More from Wotan
There's not really a lot to explain, here, other than the fact that this is another experimental piece that was constructed from old fragments in my scrap pile.
Essentially it revolves around a rather bitter and pessimistic statement that my late maternal grandfather gave me back in the day, namely:
"One day you'll understand that there's a lot of things in life that just aren't worth the price of admission. Just like anyone, who claims to have the secret, and offers to sell it to you — well, the only real secret is just how quickly they'll empty your wallet."
In the years since, I've often come back to that thought, and gnawed at it like a dog with a favoured bone... Just how may different applications and interpretations of those words that there actually are.

first - 'schlubs' is such a wonderful word...
second - my father used to put old Oral on the TV Sunday morning - we had a black and white set and only one channel. Oral had only one camera. I asked him why, and he said, 'Because it's funny.'
third - I had a Life Magazine from 1936. In it was a picture of the Pope having a face to face meeting with the Grand Dragon of the KKK. Both were garbed in white.
Finding God on your own is the trick. Not many manage. Most are simply too involved with just trying to get by. I'm told bullets and a foxhole help.

The following to be read in the appropriate Southern Drawl -- If you're feeling whimsical enough, I would settle for Foghorn Leghorn:
"End thet, rot thair's one o' thayum hard truths, yes-suh!"
