Heroines?
Today all talk a lot about Pussy Riot,
The girls from Russia that couldn’t keep quiet.
OK, I agree! It’s their right to fight
With the things they don’t like.
I can understand any strike.
Even when you have to take a gun,
But … sorry to say that,
I condemn their action as the dirtiest one.
They’ve become the world known heroines
Because of their dirty actions.
Dancing in masks in the church
It’s the moral lurch.
You can agree with me or not
But that horrible action was not done on the spot.
To my opinion it was just bought.
But tell me please: for what?
Whooping the slogans against Putin in a church
Looked like the devil’s search.
They certainly should be released from prison
As their action is not the reason
To be punished like that.
Their dirty action is a fact,
But… if we are a civilized society
And would like to be a mighty,
We have to forgive and then ignore
If we don’t like to repeat it any more.
