YouTube the melee in Sochi

2014, Cossack. Watch one

Hundred years after Bolsheviks

Drank to Molotov and masses

Bog save us!  Na Zdorovie!

The Cossacks are coming

Horsewhips for the crowds

Chest thumping the skies

To the ground, throwing Pussy

Riot, quelling her pink shouts

In Sochi or any other Russian

Toast or Potemkin Village

Necks fresh with Black Sea gold

Will soon swarm into Crimea’s hive

In a matter of empire or Crime

Odd man out in Gospodin’s P5

They’ll grind for the balaclavad

Mother in unflagged uniforms

Whipping international law, zapad

Vladimir’s Duma to the line
