My Father

Never told me how to live

He lived his life

I watched him live it

My father.

Never said, it's time to sleep.

Instead he showed me stars and

told me how to touch them.

My father

He ran the house and

told me how to run the nation.

He never held me tight, when I cried

His silence spoke in thousand voices.

He bought me toys

and then cigarettes...

My first second-hand car

we pushed togther...

I sat on his shoulders

and held up the flaming torch

when the red sun slithered down

behind the Marxist stage

He was a communist

Yet taught me how to pray

He believed in revolution

But told me not to wait for it .

My father

He did not know how to dream

He learnt to dream through us.
