And the dark streets where illuminated by the burning souls of confused ideologies.

Tourists taking pictures of melting cultures, whilst eating the fish that float still on the dirty surface of a dark ocean by my feet.I look down at this puddle and see my-self reflected, and i understand that a new dimension needs to be crossed in to clearer waters… But no one seems to know how!It's that impossible moment where we all want to brake the glass from the mirror and meet the strangers on the other side…
