Happy (Tracy Chapman)


Salutation

O generation of the thoroughly smug
and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
and heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
and do not even own clothing.

Ezra Pound

Zamanın ötesinden: Melih Cevdet Anday'ın şiirini hatırlayamadığım için, CTRL+F "uyu" yapıp tüm arşivini gezdim. Önce ilgili şiiri buldum, sonra okumaya doyamadım, bunu gördüm, gülümsedim.
