" There is no god, our creed is but for ourselves" " Not a hero uless you die, our species eat the wounded ones" Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game " Run away with your impeccable kin!" Good wombs hath borne bad sons... Cursing, god, why? Falling for every lie Survivors' guilt In us forevermore 15 candles Redeemers of this world Dwell in hypocrisy: "How were we supposed to know" *****************************************************************
