The Myth

It blazes red, black,
Superstition wins over.
Hysteria reigns.

It sits black on white,
The world stead'ly orbits on.
It's just a number.

      Even when you've had a bit too much Scotch?

      I wouldn't advise it. Your head might implode!

    A number that leaps out and demands notice and I guess, to most (myself included) a sense of uneasiness and distrust. Well written. s and best wishes always... ~Genie~

    I agree that it's just a number and even if it was more than a number the real number is 616 not 666 - that's a widely-spread misconception . Probably cos 666 sounds cooler . Anywho congratulations on the gold, very well deserved. Take care x

      I've read that 616 is the real number too, I've also seen 665 or 668, something like that...
