Kalahari ~ Kalahari Poem by Jankovic Zoran

You are like Kalahari desert:
Beautiful, attractive and unstable.
Always new or cruel.
Wild as the Africa you love.

I was looking for a guide to me
lead to the source of your water.
I watched naive and young people
from your kindergarten
how thirsty drink your dim water.

I turned horrified when I realized
that they drinking poison.

Kalahari

Ti si kao Kalahari:
Predivna, privlačna i nestalna.
Divlja kao Afrika koju voliš.
Uvijek si nova ali okrutna.

Tražio sam vodiča da me
odvede do izvora tvoje vode.
Gledao sam naivne i mlade ljude
iz tvog vrtića kako žedno
piju tvoju mutnu vodu.

Okrenuo sam se užasnut
kad sam shvatio da piju otrov.
