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!"
Djura 1982
