"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

 –

I use to dig the wetlands,

Yawning for your heart,

Although you taste sour,

I know what I love,

To give your ears a charm,

That I have come a man,

To appease you.

Hatred is my dead brother,

That I have cut off his ears to hear not our whispers.

Amäng I’ll feed my sheep on you,

I use to dig the ground,

Searching for lost love,

Although hoes on my hands hove,

I crave for them,

To rove.

Human heart is an evil,

Give me peace,

Because I water your glands,

I know my father often dig these lands,

This red land,

We dug them,

For years.
