I write poems
they don’t get published
but they will
I’m waiting for a letter with good news
maybe it will arrive the day I die
but it will come for sure
the world’s not run by governments or money
but people rule
a hundred years from now
maybe
but it will be for sure
translated by Randy Blasing & Nutlu Konuk
Lovely poem.
That said, I’m neck deep in the French Revolution right now and I’ve got to say I’m not particularly enthused about the people ruling.
Well you can say that about most periods in history. Golden Ages in any culture never lasted very long.
