Where Did you Learn It? by Fikrat Goja (born 1935) You make us love you, Hey, World, you're cheating us. You withhold your final word. A dark night concludes Every shining bright day. You have buried the faces of many beauties Under the cold earth. I don't know who taught you this cunning trick. Did humanity teach you this? Or did humanity learn it from you? The Sun is your eye, It burns us each day in a different way. The Storm is your breath, It hits us, knocks us down. I've lost a number of beauties My eyes still focused on their lips. Both you - the world and humanity Love to leave us, ever waiting. By God, I'm just wondering Where did you learn it from? Did humanity teach you this? Or did humanity learn it from you?
