dark faceless features
stare from mirror to mirror
into endless void
soft power of love
civilizing the wild man
harlot of culture
Inspired by "The Epic of Gilgamesh"
hubris not wisdom
is ruling the current world
it will end in tears
it always does
Blind Polyphemus
shepherds his dull flock of sheep.
Ulysses long gone.
Keep grazing.
Give wool and meat.
Be meek.
wake up. wake up now.
listen. closer. can you hear?
a heart. yours. beating.
the most beautiful and comforting
sound in the world
born an empty sheet
traits and external forces
affect your choices

so, death is certain
all the time before the end
is yours to paint green
Try your best.
