Faith has been dropped

        Alisa Onipchenko-Cherniakovska

Because it happened that we said "love"
The word "affection" has to skip a beat
By the river bank
A bird searching for its partner
Stepping on the night moon

The word "because" has been divided
That's why "I" has been taken over
Realising it's not right
Still making a bet
Happiness is not black and white

Inherently the world is not balanced
Smile has been replaced by the world affairs
Even what seems to be very clear
Has to wait to be judged
Model setting is like a sword bending like silk

We need nothing but the word "relax"
A contract is handed by happy smiles
Only in me
Faith has been dropped
The world is not as pink
As when being handed over by you, parents
