Truth And A Lie ~ Istina I Laž Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Truth and Lie

Truth and Lie are a couple in love
who can live a parallel life.

Their ships can go a long way
to sail the same sea
but if they get closer
it will shipwreck
because they are different:

Truth can never be revenge,
it is merely a warning or a lesson;
a Lie is a stick for the spiritually disabled
by which they heal their vanity.

Istina i Laž

Istina i Laž su ljubavni par
koji može da živi paralelni život.

Njihovi brodovi mogu dugo
da plove istim morem
ali ako se približe
desiće se brodolom
zato što su različiti:

Istina nikad ne može biti osveta,
ona je samo opomena ili pouka;
a Laž je štap za duhovne invalide
pomoću kojeg oni liječe svoju sujetu.
