puzz-le of the mine-d

...

que$tions? que$tions? so divine-d - sabotage under(m/l)ined.

(*)*(*)*

patterns, pathways entwined (entwined pathways, patterns)

(*)*(*)* - {follow the road to the end}

chemcial inba-lances start and end, psych-o-societal

)*)8((*** - {the road end to the follow)

misery-able lives start or end, causal, gene-rational

do we have POWer over/it? Do we?

Are we curs###-ed? Are we?

posi+ive thinking - finding good in bad, finding light in dark

can't cure a negat-ve dec.imatel world

negat-ve thinking - pragmatism, deepression, realism, deepression

can't sully a posi+ive proton mind

predisposed to my-isery or happening-i-ness

finding joy in the du(joy)ll, the dis-posable(joy)mal

is that really joy? Is it?

when bad (sad no sign of glad) outweighs the good (brood, you know we should)

nice sunset in a poisoned warld

not some some some thing to marvel at

reason to survive the smash*ed c-gl-ass-ic outcome

when poison blots out that sun###-set

a punish-ment

an embarrass-ment - frustraking cassette uwnound and twitsed

strawberry-laced with ricin and nicotine
