Quotes by M.F.C. Assoum (?)

“From within myself I hear it speak,
 Why bother when life is so bleak?
 Shouldn’t you be chasing and drinking and dancing? Shouldn’t you be playing and cursing and running? 
I felt this rage burn, grow and churn,  
Scream, Yell and Fight
 Burst out of my chest with all its might,  
Cover-up my sweet desire, for today you conspired,  Against me your former friend,  
On this day you shall meet your end.”
― M.F.C. Assoum, Strike of Lightning
