Inspiration is like beer with a gopnik
To drink in peacetime.
No inspiration — not a single wonder,
Shout, run, or shake.

But once the soul flares up
With love or with anger at evil —
It is enough to hurl a grenade
Into the poisonous snake den.

Dozens of orcs at once
Inspiration will tear to shreds.
It will destroy the ravenous plague,
And lay a path to life.
