in a skeptical, postmodernist kind of way. As long as you don't grow a mustache like Nietzsche, you'll be okay.

If this is the way you wanted it then it's perfect. You are after all the poet. The means of conveying is entirely yours.

Powerful. Nearly nihilistic. But powerful.

The words were sometimes too autonomous and the way it was read did not flow well, but at othertimes it flowed well. However, the actual content of the Poem was well stated. Very deppressing take about how robotic about money and fleeting from logic society has become. I liked it.
