My only political poem this year . . .

One year, two years, three years, four
Residue and bones still cover the land
Gloom gives way to red buds blooming
Four, fours makes sixteen, thirty-two years
Dictator and serfs, but the serfs are crying
Gives extra rations, they wipe wet eyes dry

Haha! Probably because you could understand the picture. Thank you for reading my cryptic poem, it is very much appreciated.

I understand exactly what you are saying and couldn't agree more. We will now fulfill our destiny.

Yes, we will Ida, whatever the hell that might be, but I think it will be ugly.
