Note from self in reference to "Mankind":

"....in such a short time period of condensed decades, I have learned, witnessed, and lived the nature of human beings, and how it is in our nature to destroy ourselves. I have also learned through experiencing loss of loved ones, that our time is so short here. Look at us:

We live amongst a world of humans who's goal is to build machines that automate the thought processes and actions of man; machines without emotion...machines that cannot love and understand the emotions and feelings of humans; machines built to destroy what we have learned to love, and ultimately destroy mankind. These machines, which one day may rule the destiny of man, will never ever know love, loss, pain, or truly recognize beautiful poetry nor the true meaning and understanding of it. Our future is not set...but our eminent fate is what we make of ourselves'.

Live poetry, and you will celebrate life. Write poetry, and you will
celebrate your human ability to always love and cherish what you love. Understand and recognize creativity, and you shall rise.

Many great poets of our time and decades past have been speculated (with research on their character, life and behavioral patterns) to have had a Bipolar disorder. Their gift of brilliance and ability to create should always be recognized".
