Oh Lenin, Oh Trotsky, Oh Marx, Oh Stalin,
Give me in due time, I beseech you, a little gulag,
With the little dark buildings
piled up neatly near forests
And the loose barbed wire
and the rifles,
And the strong guards
lurking near camp walls,
And a pair of commissars
not too gentle,
And the overseers dropping in for a word or two in passing,
For a flip word, and to check how work is going

Sorry, I couldn't resist, I liked your phrase much.
