this is a terrific story
that happened by the musician magic and
rumor has it that happened with the
baddichev
maybe it was those three people maybe it

god's kindness is forgiving
tolerant understanding
but it makes us soft
so in order to get to the absolute truth

the process by which you can figure out
how to fuse how to blend
the kindness and truth
