No mortal should be fooled by the worlds ephemeral splender,
have people lost their souls?
or just unable to feel Sonder.
Modest the kindful may seem,
but be aware of what kindness may render.

Tempting the world maybe,
but only a coward would relinquish his honour or surrender.
You may mock me today,
but my morals are not for sale,
collector you are or a vendor.

In time life will surely end,
no need to be my rival or contender,
if we are remembered today
soon we will be forgotten
just like a helpless grain in a blender.
