The Murmur of Material

In Gevgelia there is a man
Who once was and still is just a man 
Even back then when one ought to have been
Either a Cro or a Srb
A Mac or an Alb

So what?
Someone will say.

Big deal!
Others will add.

And in the ensuing
Murmur of dissonant voices
I will yet again fail to hear
Whether any of them really tried?

Žamor materijala

Žamor materijala

U Gevgeliji postoji čovjek
Koji je bio i ostao samo čovjek
Čak i onda kada se moralo biti
Srb il Hrv
Mak ili Alb

Pa šta onda
Reći će netko

Ništa lakše
Dodat će drugi

I u tom žamoru
Ja opet neću čuti
Je li to pokušao
I netko od njih
