"laughed...alot :) besides the fact that this was brewed with all of the spices of arrogance, sexiness, and a wink - it's sharp edged humor is both a pleasant blow to my idealistic view of romance and a shared inside joke with my every sense of practical truth, lol - Thank you for this! ~Withering~"

"There's definitely a precaution when it comes to love - especially by those who have been hurt in love before....but embracing it is a beautiful thing...it's always a toss up I guess, harder for some than others - is tommorrow's pain worth today's happiness? anywho - thought provoking write :) ~Withering~"

""others lack motivation and become slaves to the path of least perceived suffering" - "The path to understanding is not straightforward, it's 3 steps back, 4 steps forward...." - utters truth in every verse and echoes the human condition - well done, as always *Bows* ~Downstream~ "

""I find no contradiction in that sense of "God." The contradictions begin to come when humans try to wrestle that vast concept into "rules and regulations". - I couldn't agree more Sketso. "

"questions that are all - valid. But I tend to think that its not God .... but us. I'm sure if the world were a highs chool God would be that young English teacher that all the Jocks have talked about time and again on how they've "tapped" that and then got heated up and fought over who really "had her." I hope God forgives me for the poor analogy (to a highschool english teacher at that!) but its the only way I could express it at the moment - I hated God for a while, for exactlyy these questions - but much more of the contradictions and the hypocracy comes from us than can actually be linked to God...and I guess in the end it comes down to rather or not we want to hold God accountable or ourselves(How can He not be accountable, He's the ultimate point of origin for everything, right?) - But I try to rationalize what I can and hope that one day when I do meet Him (if allowed to, lol, I don't know if He likes Cynics)I'm sure I'll have alot of questions for Him. Do I make any sense? lol - much appreciated work, ~Downstream~"

"I loved the last two stanzas - "Had I not known that I was dead already I would have mourned my loss of life My one wish is to live in the capital of non-action " - brilliant. ~Downstream~ "

""I've never had a nationality the whole world is my home" - I hear you loud and clear - I'm mixed - so to speak - God, I'm soo many different things, I'm half Egyptian, a quarter Irish, and a quarter Cherokee Indian - and I've visited so many different countries - and when people ask me where I'm from, or who I am, my response is "I'm a citizen of the world," - this poem hits home for me, definitely another favorite, I Like your work :) ~Downstream~ "

"-The ocean, tripped and fell into the land, overwhelming an over-funded but inadequate levee system demand. - 1.5 billion USD from one peasant to another - This poem is filled with wittingly crafted, eye opening lines - its a "slap-in-the-face" poem - one much needed. This is definitely a favorite. Thank You. ~Downstream~"
