Someone was a communist because he needed a push towards something new
Because he felt the need for a different morality
Because maybe it was just a force, a flight, a dream
It was just a rush, a desire to change things, to change life
Someone was a communist because next to this rush everyone was like more than himself
It was like two people in one
On the one hand, the daily personal struggle
And on the other hand, the sense of belonging to a race that wanted to take flight
To really change life
No, no regrets
Maybe even then many had opened their wings
Without being able to fly
Like hypothetical seagulls
And now?
Even now, it feels like two
On the one hand, the man who is inserted
Who, through the squall
Has the power of his own daily survival
And on the other hand, the seagull
Without even the intention of flying
Because now the dream has been trapped
Two miseries
In one body
Of one don't know what the paraboloids are
The symbol of power
The symbol of freedom
The symbol of freedom
The signство
