"Uncle Misha"

*Mikhail Kalashnikov, designer of the AK-47 assault rifle  said he was proud of his bronze bust installed in his native village of Kurya in the Siberian region of Altai . He said newlyweds bring flowers to the bust. " They whisper' Uncle Misha, wish us happiness and healthy kids," he said. "What other gun designer can boast of that?"


Uncle Misha .. whisper us .. the chatter of death
 we conquer but with the trigger .. matters nothing less
opposing people, their beliefs .. other than ours
 intimidation, murder .. now we hold the power
corpses piled high, martyr their silent sighs
 feign remorse, the world's watching, fabricate more lies
 
our enemies disappear, prison imposed, our fears
 rampant, subdue their opposition, eliminate, exterminate
rhetoric and accidents, instigate atrocities, severe  
 political views twisted to deceive, rationalize need
to remove freedom fighters termed fanatical foes
 not what we know, but whom we eliminate, unlike us.. greed
 
consumers, fraternal fights, radical rogues deemed
 terror by a dictator, annihilation ..hatred uncompromised  
innocents bleed, circle of retaliation guaranteed
 both sides extreme, both sides believe .. they're right
with hidden agendas, rumor internal strife
 use the media, greedy was free speech forbidden
 
no tolerance, contrived propaganda written  
 subject the populace, project their opulence, taste of
Kremlin's catastrophe coming, the world see's Sochi's  
 vulnerability, Putin's iron fist will not appease
political prisoners kept out of the public's eye  
 see all, know all, judge as if we are .. the hand of
god, he shall leave, as we shall lead the blind
 
 the oil tycoons are ours, take their blood, empty
their midas vaults .. accuse their muses of crime
 chaotic politics, subversive sympathies, monies
their coffers, minus their intrigues, promise offers
 oligarchs devouring, shifting power, greed instigates
crushed dissent, old news, Moscow troubled, the world views
 
corruption, empirical empire erupts one hate
 fear persuades, conjole the naïve .. know
thy corrupt cronies, subjugate the phonies  
 in parliaments pose of the people
power of wealth knows feeble fools
 past of Stalin insane, gulags of pain still
 
keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer
 congregate relatives and Bolsheviks we killed
remember the Communist Party?.. we're still here
 shades of Lenin the archaic hero unfulfilled
democratic dinosaur, or a free man's representative
 McCane's slant, Yanukovych's static stance with
Ukraine unite .. fires freeze in Kiev's Maiden's rhapsody
 
 ranting businessmen disguised, slanting paradise parade
of uniformed police in military marinade
 subversive shift, unreserved rift, perverse reserves
paramilitary protects the people?.. who's the leader to emerge?
 of old KGB, refugees of satellites in subterfuge
 
transparent in solidarity, freedom in reality  
 European trade, riling rubles in a tirade
gas and oil, gaffe recoil, mercenary sabotage
 political monopolies, tyrants and dictators
Premiere and presidents, candy tycoons represent
 opposing views, or protecting their wealth too
 
terrorism hunted through religion and provocateurs
 financial combat and electronic eaves-drops
chance to expose Putin's regime, puppet entrepreneurs
 camouflage or clarity? .. espionage or national security
Ukraine's democratic autonomy, Kiev submits
 mother Russia hungers for another power vacuum
 
allegations of piracy, take over,
 broke billionaires, make-over theme  
by the state, for the state, their schemes audacity
 fifth-teen billion and Putin ensures a puppet regime
socialist, republic, Molotov or Kalashnakov lunacy
 democratic or autocratic enclave .. slave to whom?
 
more technology doom, absorb or consume me
 cold wars and five stars, remnants of Soviet strong
remembered blocs, ad hoc rebels after-shocks  
 Russia's backyard the Chechnya scars, slaughtered shards
the North Caucasus another world, Baltic Sea and Sochi a whirlpool
 bus bombs and train stations, all we do is pray
