Don’t listen t

            
o what you’ve 

           
consumed
            
It’s chaos, co

           
nfusion and wh

        
olly unworthy
            
Of feeding and

            
 it’s wholly u

         
ntrue
            
You may feel n

            
o purpose nor 

            
a point for ex


isting
            
It’s all just 

            
conjecture and

                  
 gloom
            
And there may 

            
not be meaning

            
, so find one 

      
and seize it
            
Do not waste y

            
ourself on thi
