Let us start with Icarus and his father, Daedalus the architect, who longed to escape the treacherous Minos, king of Crete. Stuck in that tower, months on end, if not years by now, having their spirits frozen in the cold darkness of those lifeless walls. And in his father’s eyes, bearing a parents least favorite thing to witness was the fate that would visit his son.

By Odinge Eigdo

Who dares say they rest on solid ground,

It is harder to live, than to die

one must realize

It is the pain of late nights and early dawn

our father which art in heaven,

‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.’
