ASIREM

      You Must Act " Fihel Asirem"

      One morning you awake
      And discover that
      You have another day
      To live in poverty
      To add to the day before
      You discover that everything
      Has become confusing
      Everywhere you turn
      To make twenty
      There is still nineteen to go
      You seethe with fury
      Which path should you choose?
      Wake up, shake yourself
      Two times rather than once
      Until your worries
      Come to an end
      You who sit doing nothing
      You should neither sleep
      Nor relax
      And the day when you will be broke
      The water will replace
      The sauce on your plate
      Busy running here and there
      Tighten your belt one notch
      Try to keep count
      When you don't have a penny
      Then you will you be humbled
      And you head will touch the earth
      Like a crow soaring over canyons
      Who abandons is babies
      To anxiety and fear
      You cry and scream
      But still you get nothing to eat
      You cannot endure winter
      It's true that the cold can kill
      Without having the smallest of hopes
      You have only the right to tears
      You turn around
      The problem is everywhere
      In all directions
      There is no solution
      The end is already at the doorstep
      And tears cannot help
      If you worry, it will be in vain
      The facts are clear
      And they are unsassiable
      You have not found and will not find a way
      The poor will always suffer
      Because the rich have made off
      With the spoils
      From the morning
      They've takeb their share and more
      And you dare not hope for even a crumb
      Poor,oppressed,dreary
      Your poverty has been cruel
      Your pitcher is hopelessly empty
      Don't fool yourself
      Don't wait for a miracle
      "Act now!Resort to Revolution!"
      One morning you awake
      And discover that
      You have another day
      To live in poverty
      To add to the day before
      You discover that everything
      Has become confusing
      Everywhere you turn
      To make twenty
      There is still nineteen to go
      You seethe with fury
      But I must say to you
      "Act now!Resort to Revolution!"
