Remember, Remember, The 10th Of November...!

It was today that the people won -
and oppression lost! 
It was on this very date, yes, that 
the dictator abdicated - 
ushering in a new age 
for all the land...! 
It was on this day 
that hope shattered 
the dismal grey firmament 
that had permeated the atmosphere 
for decades of insufferable, 
inept and inane communism. 

Aye, it was today, 
November the 10th - 
back in 1989.

On this day, 24 years ago, the official start of the transition in Bulgaria was given, as Todor Zhivkov, the general secretary of the Bulgarian Communist Party, was discharged from his position.

And today, 
November the 10th,  2013 
we can hope anew. 

For, if communism is like a mythical hydra 
with a thousand heads 
- you slay one 
and ten more spring forth - 
Bulgaria does not lack sharp blades 
and fancy swords... 
Although, 
we all know that 
the pen is mightier...!

And a single word suffices:

#OSTAVKA! 
We can do it - again!

And, HEY, YO - NO, the colors of the flag are NOT upside down!
They're in the proper order of priorities required for the task at hand now! 
À Bon Entendeur, Salut!
Or rather... 
Zdrasti!
;-)
