The poems text is as follows:

Forbearance. Forbearance. Forbearance. Huts tilting but never fall down Trees withering but never die People have long life spans, like whales They are alive only because a father went to bed with a mother and she gave birth to an axe to tear down the land's heart and dig out its troves to keep the stock market in business.

I found this in a book with very dubious citing of poets, it wrongly attributed one poem by an Italian poet Cesare Paavese, to another poet and translator, Abu Zikra.

I want to further confirm what in the world is going on with this book, and I want to double check where this poem came from, is it wrongly cited like Cesare's poem?
