    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.

    -Langston Hughes langston-hughes

      I think somebody on the old subreddit once spoofed it and it stuck with me so being a community based around traditions I'd figure I'd share

      Lenin walks around the world,

      his hog swings side to side,

      it's unimaginably huge,

      it's almost breadloaf wide
