The Accidental Turn Of A Trade Unionist
An accidental turn
Of continuous life
Up sided down
Happiness with asymmetrical hope
A leader in trade union politics
Becomes an apprentice of cheese making
After being a refugee in Swiss
In a prosperous mountainous village
In proud of his career
Brings him to the top
Than the height of the hill
Enjoys difficult happiness
Instead of talking about
Demands and rights
Politics and struggle in homeland
Tells the story of cheese making
Quality and quantity of temperature
Training of disciplinary patience
Clean and time of hardness
Proudest adventure of joy
Taste and proportion
The goal of the success is
Made by him original cheese
Priceless gift to the friends
Comments of taste and quality
Cheeks become rose colored
With smiles and hints for his friends' jokes
Having perfected than ever
Like a slice of tasty cheese
Compacted life into the present
On time schedule of the day
Night takes to the on time sleep
Living among crowded labors
Noisiest voices of unsatisfied
Calmness of retired past
He tries to be cheese
War given gift as a part
Rebirth of life
Slowly climbs the mountain
Even though the life is getting old
