300! I’m with you in hunger
where you’re madder than I am
I’m with you in hunger
where you must feel strange
I’m with you in hunger
when they murder you in silence every day
I’m with you in hunger
where you answer with your will to bring a change
I’m with you in hunger
where your cry might seem in vain
I’m with you in hunger
where your condition has become serious and is reported more and more
I’m with you in hunger
where your thirst for freedom makes you keep on standing there
I’m with you in hunger
where you scream behind your tight sewed lips that you’re not
losing the game of actual pingpong of the abyss
Im with you in hunger
where you thought to escape the worse, humiliation slavery, to
come and live in dignity
I’m with you in hunger
where you watched the rest of the world talking free and posting
news
I’m with you in hunger
where you dared to take the risk and traveled long, to meet your life
I’m with you in hunger
where you whisper “the soul is innocent and immortal, it should never die
ungodly in an armed madhouse”
I’m with you in hunger
where you accuse your doctors of insanity since they just feed you to
produce – the peoples revolution against the capital international Golgotha
I’m with you in hunger
where there are millions mad comrades all together marching the final
piece of road towards freedom
I’m with you in hunger
where we hug and kiss Europe under our bedsheets, a coughing Europe,
all night long, not letting us sleep
I’m with you in hunger
where we wake up electrified out of the coma by our own souls’ drama.
We are not free. Now we see. Imaginary walls collapse. And we do O, skinny
legions run outside O, starry-power flags of mercy, the eternal war is here
O, victory, forget your underwear, we’re free
I’m with you in hunger
in my dreams you walk dripping from a sea-journey through Greece in
tears to the door of my cottage in the Western night
And I make the fire. And hunger is no more.
I’m with you
