Someone gives, someone takes, and a single sincere forgiveness
is a chance for a million of those who dream but won’t dare
let their lives shine brighter than marvelous Venus,
embody the light and the grace, thus wishing to share…
Let hurricanes rage and merciless floods show their possession
of people who care for things so petty and simple
There’s only one thing worth of living – mature recession
of everything, leaving no trace, but a delicate dimple
The end of one’s life in the face of nuclear explosion
is surely better than failure to find inner courage
of making your own capacities stronger than Portion,
that is just a useless collection of alien garbage…
Someone gives, someone takes – it’s the way that is bitter, but stable
You may give and may take, or bring the opposites together
Thus attaining the balance and feeling that people are able
Let their souls reach freedom in choosing… this way or never…
