- "Well, truthfully I wasn't sure it was necessary either as it is a dying myth, but you never know what some might presume I suppose especially since the one I posted right after it was ' Devil is Laughing' (which I might add is obviously not about 'The Devil', but rather myself). True these things become known once you read it through though, so I appreciate you taking the time.Again, Thanks for reading! - Å’"

- "I thought as well and realize that I mention area by state specifically out of morbid humor, my brand of satire, that is really what is going on.I mean in the poem that America suffers itself for Ohio to 'not exist', (for people who don't want to exist?).Then there are Detroit-like places,where people actually Do Not (seem to) exist.Some places are shrouded in darkness so thick it is as though they were abandoned by life itself, are not funded or watched, and become something sick and half-living which refuses to turn into a real ghost town.The Great Lakes left me feeling it was not a a place people should be.It was also a place with a whole lot of copper and steel, (like Liberia), now Detroit's self-crippling car industry makes sense.Native American (Mississippian) folklore had many of it's places marked as inhabited by a mythical dragon of hostile temperament which hoards copper and said to live in the water-table itself - Å’ "

- "If any death/destruction goes with a nation it is the people who go before and after it.I don't know if anyone has ever said that before but I'm saying it now. Respect for the founders or the future isn't negated here, nature is here too in myself and doesn't alter course when judged by human.Man and woman are equally feeble as they are powerful which is not much in the greater scheme of the universe, though by attribute of self we may believe to behold our perceptions. I may have mentioned that some either lacked the insight or the care to survey the land properly, or simply said it was good to build on places known as bad ground, such as Liberia ,freed slaves colony was built on a huge metal mine and there are vampire legends that go back to before the cannibal wars there for instance, back to Bathory who sent first miners there, mythical it seems.The world is huge, and spans a time further than any of anyone can live.None of us will even see 1% of the surface on foot in a life we won't remember if we love it enough to return.The world will remove me from it when it is done with me also.Quick is my hope but however it sees fit to hasten doom.I feel and believe strongly, and also know that doomsday is a highly personal thing, mythologized even for people who don't write their own myth.The darker truths once shell is cracked need be made to a mosaic of sorts, or whatever will pacify the sharp edges from being seen for what they are, and they are necessary.

- "I meant to say America is a drop in the bucket, like life is for a mortal being, and a nation is also a mortal entity as is a planet.I am aware of the truths, it is the repetition on purpose that brings about the eventual and inevitable destruction and renewal of all things. Å’"

- "Maybe intelligence is wasted on the intelligent...but your manner of describing such conceptualizations are poetic enough to deserve an open measure of consideration I'd say.Thanks for the look. Å’"
