Give A Hand
โPOEM by Elizabeth Pavlovska
(Translated from Macedonian)
Give me a hand instead of a bomb,
A smile for a bitter tear,
Hug me hard as the world shakes,
So let’s win this fight together.
Feed me with the bread of love,
I’m hungry for her,
Water me with mild mercy,
So that a strong faith may return to us all.
Pray for me quietly,
ย Donโt scold me, don’t curse me,
May be then everything will change,
There will be no persecution and no war.
Forgive me for my weakness,
I am just a miserable human being,
Teach me good deeds,
So in cold hearts are to give birth to spring.
And so the fate of all of us is the same,
At the end of the road, death awaits us,
Which matters who is bigger,
When we lie down in black earth.
Wish peace, instead of war,
May be the sky will hear you,
Give life, donโt take it,
Be the first to hug.
Send me a flower, not a bullet,
Donโt take the air what I breathe,
To look for a thread that will bind us,
and not divisions that do not annihilate.
Give me a hand in this fake world,
Together to defeat bad fate,
With love to start again,
To build a new future.
