I am not a politician..I only suffer the consequences.

To have the truth in your possession you can be found guilty, sentenced to death.

I've got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again....

I'm on my way to happiness. Where I can find some peace and rest.

How old is the sun? Sun not temporary, not chronological. There is the terra-celestial and the celestial. I am celestial, mon. I am here, there and everywhere. I live among men so I must adjust myself. When I go to other planet, I must adjust myself there, too, mon.

Are some flowers more beautiful than others? The garden is beautiful. Do I prefer brother over brother? Comparisons are part of this political world. Where there is one, there is no conflict. Where there is two or more, there is conflict. Two is the devil. Conflict begin with the devil. We count 0 to 1, then back to 0. It is a circle.

I can't blame people, at this rate, for not wanting to volunteer.
