    I’m not a writer so I won’t embarrass myself. But I’ll post my favourite related poem instead by Langston Hughes who should need no introduction, if that’s a nono here I apologise but I do enjoy a bit of poetry.

    Lenin walks around the world.

    Frontiers cannot bar him.

    Neither barracks nor barricades impede.

    Nor does barbed wire scar him.

    Lenin walks around the world.

    Black, brown, and white receive him.

    Language is no barrier.

    The strangest tongues believe him.

    Lenin walks around the world.

    The sun sets like a scar.

    Between the darkness and the dawn

    There rises a red star.
