sanity mask

Lorenz

'' I am the holy spirit !  I am the sound mind ...

   ............................................................................

death in the octagon always wins .

You're waiting for the judgment 

handed down by puppets dressed 

in black priestly  robes ! 

Presley sings the '' Jailhouse rock  ! ''

Once I 've become a beautiful angel ,

we'll meet again to settle this old score...

blending into the scenary I'm waiting for you

in the enchanted rainbow that carves 

razor sharp arabesques ...

 The moonbird bears my wound .

I'm no longer that jester at the foot of the throne.

 You hate me ,but my calmness scares you .

 I am your reflection ...

The hallway speaks to me like a good old friend .

he's the only one who understands me .

 This world rejects artists .

  We often talk about the randomness of life 

when we should be thinking about the benefits 

of ending it all ...

 All of you will follow me down the hellsway .

I am a good guy,but people don't take time to know me .

My calling was to be a gardener and to pull out

the weeds that hinder the hard work of the honest bees.

 The hive must rest in peace .

  I like what is right .

 In the sink ,I watch a blue fly go crazy  and get swept away 

by the whirlpool .

 I rescued her once ,so that she would feel the weight of sin...

  I show compassion- I didn't clip your wings ...

 There isn't much to do in this backwater ,

so I find solace in religion ! 

  In my solitude philosophers be a great source 

of comfort to me !  

  I like Martin Buber and Adolf Hitler .

The human soul carries within it a seed of indecency

in the form of a sanity mask ...

    The most dangerous person is the one who comes and says, "I know how to make you happy." Because sooner or later, he always brings an axe to cut away what he considers unnecessary.

      A good husband .A good father .A good son . A faithful friend and coworker .
      You pass me by every day .I am just a mask in the crowd .

      A saintly mask is worn by most devils pretending to be holy. A poignant write now that Trump posted himself as pope and God. Well done Lorenz

            Lorenz, this is one intense piece. It feels like stepping into a fractured inner landscape where conviction, isolation, and identity are constantly colliding. It certainly held my attention from beginning to end. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
