Branko Miljkovic - Everyone will write poetry

 The dream is an ancient and forgotten truth

Which no one can check

Now strangeness sings like sea and worry

The East is west of the West

Fake movement is the fastest one

Now sing wisdom and the birds of my neglected sickness

A flower between ashes and fragrance

Those who refuse to live through love

And lovers who turn back time

A garden whose scents the ground doesn't recognize

And a ground which stays loyal to death

Because this world isn't the Sun's only concern


But one day

Where the heart was, there'll be sun

And there won't be such words in the human language

Which the song will disown

Everyone will write poetry

The truth will be present in all words

On the places where the song is the prettiest

The one who sang first will step back

Leaving the song to others

I accept the great thought of the future poets:

An unhappy man can't be a poet

I accept the judgement of the crowd which started to sing:

He who doesn't listen to the song, shall listen to the storm


But:

Will freedom be able to sing

Like slaves sang of it?
