children of Sodom

darek kondefer - instalation of contemporary art under the title the children of Sodom

I, formed of clay and dust, do not understand. Is this how it should be? Is this how your unlimited wisdom looks like? Ten could not be found, but there were children. Is the death of the innocent allowed? Is your name Moloch? I, the clay pot, must understand in order to believe.

Cursed be the second day! We were made frail – you decided so. Blinded by the pride of inhospitability, we became flooded by fire. This is your plan – the sword and the flame, pillars of ash and salt.

Do you know that after you, others will follow the path of destruction? And the next city will not be Zoara.
