It started in Russia, years ago,

When society seemed to lose its flow.

They were involved in a horrific war

That was starting to cause way too much gore.

The workers and soldiers made a covenant

That they would overthrow the government.

To heal their country's suffering scar, 

They decided to get rid of the terrible czar.

It all started on March the eighth,

But it took a great amount of faith.

Many shoes created a beat

As the protesters took to marching the street.

The protesters, who were very mad,

Were on their way to Petrograd.

They came from everywhere, all around

Chanting, "Let's remove the crown!"

The czar wanted to end this dispute,

So he ordered the police to shoot, shoot, shoot.

As they began to open fire

Their situation became quite dire.

Soon their protest took a turn for the worse

Some of the wounded would need to be nursed.

Every street and alley was painted bright red

By all the new blood that had been shed.

But the very next day they were surprised

They couldn’t make sense of the change of 

tides

The police had seemed to join their side.

Had they finally seen eye to eye?

The men who had shot at them the day before

Now could help them settle the score.

They could ultimately get the job done

and leave the royal family stunned.

On that day they were victorious

Which gave them a feeling all so glorious.

They had the strong and mighty nerve

to fight for what they knew they deserved.

Everything that they had fought so hard for

was definitely worth the unimaginable chore.

The protesters heartily celebrated

for now they had been liberated.

That was the end of the czarist government

and now there was room for more improvement.

The royal family gave up their power

and traded it for a life quite sour.

Living among the people was not how they expected.

They could not believe how they were disrespected.

The royals thought this was where they would stay,

but that’s not how Russians like to play.

During that long and blistering summer,

Came quite the depressing and sorrowful 

bummer.

The family took one last picture before 

They were murdered and blood had stained the 

floor.

The people who did this were gaining power

More and more by each passing hour.

But what was about to happen next

Could only become much more complex.

Later that fall, in a chilling November,

Things kept fueling the burning embers.

Three groups were struggling for authority

Each with very different priorities.

Bolsheviks take over the government,

But will not tolerate anyone to think different.

The remainder of Russia doesn’t agree with 

this

So everything once more goes amiss.
