IN EVERY LANGUAGE
In what language do children cry, In what language do they smile Crying has one meaning in every language Chinese, English, Turkish… Sniffling Maybe a little child-like. Crying your heart out, And sobbing Humanlike! My beautiful child In what language is to make on cry? Starting from the slaves and captives Up to the bards of our times… Eyes bound At interrogations, in torture houses? The bans that forbid Loving, thinking, working Living fittingly to the age Not only shall be removed from the constitutions Shall be expelled from dictionaries as well No good lies ,n forcing! Even if it’s abard, in his lines Forcing us to make people cry, It’s neither bart nor humanlike, not civilized
