That has always seemed to me one of the stranger aspects of literary fame: you prove your competence as a writer and an inventor of stories, and then people clamour for you to make speeches and tell them what you think about the world.

The Man Who Stole The Holy Fire
He was the man
who stole the holy fire
he was the bringer
of all violence
he is the one
who's dictated all desire
the worlds destiny
was in his hands.
Inventor, creator, destroyer
the three estates of the world.
All in one. Inventor, creator,
destroyer the three estates of the world.
He was the man
who stole the holy fire
he was the maker
of the ugliest dream
became a thief,
a criminal, a liar
a survivor of the good and of the mean
The master of melancholy
he wants to sing the song of military
the feud is deeper
than ever this battle won't be finished, no never.

Screwballs
Screwballs here, screwballs there,
screwballs seem to be everywhere.
You walk down the street
and what do you meet?
Another screwball at your feet.
What makes so many people odd?
Surely it can't be blamed on God.
So who do we blame? Can it be
blameless that we as a society
have created the screwballs in our sight?
Having to deal with a life of need
starts a human's tiny seed
to burst forth into an emptiness.
And the saturated brain starts its fall
And the end result creates a screwball.
