Your claim that DQ is none other than sq. This is a fundamental distinction which you fail to appreciate. Failing to do so creates your ongoing mess resulting in your confusion.

That strange flower, the sun,
Is just what you say.
Have it your way.

The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.

That tuft of jungle feathers,
That animal eye,
Is just what you say.

That savage of fire,
That seed,
Have it your way.

The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.
