The Big Bang of being born; immediate disturbance in the universe as you know it, warped faith that nothing halts the twin moons of disappointment and despair.
Reactionary tides wash snake oil residue of substances and words, promising false bargains, empty lies, and distorted misunderstandings.
Growling hunger to know, beneath the haze, beyond the babble of convention,
bottomed out and finding faith, seeking comfort in one’s own great heart.

“Seeking comfort in one’s own great heart.” Nice. Doesn’t Johnny Clegg use the phrase “great heart” in one of his songs?
