A man makes
bread.
A man eats bread.
There is also a third man.
One who neither bakes bread nor eats bread.
He only plays with bread.
I ask who is that third man?
The Parliament of my country is silent!

Democracy

They slogans on the walls
were writing
, I took hold of the walls of the pocket
, he wrote the slogan on my back
I had my back gave the chair
had to turn and stomach
, I was sick of indigestion me Kus was

I he caressed

and sent their opponents
to write so Aan- and courage,

neither I am carrying
no wall will
not go back
now, I’m considering.
