The Birth and Death of the USSR
A beautiful field of green full of commotion
A wall borders the field
The wall is an eye sore
A wall that isn’t all that tall
The residents outside of the beautiful field regret putting it up
The wall’s job is to keep the beautiful field of green from spreading
There was a time when the wall wasn’t there
The animals living beyond the field were the bears and the pigs
And the mighty eagle lives inside
The bears and pigs had always been separated from the eagle
Ever since she hatched the eagle had a felt good times
She broke free of her egg and she has flourished
The eagle is much younger than the pigs and bears
The bears and the pigs use to be controlled by the big cats
The cats would taunt and tease the bears and pigs
The cats were despotic in their rule over the bears and pigs
The cats ruled over the bears and pigs with this tyranny for centuries
The Kingdom of Cats was prosperous
They controlled fields nearly as beautiful as eagle’s field
But the bears and pigs didn’t reap these beautiful fields
The bears and the pigs never had full meals
The bears and the pigs did not live good lives
The cats ruled until the bears and pigs had decided that they had had enough
They attacked all the cats at the same time throughout the cat kingdom
There were too many bears and pigs for the cats
At first the cats had tried to go on the offensive against the bears and pigs
But that was of no use
Next the Cats tried to defend themselves while trying to keep hold of their possessions
But that was of no use
Finally the cats tried to escape the bears and pigs
But they were all caught by the bears and the pigs
The bears and pigs got rid of the cats in various ways, but they usually killed them
After the revolt the bears and pigs had to figure out what to do next
Then along came a man who sold hammers and sickles
The man told the bears and pigs a wonderful way of ruling themselves
He told them they should work together
He told them to make rules and laws to govern themselves
They made rules and laws
The bears and the pigs bought some hammers and some sickles
They could finally farm and live their lives again
They had decent lives after that hammer and sickle man
Their lives were fine until a small group of pigs realized something
The pigs realized that they could manage the bears, and the bears could do the hard work
The pigs told the bears their idea and the bears thought it was only logical
Bears are stronger than pigs and pigs are smarter than bears
The pigs worked behind desks and the bears out in the fields
Later the pigs had another idea, overwork the bears
At this time the bears were not aware of the pigs’ plans
At this time the pigs were trying to control everything the bears did
The bears no longer had any say in the government
The pigs controlled everything
Next the pigs started docking all of the bears’ pay
But the bears didn’t notice, they were too busy working
After a while the bears did seem to notice and they got a little angry
Most of the bears were getting tired of the pigs
But one bear, named Grizzel, told the other bears they should work harder to get more money
It seemed the pigs were docking more and more of the bears’ pay everyday
Eagle saw what was happening
Eagle didn’t like what she was seeing
Eagle had been raised to think that everyone should have the same opportunity
She saw how bears didn’t have any opportunity
She flew over to talk to the pigs
The pigs just tossed her out of their kingdom
The pigs then ordered the bears to build that ugly wall
The wall was not supposed to keep eagle contained, it was to keep her ideas contained
If the bears heard eagle’s ideas, they would want to get rid of the pigs
The pigs at this time were getting fat and wanted to stay that way
The wall was put up in a rather quick fashion
The pigs started telling the bears that eagle was a bad person
The bears continued to believe everything the pigs told them
Eagle went for a fly one day to checkup on her kingdom
She peered over the fence the bears built and saw something sad
She saw the dying fields, the dry pastures, the weak bears and most importantly the fat pigs
Eagle couldn’t stand there and not help the bears.
She needed to help the bears.
She got rocks, branches and other things
She flew close to the ground to avoid being seen by the pig overseers
She gave the bears these simple things
The bears minds became filled with memories of better days
The bears decided enough was enough, they wanted to be free from the pigs
They wanted to prosper once again
They wanted to be like eagle, and be free, and prosper at the same time
Bears are much stronger than pigs
The bears attacked the pigs
They attacked anything and everything that was a pig or reminded them of the pigs
They attacked the wall
They attacked with such fury that the wall stood no chance
They wanted some of eagle’s ideas
They wanted what was behind the wall, prosperity
Bang, Smash they get there way in
The bears destroyed the pigs
The bears were welcomed by eagle
The bears had fought twice for their freedom
The bears could now prosper without the pigs hampering their efforts
They could now use their lands and build something beautiful like eagle had.
