Composer Borodin, the genius of music,
Lived only 53, and hadn't finished work;
His gift was kept aside, neglected and abused,
Among the daily chores around the clock.
He was a chemist and successful academic,
Yet underpaid, and teaching all the time;
He cared for loving wife, asthmatic and anaemic, -
And heard the sounds of spheres, as timeless as divine.
And then he perish'd, with unfinish'd Igor...
I look at modern music - basic, lame -
They're now thriving, prosperous and eager
To earn more money and enjoy more fame.
And none of them, however looking famous,
Can be compar'd to him in real greatness.
