There are red flags
Waiting outside Saint Petersburg
To bring it all to an end

Oh Beautiful
You could no more be a soldier
Than a white dove with fragile wings
However capable flying over the silver moon

A uniform on with its sense of gown
That gaze in your eyes the awe of stars
Perhaps seeing more now of what’s in store
Just beyond this sunny summer afternoon

The sound of guns mixed with hate
Cries of pain corpses in the street
The fall of grace into terror’s dominance
Murdered in a cellar at twenty-one

I read the story of this sad bit of history. It has stayed with me always.
