Shadows of God

When I look at the world, I see so much that disturbs me: inner and outer destruction, exploitation driven by hunger and greed for power and influence. Often times, this goes together with that powerful menace of self-delusion, spiritual bondage, and religious misguidance - a symbiosis almost too strong to be broken apart. This is the cause of my anguish and disturbance ¿ unfolded in pointed, sometimes offensive poems that try to analyze those manifold scenarios of destruction. And then there is this wide field of self-analysis - surely nothing for the faint of heart. As you dive in, you will see. However, one thing is important to me: it is not my intention to criticize any true religious (or Christian) search for truth and the practice of rules and rites that bear God¿s love in a humble and considerate mind ¿ for this would destroy the grounds I am based upon. Furthermore, these poems do not represent final statements or judgments in any way, but are part of my quest for freedom, wisdom and guidance.
