Branko Miljkovic - Poet's fate


For now, it's still a singing danger

An ember which named transparency a friendship

Melodical birds flee from fate

But they flee from words too


Words make mistakes, a song is created

There's no other way for someone to become a poet

The world is divided into those who began to sing

And those who remained slaves


But there comes a day of the great liberations

Songs will open like prison cells

Poets will be destroyed

Poems will be modified


When the people uncover the secret of greatness

Squares will remain without monuments

Some secrets known only by poets

Will be declared property of the people
