A peaceful breakfast
I wait for her to wake up
and get out of bed at last.
I blow on the embers
to rekindle the fire.
This time
I won't tell her about
the latest mass slaughter,
I'll keep my thoughts
about the world to myself.
She told me that she'd like,
if that's ok with me,
to enjoy a peaceful breakfast.
I step to the window.
Today the morning sky
is neither rosy nor truthful.
But still,
is everything so bad?
is there nothing going well?
"man is an animal"
she says.
She laughs as she
drinks her coffee,
hardly looking at me.
Nothing about human nature
surprises her anymore.
That's why she'd like,
at least if I'm ok with that,
to enjoy a peaceful breakfast.
Yeah, a peaceful breakfast
Oh, a peaceful breakfast.
I look at the newspaper
on the chair.
Things are bad
all around.
"Do you think it will snow?"
she asks suddenly.
"Won't you give me a child for Christmas?"
She laughs as she
drinks her coffee,
hardly looking at me.
Nothing about human nature
surprises her anymore.
That's why she'd like,
at least if I'm ok with that,
to enjoy a peaceful breakfast.
Yeah, a peaceful breakfast
Oh, a peaceful breakfast.
Yeah, a peaceful breakfast
in peace, in peace...
At last, a peaceful breakfast
a peaceful breakfast
At last, a peaceful breakfast
- 1. "the news are bad, wherever they come from"
