Poisoned Century
Poison is a metaphor for immortal love in Rome and Juliet and for perfidious murder and betrayal in Hamlet- Prince of Denmark.

In nature some of the most beautiful creatures are toxic to defend themselves from their enemies.
Since poison gas is used as a weapon of mass destruction until today, a feast of delicate venomous delicacies would make a good solution for the suffering of the world because of some toxic human beings. I would love to serve some certain people stuffed blue ringed octopus or draft frog’s leg.
Murder Ballads is the name of an album by Nick Cave, in a metaphorical way a most visionary title for the spirit of the 21-century.
