[hometext] => Evil lives in the skin
[bodytext] => All on our knees, afraid to stand or God forbid walk Hiding from the infinity, and awaiting reassurance of safety and righteousness. Because the evolving monkey when turning its face upward had to fear the sky and hide itself in caves. Because the primitive man attributed his own raw brutality to the heavens and invented the Hell where he would place his enemies. Because we lock ourselves in homes keeping a watchful eye on our neighbors and distancing ourselves from the sky and distancing ourselves from nature. But we were never given any reason to be afraid from the moment free will came to us we had a perfect system of food, growth, death and renewal of art music and culture All laid out in front of us. And what that was asked of us in return was only that we trust it and that we sustain it. But we looked up into the sky and the whole world wasn't enough for us We screamed in selfish fear and then invented Hell.
