Christ


Tired are the nails in your hands.
You’re still breathing, without logic, rhythmless.
Disintegrated.

Murmuring mercy crucified.
Truth and life. All.

Maj, one of the major criteria of intelligence is how many antagonist , ideas, concepts can reside in your brain. The single real genious Hungarian poet of the *** Century, Attila Jozsef ( 1932-37) reading his poems, can be considered communist and liberal, European and nationalist, deeply Catholic and anticlerical, believer and ateist, love and hatred...

" Where freedom is the order, a bit
