The Cemetery Under the Bed
The cemetery under the bed opens at the first request
Once upon a time in childhood we were taught to make little men from matches
Today we are taught to burn
My mother says that life was better under the Soviet Union
Someday the future will come, but not now
Today we are taught the word "later"
