Y O U A R E A G I M P Therefore I award you a bright and newly-polished "number nine"

2. for mentioning Oprah.

Out of all the rhymes to steal you take bitch and itch from some pink song?

some good lines, but the images seem to come out of nowhere, difficult to get a handle on

some nice lines, if thats what they are. the layout doesn't seem to add to the poem, I think it detracts

first verse could do with being a bit sharper. Other than that yes, seems to say something, what will be will be

I expect you must be some sort of free-spirit.

I especially find the last verse very moving. Here is a translation for anyone not so well versed in Russian as I: Wodka - Chicken Kiev, Gorbachev has a stupid looking head, The Duma - a provisional government. Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, The October revolution, Rasputin was an invincible monk, Tatar sauce is nice. Exiled to Siberia, All hail Tsar Nicholas II, The Kremlin, Trotsky, Mafia, Red Square. Alright then - Send him on the next flight back to Russia, In the diplomatic baaaagg!!! Obviously it loses something in the translation.

The nuance of ryhme, etc. are lost on me here, but the theme - a declaration of rights, of sorts, has merit. Admittedly, the cyrilic is interesting.
