For many men value appearances more than reality — thus they violate what’s right. Everyone’s prepared to sigh over some suffering man, though no sorrow really eats their hearts, or they can pretend to join another person’s happiness forcing their faces into smiling masks. But a good man discerns true character — he’s not fooled by eyes feigning loyalty, favouring him with watered-down respect.

და მზე რაჟამსაც ამოვიდა, ჩვენ დავინახეთ,
ეგეოსის ზღვა, მოცინარე, გადაცხედრილი.

Şu evrende siz tanrılardan
Daha zavallısı var mı bilmem:
Kurban vergileri
Dua üfürükleriyle beslenir
Haşmetli varlığınız zar zor.
Size umut bağlayan budalalar,
Çocuklar, dilenciler olmasa
Yok olur giderdiniz çoktan.

Sen yoksa beni
Yaşamaktan bıkar mı sandın?
Kaçak çöllere giderim mi sandın
Açmıyor diye
Bütün düş tomurcukları?
Bak işte, yerli yerimdeyim;
İnsanlar yetiştiriyorum bana benzer;
Bütün bir kuşak benim gibi,
Acılara katlanacak, ağlayacak,
Gülecek, sevinecek,
Ve aldırış etmeyecek sana
Benim gibi!
