""They only get arm loads of refuse I trudge around with a junkyard on my back and all I hear is "Hey, can you take this too?" - Powerful line - what you long for is something we're all searching for - and the weight of the world is ours - unfortunately - lets carry it together, and let's try and find joy in those brief moments that pass by - we have to find something to hold on to. Great Write, Thank You ~Downstream~"

""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~ "

"it's our connection to the (our) world (that we've created). How could we not be addicted?"

""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~"

"soul moving imagery that wrapped me in dark, cool, painfulling soothing silk decorated with images of alleyways carved into the oceans of broken lovers' hearts. Definitely a favorite, Thank You! ~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 felt like an invisible being that you've allowed to walk through your "journey" along with you. Images of vast Churches, Dark alleyways, God and Satan all balanced together, arranged to make one of the most interesting mosaics I've come across, welcome to DP and this is definitely a favorite! ~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~ "

"so many emotions, thoughts that follow each other never fully showing themselves or demonstrating complete cohesion, but always fully comprehended by the one experiencing them. I have a lot of these moments, and you've gone and captured a chapter's worth of diary material in a few lines. Wonderful! ~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~"
