Human Gratitude
Good Selection
Disillusion

I’ve been thinking lately
That I – the naïve one,
I – the foolish one,
I – trusting great truths
And living on small change,
I – always ready to embrace
A wolf in tears,
Or a smiling shark,
I -who haven’t realised yet
That the rustle of money
Is stronger
Than Doomsday thunder claps
So, dealing with myself
I found out that my place
Is in the museum…
Alas! Today I saw
That the museum is gone,
It’s there no more.
It’s been transformed
Into a trendy night club –
With solid prices and satiny guards…
The only thing I can do now
Is to go on being
An aimlessly walking
Museum rarity.
