    But that was a lot of years ago, but Alvin had a son named Jesus ... I think? Levon was all about the money and Jesus .. well we'll talk about that later.

    Anyway, Levon is keeping tradition with the family plan and shall be a good man. Do you think God is dead?

    Alvin had a son named Levon who had a son named Jesus...

    Levon wears his war wound like a crown
    He calls his child Jesus 'cause he likes the name
    And he sends him to the finest school in town
    Levon, Levon likes his money
    He makes a lot they say
    Spends his days counting
    In a garage by the motorway
    He was born a pauper
    To a pawn on a Christmas day
    When the New York Times
    Said God is dead and the war's begun
    Alvin Tostig has a son today
    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    And he shall be Levon
    In tradition with the family plan
    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    He shall be Levon
    Levon's sells cartoon balloons in town
    His family business thrives
    Jesus blows up balloons all day
    Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
    And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
    Leave Levon far behind
    Take a balloon and go sailing,
    While Levon, Levon slowly dies
    He was born a pauper
    To a pawn on a Christmas day
    When the New York Times
    Said God is dead and the war's begun
    Alvin Tostig has a son today
    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    And he shall be Levon
    In tradition with the family plan, woo
    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    He shall be Levon
    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    And he shall be Levon
    In tradition with the family plan, woo
    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    He shall be Levon

    "God is dead: of his pity for man hath God died."—

    So be ye warned against pity: FROM THENCE there yet cometh unto men a heavy cloud! Verily, I understand weather-signs!

    But attend also to this word: All great love is above all its pity: for it seeketh—to create what is loved!

    "Myself do I offer unto my love, AND MY NEIGHBOUR AS MYSELF"—such is the language of all creators.

    All creators, however, are hard.—

    Thus spake Zarathustra.

    Incredible and I can't say I disagree, but with that hardness likewise cones a velvet touch equal to

    Here's a thought .. if the creator/s are all loving and all mercuful, meaning from never truly beginning to the never ending end of, how hard and severe do you think the wrath of might be towards those Who ... Umm ... Oppose that love and mercy?

    This theme, "is God dead," was quite topical in early 1966 capturing headlines on the NY Times, Time Magazine and many local rags.

    Something similar surface later on when the meme became "is Paul dead?"

    Healthy are those with healthy mind. Some are in so much need and so determined to live under old paradigms coupled with an insistence to refuse the very things they need to be well that the need is nearly beyond comprehension, but there's a light, albeit a tiny one that still shines in that kind of darkness. The sickness is sometimes so severe the very thought of being different parylizes and they become so filled with fear they can't even seem to think.

    Yes ... Some are in dire need of help. Live and let live, freedom to be, and don't force us to be like you is a decent rule if thumb. No harm no foul, but when forced wills and unhealthy minds clash ... Disaster soon follows.
