Om Eternal Pollution of a Dented Mind
Description
"I am not a poet I just write. These pieces are a collection of my
musings and it is the first time that I am publishing my writing
without drawings, photos or paintings to accompany the words. This is
very scary since I see myself primarily as an artist but these pieces
are about the soul, life, s**t, rubbish, beauty, love, hate, mental
confusion, light and darkness. You might wonder if they are
autobiographical but I will remain mute regarding that detail since I
have a fervent imagination and what is truth anyway?
Something very dubious if you ask me.
Just read and see where the words take you."
