POETS
Where are you, poets?
You wizards?
Let’s color this sad world
And people with masks,
With our bright words
Cause’ these eyes, behind the masks,
Have already lost their shine and glow
As we do not breathe at all.
Go ahead, raise your voice
And wipe the mud from your shoes,
In the name of all those
Silent people in their homes,
Immersed in misery of
Every day and boring jobs.
Let’s spread the wings of our imagination
Upon this program-minded world
And preserve the scent of childhood
And first kisses,
Alive!
Let’s give love a chance to come back,
That divine joy of life,
Let’s pour from our poems
And let it flow around the streets
All over the world
And let it reach and touch
Every single lonely man in tears
And each woman in black.
