What Picture Did You Draw the Painter

Serene sky, scattered clouds reflecting 
on the waves of eternal sea 
Everywhere dark green as far as the two eyes can see 
What time did you draw the picture of peace? 
Infinite sky 
Scattered clouds in the waters 
of the serene sea 
Dark green as far as the two eyes can see 
What time did the painter draw
the picture of peace? 
What a horrible silence it is
inside this vastness of the world 
What a brutal silence has gripped
the throat of this planet 
The trees, creepers and herbs fade away into numbness. 
Life has everything but why there is 
no fascination, no speech? 
But I know the truth --word is almighty! 
Life flows through innumerable rhythms 
So dark blue! The sky is so dark blue. 
What's an infinite silence is as impassive as God! 
This is what is happening all over 
the world today 
Terrible waves of water, sea also soundless! 
Perhaps they're roaring somewhere 
Where echoes their noise? 
The world of capitalists bloodshed 
in the lure of cash 
What a sadness -silence in.His heart? 
Life is busy with worshiping false god
Mad after God-entertainment competition 
Where are you, the painter? What pictures are you drawing? ¦
