O say can you See
The next trend come to thee
So you are a refined man
The citizen of the globe
Can say "hello" in seven languages
And "I love you" in eight
The world is like a buffet
Served to you in a silver plate
The Pharoah the Allah the Buddha
The Kabbalah the Karma the Ka
Since when the world became a fashion show
A cultural Safari if you will
Observe behind the safety window
You come, you shoot, you go
but --- can you see it
If it is not in a souvenir shop can you see it
If it doesn't have a price tab can you see it
If it is not reviewed, appraised, approved can you see it
Do you even dare to look at it
Are you even allowed to appreciate it
I begin to suspect this is all illusion
This so-called diversity
All education
But no intuition
All decoration
But no inspiration
(And I am dangerously becoming one of them)
Since when the world became an anthropology museum
Only viewing but no touching
And definitely no feeling
But -- can you see it
If it is not behind the display glass can you see it
If it is not on the magazine catalog
Can you can you can you
Still see it

It's all because we are buried
in this shallow commercialism
Deeply, deeply, no way out
till we become one of them!
