Our Holidays
 
by Felix Gorelik


On holidays that we observe here
OCTOBER, our birthday, stands out.
If workers would only surge forward
We'd show all what it's all about.

If only once again we'd hear it,
—Our slogans in a thunderous roar—
"All power to the working people
The bourgeois, bankers we abhor."

How all reasoning was deadened
Is really hard to comprehend;
What took years of hard construction
Bankers took all free in the end.

For them its banks, hotels and factories
Casinos, gardens and green grass;
For us its unemployment, slavery
With death staring at us through glass.

Remember former celebrations?
Adorned with flowers, finery?
We looked ahead with expectations,
We were a force, as strong as can be

While celebrating we did not notice
How water flowed out bit by bit;
How the people were all changing,
How they built a large snake pit.

How the Party all got mildewed,
Replacing the Bolshevik thought.
How the snouts began appearing,
High office for themselves begot.

All peoples' reasoning they deadened
With every poison that they know;
A noose around October tightened
By Judas "leader' Gorbachev.

Will people everywhere accept it?
Will be like cattle always been?
I'm sure there'll be one more upheaval:
A great--colossal--SEVENTEEN!!!
