ode to Mr. Kalashnikov

When I was in Warsaw, Poland, I entered the Russian Embassy to ask for some information, and I was shocked at what I read in a window in the hall. It was a picture of Mr. Kalashnikov and his 'admirable' invention with some scenes of war. Mr. Kalashnikov was praised as a benefactor of mankind for his weapon which, it was written, defended and defends so many people from criminals. Nothing was written of when it is not used to defend but to attack innocent people.
