I guess you don't realize how callous and clueless sentences like this make you look. For people on the bloody end of politics, all private joy is at risk when the political tables turn. That you can manage to write with such disdain for the individuals on the dark side of the divide only underlines how unqualified you must be as an observer. Here on this site you have some very kind readers. I read the kind of flippant, selfish tripe you spout and I figure the poetry must be smoke and mirrors with no depth and move on from it as worthless. I am not alone. Some of us don't believe it is all mere craft, just machines made from words as much as we believe wiping the breath of the glass of the windows to Under seeing through to meaning, myth, and the measure of the soul. For the sake of your art, stop. Seriously. You can take this as some rude scoff but your on public record with some rather sad proclamations that can be read by anyone passing by. I have no skin in this game. Feel free to feign insult, incredulity, or any in-thing you wish. Your friends should be more direct with you. Maybe they are.
