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
