there is the verse about the life
To have or not to have? That is the question.
Whether do I need all these trinkets
Which tempted the people of our generation
The cars, the money, the iphones, the dress,
If I must work for having all these things
To overstrain my back stronger and more
To listen the stupid orders of the jerks?
Or maybe I should sit quietly somewhere
With crossed legs for one hundred years
To read the best books of great writers,
To watch good films that made the famous men
And with the headphones in the fresh woods,
To walk listening to the wonderful music,
To eat the porridge, and the apple, and the bread,
To cook the soup of bones once a week?
It is consummation, isn't it? Oh! there's the rub
Is called the crowd opinion or public's view.
Who know accurately what it is actually
He will not be surprised when he hear that
The crowd opinion is invincibly
Unless it’s not destroyed with a bodkin hit
On the red button. Who would charge bear?
Otherwise needlessly to think about the freedom
Because we know about it only that
Is told us by the casual brat.
