Because the garden is full of thorns.
The journey sometimes took to a booth
And there the life was full of horns.

In order to keep the value of honesty.
Without a ladder, you are told to hold the Moon’s hem
Because the world never fills any kind of satiety.

And there is no case of discrimination.
