Your word choices are brilliant. This flows together nicely. And you have a good point.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thank you.

History and its later availability is defined and written and thereafter rewritten and redefined and left accessible by the winners of all socioeconomic societal challengers - force matters after all and violence does resolve issues. You spoke clearly and with reason... and I can only agree.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thank you, Chris. I usually write these pieces with a long view that humanity will ultimately go extinct.

I like the thought process here, especially the bit about atheists being forgotten. Since most historical records were maintained by the Church, atheists and heathens have mostly been lost in the annals, birth and death never recorded in written form. I often wonder what great writers were never recognized, as if my favorite piece possible has already been lost; a bit depressing really. I am very grateful that Franz Kafka (my favorite author) became more well known after his death, instead of fading into obscurity... if not I would have never enjoyed his czech/german works.

Thank you, Nusquam Esse. I have seen this tendency throughout my traverses into different types of history.

good s**t is still s**t that winds up flushed away

~ Ha! I am always a hopeful fella, even though at times I could be pessimistic. The thing is, s**t happens, more often we can't avoid it. Poetry has grown too much that more often its hard to find which is the best among the best. I always believe in waiting - the patience to wait for the right one...and in the ruins, there will be who shall rise and stood up to be great! There are still more great writers now a days, its just that the taste on what people like changes depends on the current era...

a very expressive piece my friend...

Thanks, Pax. My poetry is heavily rooted in pessimism when it probably shouldn't be. I have a lot of apprehension about my own talent and my ability to market it.
