Longing for the Silver Age
"The world is full of people, yet so few are truly men."
— Diogenes Laërtius, 3rd century BC.
A flaw is clear—no need to wonder,
The mob’s "mind" crumbles day by day.
They drown in ignorance and blunder,
As slaves, they crawl and waste away.
So low they fall—can we still name them
As human, thinking, standing tall?
No, let the past shine bright to tame them—
The Silver Age... To this, let fall!

Heart, Stomach, Soul, and Mind
The heart pumps blood—its duty given,
To feed the gut—it's supper time.
Day after day, the same dominion,
The fool forgets all thought of conscience,
Drowns in the feast, numbed by the grime.
Then stumbles on—a life so hollow,
The fading soul, a lost regret.
To eat, to sleep, then dust to follow—
A walking corpse that lingers yet.

Hell on Earth
The herd is worse than beasts of fable,
More than monsters dulls their sight.
Hell's dark gate swings wide and able—
Opened simply. That's the plight.
Few would dare to glimpse its warning,
Thus, the world is doomed to drown.
Mindless masses keep descending,
Hitting depths—yet sinking down.
Past the bottom, cracks are showing,
Doom is near—a closing trick.
Yet the surface—smooth, unknowing,
Lies have made the crowd go sick.

The Blaze of Knowledge in Earthly Hell
A fruitless task—each hour trying
To grasp Hell’s depths, to make it plain,
To shape its horror into sayings.
And through verse? Still more confining.
Few can bear the blaze defining—
Lose its fire, and you're restrained,
Drowned in Lies, forever chained.
A fruitless task—if judged by vision,
Truth is granted through decision,
Only honest hearts may find it.
Fools get lies, a wage—then grind it.
