In the "Pravda", the truth is written.

In the "Izvestya" there is news.

Data. Just take them in they're brought rightfully to the table.

But a poet is also interested in what will happen in two hundred years

or in a hundred.

For decades the pages of all newspapers,

are stuffed with death, mutilation, grief...

But rubbish seem these slaughterhouses

in comparison to future phantasmagoria.

# In the present the great war is summed up.

#In the written memoirs of the history scribes.

#But the pain of loved ones,

#are still screaming to us from the dry figures.

#30 million under arms are but a molehill,

#compared to hundreds of millions moaning and howling.

#Yet this hell seems to be child's rattle

#compared to the future rattling of war.

*Do not wait! Come to your senses, people!

*I wave, like a banner, this line,

*for a world in which there will be no war...

*I believe, I know - this will happen!

There'll come some year with many zero's.

Died down will have the last battle-thunder.

In Moscow, there will be no more alleys & streets -

only airfields and houses.

*human thought is fast as light!

*The poet's thought is even faster yet!

*Look at this fantasy - a poet's jest

* About a citizen's day in the world of the future!

"Eight o'clock" Screams the radio alarm clock, courteously:

"Comrade - get up, Do not sleep again. Work is calling!

As the alarm clock doesn't want him to doze off again...

Good morning. Hello!

Still a little drowsy and not wanting to rush the citizen tried to catch a flight.

Being a polite person

The citizen stopped at the flying police-box.

No report, nor a fine followed...

but just - a polite reprimand.

Fifteen minutes. it took -

and the citizen arrived at his work.

The factory. A forty storage building

What comes out of the chimney in zealous ardor

Is pure and clean, neither smoke, nor soot.

An elevator delivers single persons to any floor.

No noises, no crowds!

One keyboard - not unlike an "Underwood"...

...types the letters needed, and everything else goes automatic.

They generally compress scents

for interplanetary travels.

A (Maggi like)cube per cabin - of any width,

and one breathes in for 24 hours the essence of pine.

All prepare for the gymnastics!

Here are produced from clouds

artificial sour cream and milk.

Soon we will forget what a cow is called.

Do you get this much from a cow's udder anyway?

*Non-alcoholic!
