What happened to us? Life is a struggle... no time for friends and only enemies leave roses.
Life is full of violence, the violence ends. Dollar-Bill, the Silhouette, Captain metropolis... We never die a natural death.
Does not work.
Perhaps it is in our blood? Some animal instincts compel us to fight, making us what we are?
It doesn't matter. We do what we must to do.
Others are hiding their heads between swollen teats of indulgence and the indulgence of their caprices, pigs, writhing in search of asylum... but there is no refuge... and the future like a train flying down the slope.
Blake understood. Meant it as a joke, but he understood. He saw the flaws in society, saw the little man in the mask, trying to change them... He saw the true face of the twentieth century and chose the path of blame, a parody of it. But no one saw anything funny. That's why he was alone.
