A piece of bread To quench the hunger
For day and night;
A person shouts out for a sad existence,
Searches for it, but fails and finishes in a while.
Being born with the cruel fate, whose fault is it?
Am I to blame myself?
Were we unwanted?
Did we get into the wrong world?
Insatiable hunger,
Public negligence,
Disappearance of rejoice...
I want to live in clouds and fill myself with air in the universe;
Still the heat from the sun is increasing Not enough to melt the frozen blood And faded heartbeats of my brothers.
The ground beneath your feet;
Where a piece of bread,
Don't fall apart!
Where is the Jesus who takes care of all?
There is no answer!
I have the piece of bread only except my wealth here.
