Imitation of Classics

There is the only one salvation –
to keep to the established order.
We have to get a new creation,
to take it we don’t cross fixed border.

You born to follow old tradition
of all those fallen in the battle,
One can’t avoid forced imitation,
No one can’t guard you from this rattle.

The new will substitute the old
and finally be out of fashion,
and in the end will be the Word 
as was at dawn of its Creation.
