Англоязычный вариант моего верлибр завещания

   Здравствуйте, дорогие читатели. Это моя первая попытка перевода текста при помощи компьютерных переводчиков методом многократного перевода одного абзаца с русского на английский и с английского на русский, до более или менее стабильного и приемлемого текста. Спасибо, за возможные поправки. Всего хорошего.

My hour will come, I’ll go to God!
I’ll disappear into smoke, 
I’ll give my ashes to the ground.
Such is the fate of all living
Now humans on Earth!


But before I go to the Creator,
I leave you a simple idea as a legacy:
It’s as simple as "two plus two".
I called this phenomenon "Platonic Law".


Its essence is simple: All that the diligent ancestors collected,
Their "glorious" descendants will all squander.
And how? Yes, very simple!

The reason for this phenomenon: in successive changes of priorities in People,
when they accumulate Gold and humanity.

Let's describe this in more detail.

A crowd of people starting life from scratch,
Trying to collect in a piggy bank for life,
 A little knowledge, faith and kindness.

Their children are the second generation,
They don't just save up, but they live by the rules of an honest life,
In responsible and diligent work.

Their children are the third generation.
They will reject the rules of their fathers.
Thanks to science and labor, they will rise above all others.

Because of their high aspirations, they are "dreaming in clouds".
All new things are accomplished by their labors,
Bringing them glory and honor.   

Their children are the fourth in the sequence, from the ancestors
Who appeared in the world, will not accept
The proud aspiration  of the fathers. They only strive for peace, balance,
Bringing peace and grace to the family and society.

I called them "Pacifying",
Because they do not see the evil around them,
And themselves do not create that.


In creating family well - being, from grandfathers and fathers,
The accumulated spiritual wealth of all  will pass to them.
This is a blessing. But also - and a lot of capital, and with it
Pride and the opportunity to live so beautifully.


They were destined to become "Pacifying", and their children
 - Accept the fate of the incompetent offspring’s
Of the most worthy fathers, in the crowd of insignificant
"hedonists and egocentrists", but spoiled by fate.

This is always the case, because of the abundance of gifts and feelings,
When the one who brings up children, is the one,
Who is "the most kind and Peaceful".
Such an excess of pampering will not be good for their children.

And the children of the "Peaceful" are the fifth generation
From their ancestors.
All that is collected by diligent ancestors, they'll waste it.
Because their parents made them into sissies and aristocrats.

And the teaching that was hammered into their heads,
How the skin will fall off from the larva,
When it turns into a winged creation.

Their children - the sixth generation from their poor ancestors –
Are a crowd of people left without  means and education.
They must again accumulate wealth, so that
Great-great-grandchildren can "live beautifully like this".

But, is it so important that in the family of someone
There will be worthless, spoiled children.
In other families, there are nice children!


It's all about the number of those and other people,
That we have considered.

Yes, the whole trouble of the country, or the clan,
Is that spontaneous famine, or famine associated with war,

This causes a generational shift in society.

Years pass, generations change.
And finally, there comes the time of the "fifth" generation,
among the births.
And careless, frivolous people will  become active creators of history.

Now they are the masters of what the ancestors have accumulated.
Rulers of countries and regions, arbiters of destinies and passions.

They will waste everything they can,
With the latest powerful power and mindless behavior,
They will leave only labor to the heirs,
Without giving any upbringing or education.
Turning them into a crowd of people,
With a difficult and sad beginning.

Five generations on Earth will change,
And the cycle will be closed according to the "Platonic law", if only
You will not realize that life cannot be as simple as you want,
And you will look through time into the distance.

It is not difficult for me to explain the modern history of Russia,
 the "Platonic law".
After all, man is the creator of his history.
And the sages, from Hegel to Graves, are right to say,
About the fact that "history flows,  as if, in a spiral".

Let it be now, productive forces
All countries, more powerful than before,
And now, social forces, potentially, better than the old ones.
But the purpose of both is only the accumulation of human wealth.

Yes, accumulation is faster, which means that people will change more
 and more in each generation, changing their lives, laws and destiny,
And also, and the history of its own.

That's why the turns of history are getting shorter.

We don't need "no wars, no revolutions".
Let the children receive a gift of a blooming Home country for the ages,
Not a plundered, impoverished country.

My time will come, I will go to God,
But I believe that people will live wisely,
And not weak-willed toys of fate, subject to the "law of Plato",
And they will carefully look through time into the distance!

And they will not populate our blooming world
Stupid lazy people, mindless hedonists and callous egoists.
After all, this will one day lead to the death of all life on Earth.


                Continued 1

The reader will read these lines and shake his head.
– Yes, it seems that there is such a property in the history of peoples,
Which, the writer called "Platonic Law".

So what? He called on all residents on a planet, to think of it. So what?
Russian egoists and idlers will not disappear from this, and will
continue to "rule the ball in their  history" just as before!

Yes, I admit, this reader is right.
Lamentations are of little use.
But, why in European countries,
Such as England, Switzerland and Sweden
Plato's law doesn't really effect on them?

To this, can we answer like this,
That Plato's Law is strongly influenced there, where the education of children
 accidentally, and not defined  by tradition and wise Law.

And who is raising all the children now?
Parents, by example and control, school, under state supervision,
And well as the media, and the uncontrolled Internet.

In all pedagogical councils we find a lesson about that,
What should be the caregivers...
And it would be great, if the parents and the teachers of all
The children would correspond to this.
Then Plato's Law was powerless.

Alas, home education did not justify itself.
We see confirmation of this in history.
And wars, riots, robberies and theft common phenomena in history.

Thinkers hoped for the school:
"The school is a huge force  that determines the life and fate of
Peoples and the state"!  Mendeleev D. I.

You can read about the schools yourself
In many Internet sites.
But I must warn you, that your perception of what you read depends on,
To which generation we should refer their author,  and who you are
 in the list  of generations.

Thus, individualists and hedonists will condemn any school education,
And the “responsible” will condemn soft school rules.

However, we will continue our review of what, the wise have told us in their brief aphorisms.

So, we have defended our schools in Russia.
But what should teachers teach children in them?
Else Plato, 2300 years ago, did left a lot of writings about this.

Here in one of them:
 "who best alternates gymnastic exercises with musique art
  and properly presents them to the soul, we would have the right
 to consider him as having reached perfection...”
Having known harmony “he will praise that which is beautiful,
and having accepted it into his soul,  he will accept it,
and he himself will become perfect;  and he will correctly condemn
 the bad and hate it from a young age..."

Plato urged to teach children social sciences, exercises
the body to strengthen.
And the soul to elevate the beautiful and humane (fair),  art .

Centuries passed. Scientists have learned many secrets of nature,
They came up with logical foundations for the sciences.
They created a wonderful technique and production,
on tricky technological processes.

The child sees the results of all these achievements. He has been using
 many good things since childhood . He must understand the essence of
 many things, master and remember in order to become the most
  competent creator and a good specialist.

So, the child should be engaged in school:
Physical education, drawing and singing  to develop your abilities.
Must master: Ethics and study discipline, Friendship
of friends, a healthy daily routine, Fundamentals of most sciences and
the humane arts  beauty, remember the basics of the two languages.

Every schoolchild should comprehend, and lay in the soul:
The significance of the Good and the glory of the valor of the Heroes,
They must remember many native land names, the location of rivers, seas and cities. As well as all of Russia natural resources. Its greatness and glorious deeds in history, And also, the modern structure and its Laws.

So that our child of Russia becomes a Patriot,
His Souls should become the basis the great works her of culture:
Painting, theatre, music, cinema...
They must often, pathetically and proudly,
With the help of a "Responsible" guru, be comprehended by them.

Patriotism is what unites Russians,
And it makes them many times more reliable, stronger.
Every nation has a social power, it rises to the skies.
Because the general love for native the Fatherland influences affects this.


Recently, I had an argument with a friend of mine.
He convinced me that school was only knowledge
It should give, but not touch the upbringing at all.
With a good head and a tendency to learn science,
A child in any country will find a job.

Yes, the child will become a "citizen of the World".
This has happened many times. Ah, fame and fortune
In a foreign land he will search.
And our people, our Homeland expanses,
Who will master and protect them?

The land of Russia is great, and the virgin nature
So rich that I had to dealers in the hopes of,
They drool, wanting to get their hands on a lot of things.
For their profit and the weakening of Russia, they
And the "citizens of the World" are eagerly accepted.

Yes, in schools it is necessary to teach children sensibly, educate.
on affair and good guide wisely.
So that the pupils, after completing the training,
He became a loyal and honest citizen of Russia.

Media, mostly under state control, however, they largely depend on
advertising and the predilections of the base crowd.
But on the Internet, there is no control at all.
Only the parent is required to follow up follow your child's interests,
in the network of dangerous Internet sites.

So be more attentive to interests your children.
Try to direct them at a high and useful.
Then you won't have to regret.

We've closed the circle again on Parental custody.
That's why the rich preferred for school his children Eton,
With paid strict control for the behavior of their children.

Are there any closed schools in Russia?
Of course, there were and are.
These are Suvorov and cadet schools,
as well as schools for gifted children.

And what are the rules there?
And it depends on the teacher’s properties and properties of the state.
And these properties depend on the properties
 of the now living generations.

Until we can learn more about them, we can't make it available
and high-quality education for Russian children.

Almost all children are gifted and capable of education.
Let there be schools in Russia for all gifted, only with responsible
and cordial teachers.

..The last my hour will come,
I will go to God!
.And I leave you with the “Platonic Law”.

    Continued 2

The "current" reader  will read:
"Мy hour will come, I will move away to God" and its "Continuation",
and will object with a sly smile:

- The writer tells me in detail about his the sociological law.
And he invited me to take care about the upbringing of small children.

But I don't have any children of my own,
And I do not want to bind myself to their concerns at all.
I live easily, like a bird of God.
I can provide for myself with everything.
And I will live as my Fate will decide

– That's right, dear reader. You are free to choose your Fate.
... While.... While you are young  and full of energy.
 And then?

Let me point out to you that,
That Fate is not given by the Lord.
She's just a manifestation of
Social power of your strata.


– Strata? What the hell is this? And why should I remember the power
of "this strata"?
And how does it affect my Fate?

– Strata, this is your social circle and
Your interests. As well, as  families,
 With whom are you equal in position and wealth.
And social power is their cohesion and willingness to defend them.

– Let me, defend myself from whom?
Who can stop me from living like this, how do I want to live, how do I live now, and how will I live until I die?

– My dear reader, you forget, that your strata is not so  strong, as you Wish be,
 and as strong as you would like to be.
 Look around, can't you see other strata’s and peoples?

They live near your strata, after all.
They are so numerous and with their children
So strong that just, they will drive you away from your
native lands without mercy.

And their children, neither your people, nor your stratum
They don't understand and they don't know.
They have a different life, different interests.
And you're a nuisance to them, what's under the hot sun,
You have a place.

And what you have always considered your own,
They will take it as a life resource for themselves.
And what is only you appreciate,
for them – only garbage, for a garbage dump.
Where, and You will be sent after him.

You don't need children...You don't want children.
Meanwhile, listen to the advice of a wise Hindu:
"The birth of a child is God's message, (about the fact) that
 he is not yet disappointed in people."
                Rabindranath Tagore

Nature is smart. Nature is cunning.
She linked Motherhood with Joy.
“How a mother is touched by her child,
Even though he worries her day and night".


Here is how in the song of the composer Eduard Kolmanovsky
"I love «you»-Life" on the verses of Konstantin Vanshenkin sung:

“... I have love,
Life, you know what it is.

How the nightingales sing
Twilight, kiss at dawn.
And the pinnacle of love -
This is a Great Miracle - Children!

Again we will go with them,
Childhood, adolescence, train stations, piers.
There will be grandchildren later
Everything will repeat itself from the beginning. ... "

And how much Mother's Joy carries baby feeding.
It was specially conceived by Nature,
For to tie tightly together the life of a child and a mother.

And the first babble of a child
And his first steps – what delight and joy
They give it to their parents.

And the first successes and the first victories of their children –
What legitimate pride they fill parents immensely.

And if the parents are smart and in pedagogy, they understand a little,
Then in adult life children will not let their parents down.


But the hedonism of those to whom Fortune has provided wealth is stronger
 than the Wise Guidance of nature.
They created a lot of entertainment bypassing natural reproduction.


Yes, hedonism and children are poorly compatible.
And Selfishness, the usual companion
hedonism, is the second enemy of children.

This is why the rich countries of Europe are losing unborn children
in the younger generation.
They age quickly and lose those who are able to work.

When there were few selfish hedonists in Europe,
then there were many creators, thinkers, scientists and good workers.

There are many old people now more than youth.
Moreover, the young do not want give birth, raise, teach and
involve your children in the work.

And so, in the Euro-countries there is an influx
of emigrants from the countries of the East.
Ah, if they assimilated with peoples of Europe.
And if, nevertheless, they merged with them into a single friendly family.
 That would be great.

But they, like "silent conquerors", are coming.
 They carry their "world", their customs, their culture.
And they will bury the Great Heritage of Europe under their heels.

So Byzantium fell under a foreign people.
So, Orthodox Jesus in the Middle East lost almost all of his flock.

Yes, Turkey is a wonderful country.
But was it so easy for the Byzantine Orthodox to accept the suddenly
 alien faith customs, orders and new laws?

Once Napoleon said:
"If the people do not want to feed their army,
 That will soon be forced to feed someone else's."

My retelling of his aphorism is close to the topic:
"If a Man does not want to raise his children,
then soon he will have to support the children of strangers."

So you will live a barren apple tree, leaving no descendants on Earth.
And your layer will dissipate like the smoke of an extinguished fire.
Will you like this, my reader? I don’t think so.

The hour will come, I will go to God,
But I believe before I die
What many people will want to get rid of their stupid desire:
"That they will live a childless life,
In their immeasurable selfishness."

And praising God, they will give birth to children,
When nature is favorable to them in this.

After all, our ancestors carefully brought us up and cherished us through suffering and hard work.
So that we can continue their family, their glory, by creating our creations.

After all, only our children can pass on to their descendants
A beautiful synthesis of Faith, Ethics and Law,
As well as a love for High Art,
And Knowledge secrets of biological, technical, and medical.

And only through the joint efforts of all our children,
they will not be lost for centuries, but will be preserved and grow.

After all, only by strengthening their social strength and intelligence, they will achieve victory over all the cataclysms of nature.

Already, civilization has in store for them so much that they can cope with any adversity.
If they live together and work together.


The simple truth is needed by all people:


Good and Living was created by God (or nature)
And in this living thing - the peak: a man.
He attained the power of nature with his mind.
He accelerated the creation of nature hundreds of times.
He must become the Father of all Good on Earth.

He will achieve this when he knows himself.
When he realizes that it is good for people and nature
Today, tomorrow and in the "Beautiful distant".


"Beautiful Far Away" is a dream born in 1985.
 This song by the composer Yevgeny Krylatov on the verses of the poet
Yuri Entin.

Here is one line from it:
"... From a pure source to the Beautiful Far,
To the Beautiful Far, I begin the path ..."

Hopefully this is the path of many heroes.

The pioneers, having laid the foundations, will be confident of success then, when this business is handed over to the right hands, of descendants glorious hardworking and thinking.

They will pass it on wisely without haste.
And with the firm knowledge that
Life is Good throughout the Earth
Will live in future centuries.


... The hour will come, I will go to God,
        But hope for our Life ...
                eternal ... I do not lose at all !!!

Спасибо, Виталий, что обратили внимание на эту публикацию.

Пока что наш русский язык знают многие жители из наших бывших союзных республик и дружественных СССР стран. Но скоро наступит время, когда другие языки станут более популярными. И английский - уже сейчас самый распространённый.

"Закон Платона" - главная тема моего творчества (жизни). Её я хочу довести до сведения всех русскоязычных и англоязычных читателей, несмотря на мои скромные языковые и литературные возможности.

Всего хорошего.
