Like a
children’s flashy toy,
kings their garments
to enjoy.
We surrender…
Like a heart
of solid stone,
gold and
silver come with ton.
We surrender…
Like a fairy
cat of ancient Rome,
luxury sleeps there,
an empty home.
We surrender…
Like a rooster’s
cry to boast,
empty wisdom, flowers
lost.
We surrender…
Like an apple
in a fairy tale,
knowledge robs
our hearts away.
We surrender…
Like a jewel
which is fake,
flesh and beauty
by the lake.
We surrender…
Like a house
on the sand,
idol’s born in
our hand.
We surrender…
When the
lights are out of sight,
what our pleas
will be to Thou?
We surrender?
When a fight
needs to be done,
Kronshtadt’s
candle gives a hand.
We surrender?
Romanos Thalassios
