Let’s be friends.
See? I have a knife.
We’ll establish control in the district,
Commit a little robbery,
So that first our acquaintances grow afraid of us.

I’ll take the most obedient into the gang,
Those who resist — terror:
I’ll take everything, let them eat slop,
Let the eagle and the tricolor be glorified.

I’ll find a way to handle civilizations,
I’ll destroy many Atlantises,
I’ll walk through history majestically,
Like a nit among nits.
