(Dedicated to the people of the Caucasus, which I visited many yaers ago)
The people are like their mountains,
beautiful, but untamed
implacable against those
who do not show them proper respect
They know that
to leave an insult or injury unavenged
serves only to invite more.
Silly people in the cities
may talk of dying for a cause
but a seious man knows that
if your cause is to triumph
you musy kill for it
In the end we all die
but what better way to die
than in defence of your home
sword in hand
surrounded by the bodies of you enemies
The only true immortality
is when children yet unborn
tell stories of your mighty deeds
The mountains and their people
once inspired Pushkin and Lermontov and Tolstoy
and now they inspire
Vladimir Putin
- a serious man
