Commie commissioned poetry

In 1952, the Czech national poet, F. Hrubin, writes this.

Z kominu se kouri
slunce oci mhouri
mhur si oci mhur
kdyby se z nich nekourilo
bylo by nam hur

Now, for those of you who don't speak some sort of slavic language (what, you don't speak Czech!?!?), the translation is as follows.

Smoke from smokestacks runs
squint-eyed is the sun
squint, sun, squint your eyes
if it were not for the smokestacks
worse would be our lives

Gotta love Communism.
