansions, neither surround with jail bars Give only houses of mirrors wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor leaving Cole's tapestry of self-destruction flooding all the halls   of their existence ever more

Oh, I definitely believe you: Oh, I definitely believe you are on to what was a significant part of it. What we now think of the Western aristocracy was not happy that the Czar family and their ruling companions weren't interested in the same global vision. Which made the West very happy to facilitate Lenin's ambitions (despite outward appearances), including the bloody slaughter of the Czar's family.   Ultimately, it seems that what might be called "beta versions" of modern intelligence agences in the West ensured Lenin's passage into Russia for the revolution in a barrel. The rise of a marxist adversary also helped crush labor movements in most Western nations, especially the United States, where labor was closely tied to socialism, which was somewhat closely tied to marxism. For one, I don't believe the facilitating of a rise of that adversary was a miscalculation or an accident.
