The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Het papier is leeg

Waarom?
In m'n moedertaal komen m'n woorden niet als water
In m'n moedertaal mengen m'n woorden niet als eieren
In m'n moedertaal verblinden m'n woorden als meel
In m'n moedertaal kneed ik m'n woorden niet als deeg

Het papier is leeg
en
het papier blijft leeg

M'n moedertaal rot weg,
verzamelt stof in een hoek.

A rant on my frustration with being unable to write anything decent in Dutch. And here's for a rough translation:

The paper is empty

Why?
In my mother tongue words don't come like water
In my mother tongue my words don't mix like eggs
In my mother tongue my words blind like flour
In my mother tongue I don't knead words like dough

The paper is empty
and
he paper stays empty

My mother tongue rots away,
gathers dust in a corner.
