This town has stars:
a Walk of Fame paved
by underlords and commissions
with a professional pomp
for international honour
Who fall prey to them
definitely are no longer themselves
They will be extinguished and replaced
by the icons with their names:
..Gautama, the awakened man
..Jesus, the loving neighbour
..Socrates, the man who knows himself
..Leonardo and Albert are brilliant
..and Judas stands for betrayal
We passers-by echo it
and let the stars shine
to receive as much light
from them as possible
Why, actually?
Why do we betray
ourselves by being dark
not loving our neighbours
and not knowing who we are?
