Lost

By Sitok Srengenge

today
a wiseman
write a freedom lyrics
that he dreamed yesterday

tomorrow morning
he will sing
a freedom lyrics
that he wrote today

day after tomorrow
he wanted to paint freedom
which he sang the morning
that he wrote today
that he dreamed yesterday

The next day
he did not paint
not sing
do not write
even
not daydream

he lost
until
today

1997
