The rose of time

One morning,the bugle

which is a trumpet in uniform ,

called a young father to dig a trench 

He would have preferred to continue 

growing the roses in his garden ,

rather than reap laurels .

  But you must obey the duty ...

And then, in the evening ,they told him :

\'\' You have to change your language

 and flag  or  leave ,

  just to the neighbor\'s house ! \'\'

 The roses in the garden ,continued to grow

in beauty and wisdom ,always speaking 

the language of flowers ...

 And then,when the son turned 20 ,

others have returned .

 Not far away, just from the land of neighbors.

  They told him : 

\'\' You are our child and blood ,

defend your homeland ! \'\'

 - \'\' You know you have to die

when dad is from here 

and mum from nowhere ! \'\'

 The brothers also wage war 

on each other ,to inherite

a trampled hawthorne sanctuary.

And not looking at each other 

across a border ,

 that in their gleaming palaces 

princes in parrot battle dress 

 have absentmindeadly  

 drawn at sunset ...

  The child fell in the grass 

wet with dew .

 And the ancient continued 

to breathe in the scent 

of the roses in the garden ,

 for so many years ...

The ederly, you know ,

live long after turmoil and torment ,

putting the medals 

into the same memory box,

when the bugle call ceased .

And only the dew of dawn 

will cover the remains of the son ...

 The princes are weary 

in their concrete gardens .

Understanding only 

the fiery speech of thistles...
