Comrade

I said comrade to all my colleagues and friends and all of my herds I thought and said and behaved all equally and fairly We ate together the same food, we slept together in the same bed And we read together the same books And of course we talked, discussed and debated the same topic With great interests and enthusiasm All together It was like my own family Nothing in me, I hide anything With all my comrades It was like one family: living together, dying together My family was their family and theirs were mine When I had no chance to dance There was no line of demarcation to divide Until we fought together Revolted together in all activities We took similar and equal responsibility When there was no opportunity For justice, equality and humanity But until we found our unexpected dream come true I do not know why I changed From day one of this dream fulfilled From day one I was out of the nature I changed, he changed and they changed We all changed together No more comrades No more similarities No same bed or breakfast No same treatment or meeting No more common issues Among us, dear comrades of the past We are separated like a divorced couple My wife and children became my own comrades No more other comrades Who fought together, lived together and ate together For so many years But now I forgot the bygone days But I have my own comrades My own coterie of comrades Became my closest of the close friends Close comrades are better Than far away comrades Whatever others say about me And my comrades, I do not care As all comrades cannot be equal Some are certainly more equal than far away Comrades of different caste, colour, and culture In this age and time of opportunity I know the importance of my wife, my daughter and my son And my close relatives and donors and slave like supporters My purpose is fulfilled My dream achieved So no more comrades unless I need Your help and support and your backing If I start to fall down from my post and power My dear comrades My dear comrades!
