'great soul'
To a Mahatma, "great soul".. on the road of defeat pushed deeper pulled defeated sad your eyes stared through the greyness and saw it all your deep eyes stared through the fog and saw the love within the wall ... gentle gentle soul sublime life affirming our buried dreams by your payment we are saved to make you pay but you pay and without hate stand in the hall of defeat you stand where cows dance a jig you stand where betrayal is progress and power is the bigger gun... you stand and sing the dream .. by your payment we are saved to make you pay t'is your payment that saves us ... just! to make YOU pay but you pay and without hate stand in the hall of defeat you stand in the graveyard of trampled flowers your eyes die .....in a gentle kiss

Some pay to play and some play and others pay their way, but in the end, the balance sheet reads, "All debts cancelled due to bankruptcy."
