SOVEREIGN IN YOUR SHADOW

by

(For Mikhail S. Gorbachev)

Mankind, in many ways, owes you a debt,

If only for the visions you set free....

Khrushchev, returned, would growl displeasure, yet,

He inwardly would glow at what he'd see:

A lesser brute -- a Grander Soviet!

Incalculable forces heard your call.

Legions, in retrospect, will breathe your name.

States -- Sovereign in your Shadow -- great and small,

Grant that their futures brightened when you came.

Of course, the SICKLE might yet change the Fall.

Regardless of the fleeting fates Time brings,

Bolster your inner being, firm in your ways.

A song is endless while its singer sings....

Cherish --we praise! -- all your remaining days.

Hell holds no place ... Heaven's not just for Kings.

Each of your acts, however small your stage,

Ventures to free and lure man from his cage.
