Revision 2017

the times of change were in my youth
vibrant protest against a challenge seen by many as real
songs of protest
the summer of love
ignored how stalin changed history 
the seeds of anarchy were planted

the solar eclipse has blocked out not only the sun
but the soul of history
no need to overcome misfortune 
if we disagree, eliminate the source
ignore how stalin changed history

now i try to see the past
but only through allowed revision 
if it is gone, no one will know
change the past, change the future
stalin would be proud
