Democracie. Poem by Michael Walker
Democracie.
Elle vient par un trou dans l'air,
de ces nuits dans la Place Tiananmen.
Elle vient de la sensation
qu'elle n'est pas exactement reelle,
ou qu'elle est reelle, mais elle n'est pas exactement la.
Des guerres contre le desordre,
des sirenes la nuit et le jour,
des feux des sans-abri,
des cendres des gais:
Democracie vient aux Etats-Unis.
-'Democracie'. Leonard Cohen.
This is a translation of the poem Democracy by Leonard Cohen

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I heard the prophetic song 'Democracy' on my DVD 'Leonard Cohen Live in London.'In 'Songwriters on Songwriting', Paul Zollo referred to 'Democracy' as 'stunning.' I do not think he was exaggerating.
