I feel so small, brilliance shrinks my shadow
Faded gray it dissolves amidst glory
Father of Oedipus, king your son awaits
Tall mountains fall in Colorado
Even the prime minister waits for a lorry 
A sharp nail an old tire deflates

 

Each sun must sink in the West
Lao Tzu left for the mountain with one shoe
Christ was beaten and nailed to a cross
Feed the new let old fires rest
A rusty nail replaced by a screw
There can be no new master without an old one's loss
