Half of the people are below the mean -
That's a simple fact of normal distribution;
It doesn't mean their living would be grim,
This often gives much easier solutions.
In the remaining half, not all would get
Inspir'd morale, refined education...
Not everybody would be an aesthete,
But rather seek a handsome occupation.
It's easy to create a simpler art
And satisfy some cruder expectations:
Without truth and principles on guard,
Consumerism and habits rule the nations.
But in neglect, obscurity and peril
The artist's duty is to raise the level.

I don't want fame, it is an ugly creature:
It chooses blindly, stupidly avoids.
Yet neither pure luck, nor grand achievements,
Too early to pretend for fruitful joys.
The fame is vain, it passes very quickly,
By silly caprice it ignored Bach!
He was unknown - just to live forever,
And famous ones are all forgotten dust.
No, I don't want that fame, I want my path,
I want to find the words that sound forte,
I want to fire the candle by strength of love,
Not silly fame - I want to be immortal!
