lyrics
Wear it like armor, right? Before the explore, expand, understand of enlightened people forgets that third step and becomes conquer, subjugate, erase. It starts simply. Rainfall less than expected, reasonable discourse. Debate me, you coward! And who knows when the balance tips. Now there is no rain, no crops, no pride, no Baba Yar. Starving we clutch protective amulets. Terrified we huddle under rainbow blankets seeking a return to just a few years back when maybe things weren't perfect but we had enough to eat, we had enough to hope. Trying to understand, like playing an instrument on your shoulders. We hear a single note, so the notes are fine. But when you learn to understand, you can play something beautiful in it's own self. To play it at right angles and with a very deep voice. And then maybe actually be enlightened. And the rains will fall and we won't be seen as absurd demonic caricatures, but just people.
