Analysis of The gift to be a human
Leonid Rozumenko 1961 (Kyiv)
Two things are often pretty rude
For cultural embrace, -
It’s common truth and common nude
In the improper place.
Love is a gorgeous fire
When etiquette is over!
If intellect is higher, -
The kisses are the lower!
And you may fool the crowdedness
But not the close friend, -
When lady keeps the man’s proudness -
Its future is in her hand.
Relationship has wealth
Which is priceless by itself
When a girl provides a space
For you to be yourself.
Yet, the gift to be a human
Means pretty broad kind.
That’s why we kiss the woman
From the facade and the behind!
