Vladimir Lenin Poems | Examples

The Drumbeat and the March

  
      For a century and more
        the socialist drumbeat and march
      Workers of the world unite
        no more capitalist oligarchs

      Bloody Soviet-style communism under Vladimir Lenin
        gave way to mass murderer, Iosif Stalin
      The Weimar Republic fell before ‘enlightened socialism’
         swiftly changing to jack-booted Nazi fascism       

      Cuba’s revolution, North Korea’s, the Viet Cong’s
         O, Civilization, where has the world gone wrong
       Today we see misery in Venezuela, Pakistan and Iran
          Repeating the tragedy of China’s Mao Zedong

       For a century and more, the socialist drumbeat and march
          food deserts abounding, humanity’s throats dry and parched
