Jacek Kaczmarski - Nie lubię

"I don't like"

I don't like when they call me by my name
When every second word in the sentence is "brother"
I don't like when they pat me on my shoulder
With a smile shouting: "long time no see"!
I hate when they read my letters
When through a shoulder they peek at their cards
I don't like those who think that for everything...
The best is a punch in your kneck lowered down!

I hate when someone is forcing something upon me
I hate when someone is trying to play on pitty
I hate when they kick the doors to your soul
Especially when their goal is to spit at it!
I hate flies that feed themselves with the warmest blood
I hate dogs that eat the meat tearing it apart with their teeth
I hate those who blindly believe in themselves
When even they're being chocked by their own pace!

I hate the feeling of helplessness
That catches a frightened animal looking at the barrel of a gun
I hate the unfortunate circumstances
That show up when someone finally meets their goal!
I therefore hate the unexplained reasons
I hate the losses that will never meet return
I hate counting my never-ending wishes
Until a kind executioner will satisfy the last one!

I hate when a conversation is being interrupted
By a dry and metalic sound of putting the phone away
I hate the shots in the back of the heads
And to the parades and salutes I feel only resent
I hate myself when I'm being a coward
When I'm trying to excuse my shameful deeds
When I'm smiling to the ones I serve
Even though I hate them with all my soul!

Even though I hate them with all my soul!
