What do you think poetry is capable of?
What is poetry incapable of?
Poetry is capable of producing change, rather it is in an individual or in a society. Provided wither are willing to be totally honest with themselves, as a result of what the poetry speaks to them.
It is incapable of producing said change by itself, for the reader must give his point of view and then be moved to action on his own.
What is the most painful thing someone has ever said to you? You are fat
What is the most painful thing you have said to someone else? I dont love you anymore.
If you could have a superpower, what would that power be?
The ability to make people answer questions promptly when asked, LOL. I dont have the foggiest idea really. Ahh, I guess the ability to jus make a difference in the lives of those around me continiuosly, if that makes sense.
Why do you think people aren't more honest with each other?
Everyone holds back to a degree, some for deception, some just due to fear of being hurt. Fear of being oneself, afraid of not being accepted. Insecurity in general I guess is what I am saying.
If tomorrow you woke up and were an influential politician, what is one thing you would change about this nation?
Our role with the Middle East and this ongoing war that is slowly tolling our economic death kneel in more ways then one.
If you could live anywhere in the world, completely your choice, where would you live? A small unnamed community in Georgia, LOL.
If you were the last person on earth, what would be the first things you would do?
Pray to God to reconsider repopulating the world again. Then I would take a good swim and a long nap while i awaited His answer.

I have no opinions of AllPoetry for any would be as a whisper lost in a storm. They have at times shown themselves either unwilling or unable to make change and grow as a result of suggestion, rather by me or anyone else.
