This is the most egregiously simple-minded philosophy I have ever read in my whole life. Apart from the grafitti on the toilet wall that says 'I didn't write this'. But that's beside the point. The point is that as soon as we all agreed to believe in this supreme power, we'd all then start to argue about what it looked like, what sex it was, what it actually did... adn then, hey presto! We have the last 6000 years of history ALL OVER AGAIN. I think I'll pass on that thanks. And at the same time, I'll pass on this poem, which isn't so much a poem as a mis-spelled, unrhythmical and ultimately whimsical bit of cracker-barrel wiseacreliness. Listen to Zodiac.

Wonder is not a synonym for idiocy, gullibility and wiful anti-rationalism. The fact that we have evolved into organisms intelligent enough to ask these questions - isn't that wonderful enough? And it's called astral projection anyway.

I would like to see this in a stricter form. At the moment this is over-blown and doesn't carry the feeling throughout the verbiage. It's also a prfoundly pretentious title - 'requiem' is a word that has become too often used by newscasters and Hollywood films to the point where it is now just a load of puff. However, there are some really good observations.

Frankly, this would be unacceptable on a Hallmark card. Keep up the good work. You have now written this poem approximately 4,834,231 times and still it gets no better.

I'll lay a bet that Nana and Mamosita are one and the same person. She must be feeling awful that she has inspired not one but two absolutely gruesome outpourings of semi-literate platitudinous bilge. What a thing to do to someone. Please, for her sake, STOP WRITING under any of your dodgy and nauseating pseudonyms.

"It amazes me how you are so very clever, You will be a piece of my life forever." For instance, this rubbish - this couplet does not contain a wittily encapsulated, but two unlinked and frankly trite thoughts that have been jammed together because of the rhyme. Do youa ctually read poetry written by poeple who can do it properly? By whom I mean Shakespeare, Auden or Byron, not Forever Friends.

Not a philosopher. Or a poet.

Are you a fascist?No, really?

This is powerful and I know exactly what you mean. Come out and spill whatever you have to! But I like this.

I feel as if I've stumbled into the middle of a private conversation. How embarrassing.

A five line poem, syllable structure 2 (1st line), 4 (2nd), 6 (3rd), 8 (4th), 2 (5th). The last two syllables should both be stressed and nouns and verbs should feature more promiently than adjectives and adverbs. And I remember seeing that very comment just a day or two ago. Way to go with the shaping of minds there. Very telling. <3 Jason

I agree with the man who said, “The important thing to me is if I feel I have been communicated with. It does not really matter if the communication actually happened.” I wish I felt communicated with here.

Sometimes paper cuts.

I'll take ten pounds not to tell.

If I knew this was written by someone who could not speak, Id say it's sensual and meaningful to a reader who can. If I didn't know that I'd say the same.

Aye! The Maggian strikes again! First thing I got was a Venus flytrap. Too long away from home I guess. lol.

When I get home, we'll get jiggy with this Irish thing eh? Greetings from Pecos Texas or.... how-DEA!

I can't bite at the moment, I'm liking the current.
