Stains of blood

Veridically they proclaimed their commitment,
To gibe capitalism.

Smother the bandicoot of exploitation
And behead the gamut of peace, of pleasure.

They, the exponents have
Exegesis of socialism as their monopoly.

They have killed innocence
Severed the heads of the hapless

The bourgeoisie kept them in prison
Years passed.

Martyres were born
The perpetrators have become the cynosure
They were welcomed out of prison.

These people were elected to rule us.
Law breakers rule us,
Teach us to obey law!
That is democracy....
