Our father that art in heaven <br />Stay there <br />And we will stay on the earth <br />Which is sometimes so lovely <br />With her mysteries of New York <br />And her mysteries of Paris <br />Which well equal those of the Trinity <br /> <br />With her little canal of Ourcq <br />Her great wall of China <br />Her river of Morlaix <br />Her treasures of Cambrai <br />With her Pacific Ocean <br />And her two lakes at the Tuilleries <br /> <br />With her good children and her bad subjects <br />With all the world's marvels <br />There <br />Simply on the earth <br />Offered to everyone <br />Scattered <br />Marveling themselves to be such marvels <br />And who dare not admit it <br />Like a pretty girl who dares not show herself <br /> <br />With the world's horrifying miseries <br />Who are legion <br />With their legionnaires <br />With their tortureres <br />With the masters of this world <br />The masters with their priests and their traitors <br /> <br />With the seasons <br />With the years <br />With the pretty girls and the old bastards <br />With the straw of misery rotting in the steel of cannons.<br /><br />Aliya Deri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pater-noster-translation/
