DEMON DAZE
Do not think people are possessed by demons… people are demons! They rape and pillage the Earth, poison the environment and air, wage wars amongst themselves, cause their fellow men, women and children psychological and physical harm, murder animals on an industrial scale, and drive countless life forms to extinction. Comparing humans to swarms of locusts is an insult to nature, because while these insects come and go, humans continue their nasty habits 24/7, on an ever-increasing scale. Surely, people are well underway to their own extinction, destroying their own habitat on the beautiful and magical Earth. A sad story, but they are causing their own demise. So much sadder for all the innocent, beautiful, shattered life forms that man drags into his fall. Oh, yes… people ARE demons! Thus spoke Bebárdo.

There’s nothing kind about man“

“Man’s enemies are not demons,
but human beings like himself”

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you:
“This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more”
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him:
“You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine”

Survival is the exception“
