The biggest challenge
for the sweet, sensitive souls
who uncover life's
cruel hoax is really to not to
come to the bitterness

You know, that usually accompanies
this discovery

Yeah, I find spiritual practice is, of course
the best defense, you know
the prayer, meditation, stillness

I have known so many brilliantly
talented geniuses who use their
own intellect against themselves

You know, like the thorns of a rose
growing inward on itself
