Transcription: All this during Holy Week. The comparison can be made.
Darkness, betrayal, solitary prayer,
wakefulness, dying away and
rebirth & resurrection.

I see everything going on
around me, and I withdraw.
The insanity of political
leaders, the persistent enmity
between the races, the ego
of friends, rather I pull back,
and stay above / away from the fray.
