Robert Johnson
At the crossroads
of life
he made
a pact
with the devil
and became
the blues alchemist
with his music
opens the gates
of heaven.
Tesla
In love with a pigeon
without memory of his homeland
in a distant land
magic and physics
merges into the same thing.
Thunder Juggler
stolen and powerless
it leaves a huge mark on humanity.
And so in the dark
at the end of the tunnel
you can see the light
called Nikola Tesla.
Sign
Twelve
shapes
of the same
dance
in front
of the cathedral
has been
repeated
for centuries
mystical ritual
of dead sailors.
Bell
Tower
as a shield
silent
voice
it reaches
everyone
who
have will
to hear.
