The philosophy is a bit fascist,
cruel, and it cuts the ear.
Maybe crude, blunt, and muzhik-like,
it will surely outrage someone’s spirit.

You cannot hide your eyes from the truth,
it will go in behind the eyelids.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER YOU DIE,
and where will the soul end up?

Conscience will call you to the trenches,
or throw you across the ocean.
I propose: interrogate yourself,
did you choose the truth, or perhaps a lie?
