Analysis of THE WORLD IS AN EGG




The world is an egg
And the universe of the dim-gods
Where:
           Hard work is never a reward of good labors
           Loyalty is never a sign of favor
           Humble service is just mere play
           Merit never counts
           Godfatherism is the auspicious gateway
           To all things
           Life has become how far you can connect
          And the game of the giants.
