In a post-truth and fake news-saturated world where narratives compete for a place in the minds of people, Dreams of a Psychopath is a plea for a saner world. It is a plea directed at those whose conscience is in deep slumber or those who have turned their backs on the world as long as their lives are safe and secure. The poet takes on the role of an agent provocateur who wants to scream loudly into the ears of those who have shut themselves to the injustices of the world. And in his mission he is both a dreamer and a psychopath who wants to right the wrongs of the past and rewrite history not from the victor’s point of view but with the blood and sweat of the vanquished.
