Someone asked me where to find it...
You find it far away from all mundane politics,
since of course the politicians have done all their best
to ruin everything; but beyond this destruction
out of reach from dirty hands and greediness
there always are oases in the desert:
friends with common interests
of creative and constructive kind,
who offer you good company
of intimacy, tenderness and warmth;
and then of course there's always some good food
in spite of all to be occasionally found
somewhere in picturesque locations
of some decent human natural environment,
– and perhaps the most important thing of all:
the coffee after lunch or dinner,
the supremest highlight of each day,
when there at last is offered you
a moment of enjoyment and of relaxation.

Paradise on earth
You find it far away from all mundane politics,
since of course the politicians have done all their best
to ruin everything; but beyond this destruction
out of reach from dirty hands and greediness
there always are oases in the desert:

who offer you good company
of intimacy, tenderness and warmth;
and then of course there's always some good food
in spite of all to be occasionally found

– and perhaps the most important thing of all:
