Journey in a forest
Ali Jan 2019
Peter Marduk: Baffled as he got faded into the Forest addled. Walks, his feet shredded by thorns ripped. Runs, his head full of scars left by cruel branches, he is hurt but sprints yet - dwindles in a ditch, beguiled into a murderous pit."
Sometimes wandering in a forest looks like a path we walk every day in our lives.
From the play 'Peter Marduk the mad hermit'
Ali Jan 2019
Thy pride is as ancient as the splendor sun,
Thy flame is as old as the ashes of eternal glory,
Thy wrath is as wretched as the false marbles of Nero,
What giveth thee such wicked pride, thy over charring flames:
Thy envy or greed is as vast as the unbinding waves;
Twas by chance a ray of light you saw by blunder:
Why did all the scorching heat turn Into morbid ice,
Life’s a shadow; more you insist more wretched thee become,
Long agone before thy birth, angels bowed before thee:
What giveth thee such wicked pride or thy undying flames,
Thou shan’t creep to darkness nor fret over the long winter,
Thou art prey to thy desire, slave to sweet temptations,
In thy gods name thee eagerly trample upon countless souls:
You have forgotten that you are meant to be human,
Proud is what you are, pride is all you have for eternity,
May thee remember; why and whence thee came in.

— The End —
