The ProphetSenate, 2002 - 113 עמודים In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts, but he possesses nothing.

... naked . The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin . And he who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song - bird in a cage . The freest song comes not through bars and wires . And he to whom worshipping is a window , to 90.
