Poetry Prompt of the Day, 5

Write a homophoic translation. Use one poem from the following links as your base. As you translate, think about politics.

One.
Two

Note on the form: when you write a homophoic translation, you translate from a language that you do not know using what the words sound like to as you sound them out the best you can, so a line like "Ho dimenticato le parole" might come out as "Who demenented Lee's parole." The meaning will completely change, and each person will "translate the poem" differently.
