The boredom and cruelty of the adult world, what else is left except perfunctory and cowardice? So he escaped the adult world and stayed in childhood. Refuse to grow, stop growing.
Drumming for fun and escape. Witnessing in beating, dream broken in beating, awakening in beating. Look out for a few broken drums.
You can't always refuse to grow. Face the reality and be brave and take responsibility. In the constant beating of life, accept life. Grow up in beating until it emerges from its cocoon.
Mind and responsibility, from resisting adults to choosing to grow.
