I am here for Friends

About Me

Lawyer by training, politician by profession, artist by nature, I am Hydra in modern time, I possesses many heads but vague heart. A New Prometheus, I am nailed to a rock to be gnawned by a vulture.

The love of glory like the bridge that Satan built to pass from Chaos across Hell to Paradise; glory link the past and the future across a bottomless abyss. Nothing to my future sons except my name!
