Tvrtko Balić: Victory of the Three Flames-contribution of KFA Croatia


The oldest burns the flame

That bears a special fame

It provides wheat

So that people could eat

From the days of sickles to those of tractors

In the peasants labour found its source

The second flame can be found in a factory

With toil he gains his mastery

Through suffering like from Naraka he gains glamour

Those once up are now down, bowing to the will of the hammer

Technologies change and so do regimes

Sooner or later work replaces market's schemes

The third flame comes from the mind

It's put forth by the samuwon

Independence, creatvity and consciousness are his find

If its purity is won

It is nurtured by intellectuals

Action is necessary, but so are all kinds of professionals

For seventy years the three flames into a single one form

Coming together into a torch as a signal to set a norm

In an honest people's heart they burn

Yet scorch only the imperialist in turn
