Elaborate deception

                                     Love in Cultural Ruins

You see in the prettiest rooms of silken throws,

whitened faces, abuse lurks clothed in allure,

prized in this charming occasion.
After the spectacle, spaces darken with scripts and labels.

We are alone,

always alone, with the promise of silence,
making origami dreams that will never shudder. 

(from the book: Ruptures and Fragments)

Culture and society teaches us to live in extravagance and excess, no need for morality at the summit. It intends without sentiments to widen the gap between the rich and the poor. Whilst the poor are dying the rich live in an egotistical, beautified elaborate deception. Yet loneliness creeps in, to be human, to nurture the true essence is that which makes us happy. So lets challenge so-called and the corrupting aspects of culture. Let's not sell our free will for a false sense of security and acceptance within the culture/society that we live in. Let us break free.

love and peace, that's it for tonight folks, see you sooon xxx
