LISTEN TO MALAKI, THIS TIME. DON'T LISTEN TO ME.
Friends, I have associated a song to this poem (a link to youtube). It is very important that you hear the song. It is much more important than what I wrote. Actually, it was the motive behind what I wrote:

thank you for your understanding. In Thai language it's cupconcup (meaning thank you), in Chinese (mandarin accent): shee shee, in indonsian lang: tri makasi (and I add to it: ya abu alb asi. but don't write this down in your notebooks. it's what we call interpolation. interpolations are not supposed to be recorded),in urdu shokria, in Turkish Tashakur (efndim), In Spanish Gracious, in French, you already know that. in Germany: Tanker Shit ( may be it is not a full tanker but something near that). Anyway, I liked to thank you in different languages hoping that you may make a mistake and like me.
=====
Nomads dreaming of the rain
Gypsies
Running from a pain to a pain
Looking for a spring that doesn't seem
Likely to come back again
========
Listen
babe
Baby, I used to cry and pray
Like none of your ancestors managed to pray
Listen,
All of my wishes went down the drain
====
Listen,
I have been
Pulsing among you
Trembling
Weeping
For
Millions
Or billions
Of years
Ago
Until today
=====
From the prehistoric times
I had been
engraving my
feelings
my hopes
on the sands
the rocks
and articulating my fears
in terms of poems and tears
but
you refused to listen
Afraid are you to hear?
yet
I keep auto-suggesting to me:
Tigers shouldn't shed a drop of tear
======
Heavens didn't seem to pay attention
I am the one who supposed to pay
=====
I just woke up
Should I
run away again.
Or would
You try
To listen
To me
Again and
Again
===
and
If I seem to you
invisible
or too ultrasonic
To hear
Then listen to MALAKI
He will translate me
Easily to you.
You only need to hear:
