| It happened in distant seas, a hundred miles from the coast:
|
| Our ship seemed to be stuck - there was a constant calm.
|
| And people were waiting for the wind, waves, there were also those that are storms,
|
| But the sail hung like a rag, alas, and people cursed fate.
|
| Truth, as a rule, is poisoned with fire, it is killed. |
| And yet,
|
| When the captain said: "Let's swim," everyone knew that this was a lie.
|
| And the captain subtly lied so that there would be fewer worries,
|
| And those who knew a lot, the captain ordered: "Overboard!"
|
| Losing.
|
| And to discourage others from now on, it was decided by him:
|
| Lock everyone in their cabins at once, curtain the window.
|
| And someone greedily reached for the window, and someone didn’t care about everything,
|
| And everyone knew both the gingerbread and the whip, and everyone chose his own.
|
| Nothing in the world lasts forever under the moon, everything depends on fate,
|
| And the captain went to another world - he, too, was not eternal.
|
| And the years became older, one captain after another,
|
| And everyone kept saying: “We are moving towards the goal”, but everyone understood that we were standing.
|
| Losing.
|
| One sunny spring day, another captain took the helm,
|
| Everyone thought - the new one would say: "We are sailing" - he did not say this.
|
| But he said: “You can’t go on like this! |
| If we want to go
|
| Everyone needs to take the oars and learn to row.”
|
| And our ship slowly set off, and calm is no longer a problem,
|
| And everyone understood that it was good to row, and not to wait for the wind.
|
| And although our ship was reputed to be slow, but, most importantly, I understood there -
|
| When a ship cannot sail, the captain is to blame.
|
| Losing.
|
| And although our ship was reputed to be slow, but, most importantly, I understood there -
|
| When a ship can't sail, it's the captain's fault! |
