Your poem is well written and I enjoyed reading it. It flows well with an emotional message of life and death. Your artwork choice goes well with your thoughts.

Comment from Rhonni
Very meaningful with such few words, this speaks volumes to the human condition and how we are in need of a savoir, at least that is what it conveys to me...nice

Comment from Justin Yhoung
A very businesslike poem, and the business world is very real. I think that a lot of people think of business in a monetary, material sense, but you have dug the truth up from deeper underground. That is to say that you take it one step further: it is not just "possessions" that are for sale, but our very own physicality, and the very essence of our being. I hope this piece challenges, strengthens, and opens minds to perceive things differently. In addition, it only took a few simple words/generic concepts, to get a deeper, bigger concept across. Well-done!

I was thinking of the desperate hopeless people feel when they have nothing more to give. Thanks for the review and welcome to fanstory, judester
-
That is a very powerful statement. Inspiring, to say the least. Reminds me of a movie quote about hope: "there is always hope."
-
Just a glimpse of desperation. If people would get away from their constant money gathering and spending, they would be alot happier, just saying. Cheers, j
-
And what is happiness? Is it a state of being? A feeling?
-
I believe happiness is when you long for nothing. It is created and nutured within, not without. Look at all those rich kids with everything they could want, compared to a poor african kid that works for a dollar a day and lives in a shack. And the rich kid is depressed hah, cheers, judester
-
I think you're on to something here. The only thing that is irritating me is that you pay to be on this website, only to preach aboout how people would be happier without spending and gathering money. And it's not just African kids. Half the world lives on two dollars a day or less.
-
I say Africa because I live here. There is nothing wrong with spending money to do things you enjoy. Being consumed by consumption and coveting constantly can make happiness elusive, cheers, j

Yes I took the liberty of viewing your profile. Honestly, I felt like your words were a little directed at me, perhaps because they hit a soft spot lol. And with this (your) response, I completely agree. Now, another question from my inquisitive mind (sorry!): do you mean it when you say cheers? Or is that just something you say?
-
In East Africa, cheers means we're good and goodbye, judester
-
Interesting. Forgive me, that was a low blow on my part. A little irritated from lack of sleep? Or perhaps it is something else. Anyway, thank you for indulging me in conversation!
