Song to the Working Class

No communism exists on this earth
But in papers. Marx and Engels are fooled
Dictators inherit power by birth
Truth eternal? Rulers, those being ruled!

Still monarchs cling for life long term by votes!
Reflect, dear workers, on this servitude!
Ye ousted kings, replaced some posh despots
Who 'rule' you with a scornful attitude.
Where is freedom? Hunger, just a scare crow,
Frightens you to surrender your birthright,
Not allowing to lift even eyebrow
Nor to grumble, groan, nor to observe rite.

There won't be in a true communist world
Rich or poor: equality must reign
Is it there? Tell, now which country does hold
Record billionaires? Is that a good sign?
Why should become slaves to flag scarlet
And praise, 'let Brutus be the next Caesar?'
Why the pain of upheaval you forget
And sing Hosanna to the worst oppressor?
