Let me give you some advice, young one.
When the loose cobblestones tremble,
and you can feel the crowds as they come...
Keep singing your tune, don't dissemble.
When their rabble engulfs you, an isle,
and your ears tingle for gluttony,
Know that they traipse silent single file,
Keep your soul free from fragile debris.
When you see them approach, close your eyes.
The most savage animal eats all,
To look will feed them little white lies
Keep your heart steady, for truth stands tall.
And I remember what an old sage once told me when I was young:
Entertain the unnamed untamed lion mane,
Seek no fame, no glory in the game,
Go against the grain, try to stay sane,
Stay away from the circus train.
