“We need to search no dungeon depths
TheyAre not there, just darkness
We only have to contemplate
The azure of the seas
We also need that one
Who in the stellar heavens
Will see us and defeat our enemies
In the battle waged for us
We can do everything strongly
To love, to suffer and to Be”

“It gained cruelty, becoming harder and more practical with time, and all the knowledge helps it, too
To see us, not among its friends, but fallen down, and then buried
And with it gaining the appearance of a human, we are just its food, we, Farmers of our Mother Earth.”
( by Nick Jacobson)
