NINA SIMONE by Meša Begić
nina simone I love you
I know it's too late
and there's no way for you to hear me now
but that's unimportant
I'm saying this for me
I'm saying this for god whose existence I absolutely doubt
I'm saying this for years I've been robbed of
and impossibility of ever making that right
I'm saying this for all those who didn't give up the strike
and who go on believing they can change things
even though they know the world to be a big lie
there is no flag to fit them all under
no voice nor alcohol
to make things better
nina I love you
more than anyone ever has
I love you more than the sum of those who have
and I have no idea what to do
with what I feel right now
