Since Occam’s razorblade

cut the world in half

one dances in the shades

the other round the calf

Plague, thy name is mankind

Mankind, thy breath is death!

The creator of the mirror

poisoned our souls

unleashed the ghost out of the machine

that swallowed nature‘s whole.

In times of slow decay

Strange flowers thrive

Cancerous seeds of ambiguity

poison bees in their hives

A cormorant

born in malthusian times

gargantuan,

a symbol of decline

Down yonder Gabriel

burns down the ark

Above the ruins of simplicity

You can hear the trumpet‘s call

See the Astronomer

upon mountains‘ high

gazing at the endless universe

With an eager eye

Where in the splendour of his solitude

Amongst imploding stars

Harassed only by his loneliness

An old dying god whispers WAR!
