Mediocre lives "within its means,"
Unbothered, heedless, free of fuss,
Inherited its foolish dreams—
For minds that think, it's vile as pus.

It clogs all paths, it swarms the way,
No freedom left, no space to roam.
If you resist the dull cliché,
The halfwits claim the world their own.


In Russian:

Посредственность "по средствам
Живёт", не дуя в ус,
Дурь получив в наследство —
Для умного как гнус:

Всё облепили — нету
Свободных уж путей,
Коль неподвластен бреду
Тупых недолюдей.
