But, recognizing their shortcomings ("sometimes I am drunk") Yesenin also writes that his mission is not to sing girls, stars and the moon, but the name of Lenin and Marx. He denies the influence of heavenly powers on human society. People should build everything themselves on the ground, the poet believes, and for this purpose it is necessary to exert all the industrial power.
Yesenin did not accidentally give his workthe name "Stanza", a poem that clearly echoes Pushkin's "Stanzas". Yesenin was a fan of Pushkin's creativity, pinned flowers to his monument. But Esenin believed that stanzas - this is not a form of love lyrics, but a way to express one's civic position.
