When strangers on a train conspire to murder, what the universe experiences is an unbalance, a sense of unhinged instability that such souls could act as each other’s alibi to cause harm and confound the restoration of balance.

Sexuality and faith have never been reliable bed-fellows, the angst that exists between the two states of human need and suffering is only countered by dogma and the words of interpretation; to be different, to love against doctrine and the word of theological study, is to face, in some quarters, questions, if not exile.

Politics is a game of wills, the necessity of horse trading played out on a global scale and one in which the sides change so quickly that any gains made one individual are soon scattered to the dusty footnotes of history. It is a game that when played well deserves its own satire, the weak and ineffective politicians get forgotten, the ones who scramble to the top have no other choice but to face the fact that even in death they will be satirised and parodied by the best of writers.

There is always a deep meaning to art that might not be first gleaned upon by the layman or the average discerning follower of artistic fashion, just as there is always a hidden motive and significance to murder. Both schools of interpretation look deeply and find sense where they must, both offer value and worth to human understanding and yet murder never imitates art but art is playful in its appreciation of the blackest of all deeds.
