Amazing things are near us
You strive for success, but
you have little time
you dream so much about
winning, and you try
There is a big battle
From day and to night
Business without prattle
You are like a knight
Knight, who tries to saddle
sweeping ray of life
You are not successful person
You think so, this is your version
Exclusively, just luck's portion
will give you to fly
Your mind is under dominion
of so called public opinion
Ask yourself and try to answer why?
You don't want to pay attention
to the trifles, do retention.
Maybe you need comprehension
that your life style needs to change
You do not feel satisfaction,
so your mind so needs distraction
Fate will followed by diffraction
and expanding vision range
Why you stand and cry so sadly,
everyone can see your tears
You are loser, it's so badly
and you lost your better years
Didn't build a reputation,
money fund and famous name.
There's no any motivation
To continue senseless game
Look back half way, it was painful
There is something to regret
Despite this you can be grateful
that you will have some time yet
Take a break from the main purpose,
be relaxed and look around
Clear blue sky, green hillls and meadows
will expand your habits bound
Make you mind more clear and candid
And transfer your interest
to the things that make you wonder
from desire to be the best
Try to see details and trifles,
there are so amazing things
Chase for money and for titles
will not give you freedom's wing

Glory
Dear ladies and gentlemen
I so wait for your note,
as an advance, I have not yet deserve it
I count on your correct and honest vote
Look at results of my inaction. love it
I will agree to fame without cause,
extracting from such case not little profit
when everyone will know where is my house
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
please look at here, it's me
I will give any payment for the glory, there's nothing that I wouldn't go for it
It will be famous star's beautiful story
You offer any meanness, I'm agree
Obscurity is pain, it's makes me worry
But glory makes me happy and so free
Maybe someone who is hero
doesn't want a Laurel wreath.
He does not look in the mirror,
praise is so far from his ears
Even if he was much perfect
and his merit was so great
people will forget his desert
and all that he could create
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
my fame is well deserved
I present my achievements to your judgment
This is the best thing that you saw and heard
In what I undertake I am a giant
To be unrecognized is so absurd
So let my name and story not be quiet,
and among others they will be prefered

Optimistic song
He is a pessimist man
And his career failed
plus family commitments
and debts, that he has made
His face and shape are like his business
And his eyes are afraid
Regretting past times often,
he doesn't see next day,
forgotten like an orphan
with permanent dismay
A noose around his neck might soften,
If he will go away
He's not okay, but look around us
Thereare many people with worse stance
Compared with him they are outsiders
his trouble is not so immense
He didn't want to madness,
that menaced like a spook
from hopelessness and sadness
went where the eyes look
Sometimes he feeled unbridled gladness,
sometimes seen maked him shook
There were luxurious dwellings
and there in the same time
poor people in foul dressings,
that ready for a crime
Rich was unhappy, under pressing,
almsman could be sublime
All of a sudden he discovered,
that many are much worse than him,
that many people are more suffered
His situation's not extreme
When you are eating a modest supper
imagine how upset that man,
who really have much more strong suffer
Go to bed hungry is his plan

Laziness
Look at me from out
I tell you about
my serious viewless flaws
So I swear now thriply
to correct it quickly
It will comes out, I suppose
I tired from my vices
cause pay too much prices
What a real ongoing shame
My patience on the brink,
I need to do something
and fix it, admitting blame
I will take it over
as my body owner,
keeping strongest discipline
I will be a warder
Putting things in order
will be my daily routine
But why I try to lie myself
While something tells in deepest minded
I will not do, especially well
no matter whoever reminded
Where is my willpower,
it will take an hour,
self improvement every day.
Showing my persistence
affects my existence
And I start it right today
Try to stop me, devil
I will quit bad habits
Go ahead to work, don't delve
My life will be famous,
active style can save us.
I just have to force myself
Мighty gods will tremble
in majestic temples
From my steep decisiveness
When hearing will thunder,
then people are wonder
such incredible progress
I can't avoid any job,
anticipating situation
but something cannot order "stop" to my instinct self preservation
Bless those who canot sit at home,
they can do everything, not linger
They, probably, in a good form,
but I'm lazy to move my finger

Repentance
I look at myself today
I am out of luck here
What the face and what the hair,
colour of my skin
I am white, it's not ok
Just like my white mother
Well people like me can know what I mean
So excuse me and everyone resembling
and even every child and every tween
for our meddling
Please, excuse our kings and our queens
for fear and trembling
Who can answer for those things?
when time was aggressive
Only those who's such as me
though we weren't there.
Not oppressed shed bitter tears, blaming not oppressive
We ask you to forgive us, staying kneel
and previous generations
We are guilty
But they did needed things you can see still
and also will see
So forgive us for all things,
but then for all fully
For discoveries of science and masterworks of art
For all that white human brings
during all times, sureley
A lot of everything you need, that is so fine and smart
For operas and symphonies and nocturnes,
philosophy and technical progress,
for physicists and chemists, for great doctors,
for literature, theater, for movie, fashion dress,
for ballet, painting, songs of splendid rockers

Knowing of limits
Honours are not for that man
He has modest wishes
He is tired from bustle and from noise
It's a lot more better than
mouthy superficies
Silence, that is what he so enjoyes
Privacy, that he appreciates
is the genuine nirvana's gates
So he doesn't feel need to converse
Speaking loud people are the worst
Chatterer will find a case
to speak to a stranger
He wо'nt leave you if you say the phrase
Even for unknowing face
that man can be danger
if you're silent person, leave that place
It can be deep night or brightest day
Such talkative man will find to say
Endless talks inspires him as a rule
despite often he looks like a fool
One's obsessive to the limit
but another is shut-in
And as always and this minute
While their nature are explicit,
I have neutral mood and spirit
But I'm silent not over,
speaking enough, not lower,
not dandy and not rover,
couse I don't like extremes
I'm not awake, not sleeper,
not funner and not bleaker,
not liar, not truth speaker,
in reasonable team
One so like archaic cricket,
second is a boxing fan
This prefers to pay a visit
That can't stand it for a minute,
so of course he never did it
I'm staying in the middle
between smoothness and ripple
and take from all a little
in limited regime

Kindness
Why do nerves
Why do nerves get damaged?
Why is it
is it hard at heart?
Why my mood
is very depressive, not managed
It is a feeling that is hard to impart
We all know
from childhood to this day
We all know
a familiar word
We see show
of somebodie's grief, trying to pray
for people, that we don't know about, don't heard
This is word that called as kindness
it's so easy to be kind
if big money stands behind us,
we don't have to find
When it comes to our well being,
what song will we sing that time?
Will we want, will we be ready?
Will we find a dime, find a dime?
Or maybe we will start to lie
or even capable of crime,
and we forget about sublime
Who knows if our kindness will so steady
Will our moral be so high?
I have no answer, don't know why
What about
that people who does not responding
for harm and dirty tricks
Without shout
and without fighting , just according to shuning of conflicts
How long they can be tolerate
before they start to fight and hate
I really want to know what can restrict

Truth speaker
No abstruse and compound saying
More simplicity and truth
Clear speech without playing
It's the hard way that I choose
I'm not so sublime than others,
not so sensitive and sweet
I will say directly rather
than more soft and not concrete
Without nuance and reasoning,
all of that is full excess
Simple speech in frank performing
has success
Metaphors are much redundant
No embellishment at all
Speaking fog can be abundant
It's unpleasant for my soul
But sarcasm is always pangent
Sissies, I condole
My speech is not always gentle
I don't beat around the bush
Cynicism is fundamental,
when I hear deceitful tush
Pleonasm is born from lounging,
so I like my waspish style
When I see mendacious clowning
as a rule it makes me smile
Irritation and strong anger
entrenched as reaction to
idle talk, and then I hanker
to be true
Sorry for my frankness, mister
I don't care about tint
I need to open this blister,
lying is a greatest sin
Anyway, direct, true clyster
better than some hint
I am voice among the huddle
of obliquenesses and double,
of omissions and of fuzzy thoughts
I am voice among the number
of equivocals and slumber,
of uncertainties which someone wrote
Muddy talks , we hear it daily,
diplomatic speech is vaguely
It's so hard to find, where is the truth
Hidden lies have their creator,
so we need a good translator
It's for knowing what thought they produce
Well elementary way
I tell that I want to say,
sometime including strong word,
word that someone haven't heard

Justice, where are you?
So what is the fault of children
that were born and lived two years
when insidious sickness killed them
Parents shed a lot of tears
But a scoundrel's health is splendid
He lived almost hundred years
did much evil and intended
to continue without fear
Clergy tell us with conviction
Сhildren pay for older age
But they cannot buy me for this fiction
Priest wants to look like a sage
What about sons and daughters,
who died when they were infants
Somehow god arranged them all of horrors
despite parents were believing fans
I forgot, remind me
Give signs, just a few
Will you be so kindly,
Justice, where are you?
Guiltless gets disaster
scoundrel gets ice cream
It's decree of master
Something wrong with him
Not uncommon situation
someone steals someone else's role
laurels come to not creation
talent's penniless at all
Paradise waits for good people
But instead they go to hell
Someone cannot do his own committal,
do his own committal well
So I ask him with insistence,
what prevents to do it right?
Let the kindly people get assistance,
let the villains feel inferno's migh
