pink revolution

PART 1 - ONCE UPON A TIME IN RUSSIA 

a socialistic dream visits me

halfway through the troubled day ..

in my naked brain ,

a serpent traces my vision 

to the blind medieval pasts..

anger creeps up the branches of my being 

my feet stop in their usual tracks..

swords drawn 

 in the whetting stone of a bearded german  jew, 

we travel through the snow decked steppes

blood of the serf splattered like polka dots.. 

through fire and steel , 

 we quench the thirst of the orphaned mother  of odessa staircase..

we revenge the maggot meal of the dead sailor.

and then

 we marched again ....

to the tsar's forbidden palace

PART 2- THE ANIMAL FARM

boxer moans in distress ..

muscles aflame with pain 

but for the heart that still trusts

and hopes in the fruits of a revolution ,

he is all but dead...

in sorrow , we follow

the black truck that takes him away..

then the other day the pigs dress up in suit and tie 

and made deals with  dirty humans

in the  round tables of the dead tsar...

and we morph into caricatures of an

orwellian novel..

 in its tirade  against the pig,

eric blair   sides with humans

and we know from his knowing smile..

he is on the side of the  "more equals"...

PART 3.. THE BASS GUITAR

and  we heard the guitar..

 its bass chords

 at the stroke of  mid night ..

the long bearded german jew 

turning in his grave..

the hoofs of boxer sounding in the distance..

they said  a new band has come to town 

and there is a concert

and then it rained , 

miraculously...

that summer night

 

Reviews

[vivekanand]

i seriously think this one deserves a review

[vivekanand]

this is based on the socialistic views of pink floyd- i think that background is important to be able to understand the band.. the concept for animals was taken from animal farm, though the latter was critical of socialism..
