When a person's sanity is at balance,
when human passion is raging,
no etiquette must get in the way.

i will be building a dam, when there is a pussy flood.
for i am a collector of nature, and a lover of its treasure.
i will use my savings, to quench those thirsty, and lubricate those angry,
for i have suffered and suffered; the pain and anguish.
