The Damned Hunchbacks...
The Globe emits
its final breath...
There...
where the truth
of time's horizons
is chained,
in the golden
cage of history
distorted to the
annihilation
of the
innocent.
And man...
rejuvenated in
robotic generations,
aged in his
limbs climbing the stairs of greed,
transforms into
dust of vanity.
Among
sighs,
in the bloodied
waterfalls of centuries,
he loses...
mute, deaf,
crippled
the course of
failure, he rows.
Observing the
macabre tableau of breathless nature...
He worships
that which is
plunging him into destruction
and with the
cynicism of soulless souls
he satiates
himself,
so no one dies
of hunger anymore,
except for the
creatures...
little
angels
who even before
being born
render life with
an empty womb,
while
exhausted
in the weary
stride of time
they
crawl...
Even God's
hour
has stopped the
hands...
Others are
those
who are tearing
time apart.
Our planet
with profaned
laws
is stripped into
myths
while
the giants of
dominion
desire to
return.
And we
let them become
so...
Hunchbacks
on our
shoulders
up to the
throne
we carry
them.
Just like
Achilles
under their
hoof
we defend
ourselves
without
admitting
that... for a
long time
we have been
damned...
Prelude
Kneeling in the
dark,
Broken under a
homeless shelter,
companion of
storm in the open air,
Starless,
Moonless
Immersed in mud
full of
thoughts.
Dreaming that
one day I'd get rich
With all that
existed
hands-free,
old-fashioned
digging the
treasure of the same misery
full of torn
corpses.
Prelude
Silent Duel,
Begging for
innocence
Prey to thirsty
blood desires
where the whole,
the nothingness
they come
together forever.
And I continue
to transcend into futility
Disabled, buried
alive
That one day
I will become
comfortable with my own peace.
