Optimism by Nazim Hikmet

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
