But at the same time, there's that moment where, "What if they get the secret and they think the secret is stupid?!"

Matt Reeves

It is the privilege of the rich To waste the time of the poor To water with tears in secret A tree that grows in secret That bears fruit in secret That ripened falls to the ground in secret And manures the parent tree Oh the wicked tree of hatred and the secret The sap rising and the tears falling.
