Great light in the sky, go out! Let me sink to sleep And End the agony of yesterday, Today and tomorrow… No, it is not like me to pout Like this and weep About the sorrows of everyday Which we all share… I’ve seen very little to know Where to find north Yet I read much in winter And live the lives of thousand centuries... Good and evil, yes and no All of us must set forth And drink the ever bitter Truth - reality doesn’t care about our dreams… The is no place on the top For the honest dreamer That would change the world Just for the sake of this ephemeral place... The businessman will surely stop Him, will play the dealer And deal him cards so cold To make him lose conviction and face… Some men would strike The sun if it offended them Their lust for wealth matched Only by primordial hunger for endless power... They would march Against the gods, all of them It would be so businesslike And it would make the world of men over...

No better tomorrow
