You can fall out of a tree pose with ease, or with frustration and a sense of defeat.

And the seas of pity lie
Locked and frozen in each eye.

Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie. It rots a land and corrupts a people like any other lie, and by and by the white light of God's truth shines clear through it, and shows it to be a lie.
