I wrote this as a meditation on monster slaying, Nietzsche’s warning about becoming what we hate, and the strange human longing to be seen as righteous conquerors.
The deeper I wrote, the more the poem stopped being about “evil people” and became about projection, ego, violence, and the seductive desire for moral coronation.
It also became a reflection on the triumphal entry imagery of Christ — not entering on a war horse, but on a colt — and what happens when we rewrite ourselves as the savior instead.
This is a dark cinematic spoken-word piece about blood-lust, self-deception, and discovering that the monster was never fully outside us.
I wrote this poem reflecting on what stays with us after time passes — illness, shame, aging, fear, and all the years that leave their marks. Yet, through every season, one truth remains:
“I am loved.”
A tender neo-soul confession about growing older beside someone who never stopped staying.
Why I Reject Collectivism for Existentialism: Pushing Up Against Gravity, Not Falling Back Into It is a spoken word adaptation of an article released today, aimed at those who prefer reflection through listening rather than reading.

Fading began in confinement in 2022 and was completed upon my release in 2026.
It is a meditation on impermanence—on identity, time, and the gradual dissolving of what we assume to be solid. From the noise of constructed meaning to the quiet of passing moments, the poem moves toward a single question: what endures when everything fades?
Part 2 of Colossians concerning Substance and shadows.
There’s a difference between looking like you have faith… and actually living from it.
This is about substance, not shadows.
In this spoken-word reflection on Colossians 2:16–19, we explore the quiet drift from the living Christ into shadows — rituals, patterns, traditions, and memories that can subtly replace the reality they were meant to point toward.
“These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.” Paul warns against letting outward performances and familiar structures disqualify us or disconnect us from the Head, from whom the whole body grows with a growth that is from God.
This piece calls us back to active anchoring in the living reality of Christ — not inherited echoes or efficient shadows, but embodied encounter with the One who is the substance.
What happens to your morality when you enter the crowd?
In this spoken word, I explore a tension raised by Gustave Le Bon and echoed in the Gospel of John—that crowds, while powerful, can quietly erode individual agency.
This is not a rejection of people, but a reflection on something deeper:
the difference between choosing truth… and simply being carried by it.
In a world driven by noise, momentum, and collective certainty, this piece asks a simple but unsettling question:
Are you choosing… or just being carried?
These sayings are some of the wisdom I have considered recently, and now integrate into my own philosophy of life. Maybe this will be useful to you as to myself.
Most Christians love the idea of unity… until it costs something. Ephesians 3:6 drops a bomb: former pagans aren’t just added to God’s people — they’re co-heirs, co-bodied, and co-partakers in one new humanity. No room for superiority, rage, or the tribalism we hide behind doctrine. This mystery wrecked me recently… and it might wreck you too. Watch till the end.
