Okno v svet, okrog njega zid bel,
Brez zavesti kdo to ustvarja,
V vlažni sobi ob družbi glodavcev,
Pokanje hrbtov in jecanje žimnic.
Železo in beton,
V živo zazidani kriki na pomoc.
Zida palace, a živi v baraki,
Tvega vse, kar še ima,
Življenje odvisno od zidarskega odra,
Od milošcine gospodarja širokega obzorja.
(V Sloveniji imamo delavski apartheid, neenako so obravnavani tuji in domaci delavci. Najhujši primer so gradbeni delavci, ki delajo v nemogocih razmerah, v napol suženjskih razmerah, nastanjeni v razpadajocih stavbah, placani z življenjskim minimumom. Pa še tega kdaj ne dobijo placanega. Na drugi strani pa gradijo ogromne betonske palace, štadione, ceste, od katerih pobirajo dobicke bele srajce. Beda in blišc, in skoraj nepredstavljiva ignoranca javnosti do takšnega izkorišcanja.)
A window to the world, around it a white wall,
No realization on who creates this,
Inside a damp room, in the company of rodents,
The breaking of backs, the whimpering of cots.
Iron and concrete
Cries for help walled in alive.
He builds palaces, yet lives in a shack,
Risks all he still possesses,
Life dependent on the scaffolding,
On the alms of the master of the wide horizon.
(In Slovenia exists a form of apartheid among the working class, manifesting itself in the unequal treatment of foreign workers in comparison to Slovenian ones. The most blatant example are construction workers, who work in appalling, almost slavery-like conditions, are accommodated in rundown buildings and paid minimum wages (which are sometimes not paid at all). Still, they build huge concrete palaces, stadiums, roads, from which white collars reap profit. The wealth and poverty, and the almost unimaginable ignorance of the public towards such exploitation.)
