Apprentice

People, Millions of people Whom you will never see, who don't know you, Never will know you, People who may try to kill you in the Morning, Live in a darkness Which if you have that funny, terrible thing which Every artist can recognize and no artist can define, You are responsible to those people To lighten that darkness. And it does not matter What happens to you. You are being used In the way a crab is useful, The way sand certainly has some function. It is impersonal. This call that you didn't ask for and this Destiny which you must accept Is also your responsibility. And if you survive it, if you don't cheat, If you don't lie, it is not only, You know, your glory, your achievement. It is almost a holy oath
