““I’m T. Thorne Rose and I did it hard Til I wound up dyin in the Zen schoolyard Can’t you see it’s more important here to use your brain Than to poison up your body killin other people’s pain Yes, it’s Other People’s Pain, That’s a trick you might have missed So let your Sister Rosie hip you to this little twist The news, the Blues, the pain, the strain, the lies we’ve heard since birth Are only true if we, ourselves, think that’s what life is worth But when you realize that we are all Queens and Kings You’ll drop the death, take a deep breath, and hear life when it sings Don’t get lost and washed away like a teardrop in the rain No abuse of any kind has ever come to any gain Sister T. Thorn Rose from the group Goldensealed””
