Waiting for the barbarians that are already here
“Hey, Sir... any news?What´s gonna happen?
What´s going on?”
“I have a feeling
(and it´s just a feeling, mind)
that dark days are coming...
I crossed
no border:
but the border
passed right through me”.
“Hey, Sir... any news?
What´s gonna happen?
What´s going on?”
“The barbarians are coming,
in their hordes and masses.
They´re close now,
I can feel it".
" Are they digging trenches?
Are they digging graves?
Frosty dewdrops in the meadows,
tremble to the quiet whispering of guns”.
“Hey, Sir... any news?
What´s gonna happen?
What´s going on?”
“Let´s wait a while,
we know nothing for sure.
It may be just the glare os sunlight,
nothing more…
The age-old law
is ages old.
Believe in the horizon,
keep the faith”.
