Voltairine
Hermit of Catherine
- (The Great?)
-was and is Hermitage.
Hermitage is a house
- (to many memories
-of artists, history.)
Among them is Voltaire
-Catherine's
-Friend and Confidant.
He was an exception to his time.
To confirm, one can ask Voltairine!
-She was named after him.
She witnessed injustice
-as did Che Guevara,
-to become a rebel:
- "Hell is a government! "
She saw the Haymarket.
He saw bombs, US jets.
No one is born rebel!
We rebel incorrect.
If out of sand is head!
Governments, abusers,
- "Fake News, Traitors, "
- (Overall, one percent,)
-feed others with fear
-as well as with fashions.
They write, and set the laws
-for defending themselves.
-Selflessly, unaware,
-we are forced;
-we accept and obey!
-Just few dare rebel…
What the hell!
They set codes.
They set modes.
They call us:
"Criminals, Terrorists! "
What the hell!
Roll sleeves and sit with
-Guevara, Malcolm X, Voltairine.
Dive into history…
Take U.S. of old days…
What the hell!
Then wasn't like today…
People sought Freedom
-of faith and religion,
-from the dictators for conscious…
So, they chose, and they wrote
-to the king "Third King George":
- "We eat of our crops,
-we repair old clothes,
-re-wear rags till we die,
-to defend our respect, dignity…
-to live in Free, Liberty…
-Take away your leash of
-modelling; for fashions."
This is how came to live USA.
India of Gandhi did the same.
USA of today, is the Old Britain.
-Then, World must close ties, embargo
-The White House, CIA, Pentagon;
-It is must to follow the Voltiarine…
Let's raise hell!
