You've carefully chosen your words here, they build off one another and provide a power and depth to your rather potent imagery. It covers the darkness in the world, the greed, but there is a door in there still, that may offer hope - the fact that there *are* still good-willed men out there, somewhere. Passionate, strong-voiced, and well-written. With an entertaining picture to boot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452206432269855060.post-5853920550241939872010-12-09T08:11:59.615-05:002010-12-09T08:11:59.615-05:00You have such skill in choosing words - this reall...You have such skill in choosing words - this really helps to give meaning to your work.<br /><br />Great one shot.Brother Olliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506492407482879487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452206432269855060.post-44318563685954251192010-12-08T20:59:22.001-05:002010-12-08T20:59:22.001-05:00Really like the realistic approach to a world that...Really like the realistic approach to a world that turns up, then down, on such a wisp of folly.<br /><br />Well written and meaningful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452206432269855060.post-91227882361296173152010-12-08T18:53:46.902-05:002010-12-08T18:53:46.902-05:00so well voiced:

Good job of using the written word to exposes the greed that drives the machine. Good use of metaphor with the tree analogy, also.
