Hold not precious the keys to your mind

Fear not intrusions by foreign ideas

Within them often gems you'll find

Let the rest drain out with old salt and urea

.

The idea of virginity is violence, control

Is a tool to oppress, to inhibit your growth

Nutritional thoughts make your mind whole

Are you a bonsai or tremendous oak?

.

Belief is a place-holder for actual knowledge

Belief is helpful for children and fools

Pluck out beliefs, cast them away,

Clear up some room for better tools

.

Don't be a slave to old ideas

You evolve and they can too

Don't get caught by old ideas

Hardening round your feet like glue

.

When you lead yourself there's a chance you´ll stray

When you follow others you certainly will

Trust your own morals and parent yourself

It is a challenging, learnable skill
