"New" is not the better way.
The cunning breed, day after day,
Spins the OLD record, sly and shrill,
Masking rot with "new" goodwill.

Into "novelty," they shove
Vileness, killing truth and love.
The spirit—core of all we learn—
Is placed upon the pyre to burn.

Once, there was a purer time,
Unmasked by deceitful rhyme,
Higher than this "novel lore,"
Where wisdom reigned, now thought's a bore.

And so they press their wretched fare,
Crushing balance, unaware.
Psychic ruin lies ahead—
Full decadence, where reason’s dead.

The mind, beneath the spirit’s reign,
Holds the line 'gainst all profane,
Shielding us from beasts’ embrace,
Strengthening reason’s rightful place.


In Russian:

Старая пластинка
псевдо-новизны
"Новое" — не лучшее.
Долго племясучее
СТАРУЮ пластинку
Крутит, под сурдинку
В "новизну" пихая
Мерзость, убивая
Главное в познаньи —
Дух. Он на закланьи.
Много было раньше,
И без всякой фальши,
ВЫШЕ этой "нови".
Ум теперь коровий,
Потому пихают
Мерзость, добивая
Психики баланс —
Полный декаданс.
Ум ПОД Духом — это
Тот баланс: от бреда
_ТВАРЕЙ защищает,
Разум укрепляя.
