the jeweller

seperates the jeweller
from the junk-man

One collects bottles
for the return of pennies
the other collects diamonds
for the return of life itself
at a price unmentionable

lsiten.jpg

First of all,
give up everything you know

breathe deep,
let go
and become

I am not your leader, and not your master for sure;
But I have met The Man, who can reveal, your Most Perfect Cure!
