Epidemic And Pandemic ~ Epidemija I Pandemija Poem by Jankovic Zoran

War is the epidemic empire of death.
When war is far away we watch TV,
switch to another tv channel
and we fall asleep peacefully.

When the war is near us
we look worriedly on tv
because we are beginning to fear
and we sleep restlessly.

The death pandemic is when
thousands of people are dying everywhere,
and other thousands of people are watching tv,
eat, drink and moan
that is endangered their human rights.

Man is constantly unhappy
until his accident doesn't knock on the door.
When that happens to him, only then,
he is happy because he is alive.

Epidemija i pandemija

Rat je empidemija smrti.
Kad je negdje rat gledamo tv,
prebacimo na drugi tv kanal
i zaspimo mirno.

Kad je rat u našoj blizini
mi gledamo zabrinuto u tv
jer počinjeno da se bojimo
i spavamo nemirno.

Pandemija smrti je kad
svuda umire hiljade ljudi,
a drugih hiljade ljudi gledaju tv,
jedu, piju i jadikuju da
su im ugrožena ljudska prava.

Čovjek je stalno nesrećan
sve dok mu nesreća
ne zakuca na vrata.
Kad mu se to desi, tek tada,
je sretan zato što je živ.
