    Even though I didn't really get some of the words, not used to reading them on this site, I think I got the message behind it. It's different and unique. Original for a change.

    This is a response to steven crane's "war is kind"

    A man said to the universe:
    "Sir I exist!"
    "However," replied the universe,
    "The fact has not created in me
    A sense of obligation."

    Wow. The length did not by any means limit the quality. It has a philospohical quality about it I like. I ponder upon the words yet it is still very accessible and down to earth. May I ask who is the voice in this poem?

    Short and sweet...there is something really emotional and deep here that I really don't understand...you are obvioulsty very philosophical
    Amazing, I wish I could comprehend this to the extent you can

    Understandable, but only just. I think that I have translated it to my own image, perhaps that is what you aimed to do . . . Your language is flawless, and in such a complex paragraph, you have even managed to rhyme. Awesome poetry.

    Peace. [Sole]

    After you're last poem that I read, I didn't expect one to be this short. But I guess that just shows how verstile you can be with your poetry. I really liked the second part that was in quote. It brings forward a really interesting concept about people in this world. Great vocabulary once again. Surprisingly good for such a short poem

    WOW you have just amazed me. Again your use of words is quite prodigious. Although the poem is short in length it speaks volumes and the message is loud and clear!
    Welcome to my favorites list!

    Too true, too often do we attempt to find acceptance from a society we hate, I guess it begs the question do we attempt to gain acceptance because we hate it or do we hate it because it won't accept us...? Anyway, I digress, I really great write, you truely are a fabulously talented writer. Loved it 5/5
