Part II: Intro

(Background music)

A relentless moral paragon in the times of the second cold war, hiding in the shadows of a world that doesn't understand him.

He is mad. Madly in love with this world, yet he understands he must be largely alone because he will never be understood.

Yet, his spirit is so unrelenting, his love for the world so immense, he will never give up on rectifying it. He is too dead inside to care about the very norms that alienate the world...

He's a moral, philosophical mastermind, rejected as an eccentric by most people. Yet, he slowly grows to accept the solitude of genius, no matter where he is, no matter with whom he is. It doesn't matter. He is a wise fool.

Geniuses are always alone in their mind, no matter what they are experiencing, and with whom they are experiencing. In love, in war... It never matters what happens... The genius is always a detached man or woman...

Even when immersed in thought or in emotion, the detachment is still there. It's called meta-cognition. Meta-cognition always leads to detachment, no matter how much one understands, no matter their experience-based intelligence.

He feels so much and he loves everyone and everything, yet resorts to hermitage... and always will... in one way or another.

He might be dismissed as a villain despite being a hero. Despite the mutual rejection by the world, he is happy the people he saved are alive.

Deep inside, he wishes people will keep having faith in being alive... He wishes everyone to be strong. To be mentally tough, and thus to mentally survive any ordeal they might ever come to face...

He laughs in clarity; He laughs in "madness", perceived only by you, the readers... and then breaks in song...

Part III: Elementary To Me.... A Poem

(Background music)

We all live in this world,

Whether or not we are on our own.

We breathe the same air,

And ignorance of this is very unfair!

Our brains resume to rot,

Not understanding true strength comes from within.

Somehow I find myself,

Understanding this mainly in hermitage!

I REFUSE,

TO GIVE UP,

MY HEART AGAIN,

I REFUSE AND I REFUSE!

I'M SO UNRELENTING,

FOR A BETTER WORLD,

YOU LOVELY FOOLS!

Let your light be your refuge,

Stop growing overly attached to me,

It is your sacred duty,

To continue saving yourselves from yourselves!

I retain my solitude,

For I know most people won't comprehend...

Minds cannot achieve...

What they often fail to conceive!

I REFUSE, GIVING UP,

I AM RELENTLESS,

I WILL SCREAM, AND I WILL WORK,

UNTIL THE VERY END,

FOR YOU IT IS FUNNY...

DON'T COMPREHEND!!!

[Pause]

My birth was traumatizing,

For the cheers of others were not satisfying,

For many it is a great thing,

Yet I wasn't understood since the day I was born!

I was born a ruthless ascetic,

Who always liked to mainly keep to himself,

I don't understand most attachments,

Yet interconnectivity is elementary to me!

HOW IN THE WORLD,

THE FACT THAT WE ALL,

SHARE THE SAME WORLD,

HOW IN THE WORLD DOES THIS,

ONLY ELEMENTARY,

MAINLY TO ME....

TO ME???

I pray to you all,

That you will understand the power within you,

To march forth and stop whining,

To see your weakness as something worth, giving up!

To stop always complaining,

Because you would have the strength that will help you stop caring,

About this world's darkness,

Its weakness and its heartlessness!

I REFUSE,

GIVING UP,

TO SUCH A SILLY WORLD,

SO EXPLOITATIVE WORLD,

INTERCONNECTIVITY,

ELEMENTARY....

MAINLY TO ME!!
