A way out

Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)



What is his obsession with death ?
I don't know, but I guess he wants to know he always has a way out
A way out from what ?
A way from this I assume
I can't know why
But look at him
Death has put his mark on him
But still smiling
Still laughing  like a mad person
Grinning at the world in front of him
Knowing he can do what few others can
Because he is free
