The Great Warrior
by Igor Vykhovanets

The Great Warrior

An anecdote.
Once upon a time there were three little pigs Nif-Nif, Naf-Naf and Nuf-Nuf. But there was also a fourth one. He did not hide from the wolf, did not build houses, but walked through the forest and sent everyone to fuck off . And his name was Nah-Nah.


A joke, they say: three pigs once played —
Nif-Nif, Naf-Naf, all bricks and hay.
But there was one who didn’t run,
Built no damn house, just cursed for fun.

The Surplus Value of the Soul
by Igor Vykhovanets

The Surplus Value of the Soul

Once created, this will break
Evil’s law—its harsh mandate.
For by default, it guides the blind
To a savage hell-bound mind.

Mind beneath the Soul? No way—
Lies and chains won’t work that way.
Such a trade defies decree,

In the Dark
by Igor Vykhovanets

The Decline of Poetry

Freedom from rhyme, to hell with the beat,
Forgetting the meaning, the soul's in deceit.
Deceived by the crowd, now a slave to it all,
The Lyre abandoned, few poets stand tall.
A world of hack writers — fools' joy, they will thrive.
"What’s Sense for sheeps?" — to serve Vile and contrive.
And for distraction, petty verse is the deal.
A world in decay, where Reason grows still.

Ruined state
by Luke Dunskey

A black sky.
A marble ceiling.
The crumbling cement cracks with the wind.

An old dog, with gentle grey
under its chin, sleeps on an
overgrown sidewalk.

A half-finished microwave meal, under
a broken chandelier.

A World Where the Herd Prevails
by Igor Vykhovanets

Trusting lies,
Dreaming bread,
Kills the soul
In Hell’s dread.

Waste
by Johnathon B

I see the life at the edges of your eyes,

I know you bear no ill tidings against me but the rot will spread regardless.

Spilling over like a cacophony of coffins thrown into the pits.

A meager soul devoured, luminous being no more.

A waste, but not a shame...
