Stay calm and quiet,
while the voice within bids you riot.
Though of the lies you're thoroughly annoyed,
breathe a word and they'll brand you paranoid.

It is hard indeed to find a reason,
when the soul of world seems void.
But if you stubbornly refuse to bend,
you will win through in the end.

For the spirit must journey through slime,
before it can turn sublime.

Corollary:
Give me an army of lovers,
and I shall conquer bureaucracy!
Nah! Not really...
… but maybe, just maybe...
This one takes comic delight at bureaucracy, the quagmire the world has descended into, where love or triumph is perhaps impossible or indiscernible. Plato and his army of lovers had it easy.
