(Extract from “Eleanor Rigby II”)

The poem written on the ancient style of Kyrgyz poetry, glorifying natural phenomena’s, blesses and treasures like Sun, an abundance of fresh water, beautiful landscapes in Ala-Too (another name of Kyrgyzstan, the central part of Central Asia, and such human qualities as Wiseness, Kindness, Honesty. Hospitality.

The great Kyrgyz poet of XIX century Jenijok very well-known with the poem (ode) “Mountain River”, another of his famous contemporaries – poet Barpy was well known as the creator great odes to Love, Friendship, Honesty, Justice, and the poet-botanist Chop akyn (the poet of grasses) sang exceptionally about the richness of flora of Ala-Too. As mentioned his friend Jenijok in one poem, Chop akyn created in poetic form the idiosyncratic encyclopedia, which carefully labeled, classified about 400 mountain vegetables and flowers which might be useful for cure great number of various illnesses.

So I decided too, on the shoulders of my great predecessors, make own step ahead and singing about the really worthy phenomena in my epoch and time, believed firmly that Democracy and its values and laws and receipts for implementing might be featured as an extra valuable thing in our world. Even though our Kyrgyzstan could not able to do real step toward Democracy in the past three decades of Independence, nevertheless our experiences, hopes, up and downs, our inspirations, and bitter regrets had not been lost and useless and, maybe, soon we or our next generation will able to get a much better result.

America, you are really the wise nation and state

who knew from the very beginning about the right way

for your citizens

and established the self-governing principles

overfilled with various richness and achievements

as the great effect from the good historical decision and distinctness.

You more than anyone else helped to suffer world.

Yes, your wealth and resources are limitless

and at the same time, you are modestly looking,

and your governor and millionaires

never lost their head from their power and wealth,

and your presidents never changed into the bad and cursed guys

never stole the common properties

and after resigning or toppling

never left their countries with billions,

which were stolen from nations and put secretly in Switzerland’s banks.

America, you are a really wise and good nation

that knows all the secrets of powerful and skillful government

if your leaders make mistakes, you quickly correct them

on the various levels of your great country.

That’s why you have never lost the right direction and hopes,

that so often happened with the other unhappy countries.

which have been totally dependent on the will of their leaders,

that ordinarily used it to do what they wanted

and forgot completely about quality service and competence,

about people’s will, fate, life and credence

and ended badly, cursed by them and history.

So I tell you long live, America,

governed by the people since the XYIII century.

Although you have made mistakes, misleading by bad politics

with bad conceptions and wrong ideas sometimes,

nevertheless, this nature and spirit of a great nation

have grown and nurtured in freedom

recovered rapidly and found the exact way for goodness,

risen again and again as immortal Phoenix

in better shape, holistic and healthy lifestyle then it was before the crisis.

That is the magic of democracy and freedom

which could not get too many others countries

that are suffering still from strong leaders

for hundreds and thousands of years

and proceeds to hope for

a new Big Brother and Stalin and Lenin

for the new cycle of repression, violence, murders, and lethargies.

So if you want prosperity for Kyrgyzstan,

then at first put yourself as close as possible to America,

this chap has strong immunity against slave’s diseases

and you starting to be healthier and wealthier

from this good relation and friendship,

and, look, to one interesting feature:

all the people coming from the West resemble Americans

and they all look as Martian or people from future

often simple and honest as many good Kyrgyz

came down from the big and fresh mountains

who also possible coming from future,

looking very simple and naive in that cruel reality

created by communists, dictators, and fundamentalists.

That’s why long live, America

the greatest country

almost three hundred years

ruled by the invisible hand of freedom,

those people, women, children, dogs and cats

so long lived with the comforts and freedom

that looks helplessly and hopeless

when tossed out of your great aquarium, America.

And when a man from outside comes to America

without any familiarity

with the West’s achievements and beauties

he will be completely gobsmacked by what have seen.

O yes, you are really great, America,

you know how to harness the ruling powers

and press and humiliate them

for the sake of efficiency, diligence, and competence,

you know how to speedily change rotten governors

you constantly drifted from bad to good,

from imperfect to perfect,

and therein lies your greatness, America.

Nay, our rulers could not reach and assess

all yours excellences and possibilities

even if you have tried to do all for our benefit,

supporting our independence,

weighing up our geopolitics and strength

in the rotten kleptocratic frame

and nurturing us with the clean milk of honesty and justice,

alas, we could not appreciate freedom,

and get out from the prison, trap, and post-soviet yoke

carefully prepared by Russian dominance.

Nevertheless, the Victory in your side, America,

those who know the art of rotations of men in power

and supports human values and achievements in advance

will never be conquered

by authoritative and despotic countries.

All the outfitted and outdated models of societies sooner or later crumbled and vanished

but even God seems to like you, America.

That’s why, please, get out from power

as fast as possible

Putin, Nazarbaev, Lukashenko,

let your people get the historic chance for a better life

under elected and controlled governments.

Please, get out away

and stop to downgrade, suppress and marginalize

all the “newborn states” who came to power with the people desires,

like Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan

inspired by eternally beamed ideas of Freedom and Democracy.

Your time has run out,

please, get away,

before people revolt and will do that

with the much blood and sacrifice.
