Adolf P. Shvedchikov – TRANSCEND Media Service

New Year firecrackers died down,
The wine glasses did not ring more,
The world again plays chess
And threatens again with its glow.
He is girded with a cartridge belt,
To beat or not to beat? Cursed questions.
How to live on? After all, the answer is not clear,
There is distrust, ice hummocks.
And silently filling the heart,
Once again, people are anxious,
Everyone knows well by experience,
What peace will not bring on the dish…
