When asked about race...

"Well, when I went to the bathroom I was Russian, and when I came out I was Finnish."

So often we see a withering tree
Standing there alone in winter’s cold day
That eyes are blind to snowflakes floating free
Floating free to this snowy winter’s sway
So often we see life as a season
And fly through toil on a single wing
We will complain of life without reason
As our reason hides in a frozen spring
How conceited we are, even so blind
That we’ve left wisdom and truth far behind
