Why do I need a family name? Poem by Vlado Martek

Why do I need a family name?



Why do I need a family name?
To familiarise and not to have a family.
Why do I need poetry?
Summer stops me short, I'm everywhere.
Why do I need a family name,
a wallet full of pathetic agreements.
So pathetic are those who aspire.
And an institution for achievements - still so pathetic.
