THE LITTLE CRICKETS OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE(1844-1900)

"I am special", "I matter" - that's

what all these little followers of Nietzsche sing;

crickets among crickets singing about

life before the fall. 

But they have malice, these

special little crickets of Nietzsche:

"I am special, I matter

so most of my fellow crickets,

even when they sing as loud and clear

as me, are worthless and better off dead."

All these little crickets of mad Friedrich

fall silent with their kin

who have thought and sang about life

without malice, as the bitter autumn comes.
