If we die we cease to observe our consequence,
and many view this inevitable happenstance as an epic loss.
Although we are mostly blind when it comes to how what we do propogates out into the cosmos.
We think that because we do not see it it doesn't exist.
It's a great philosophy when you're trying to ignore everything and focus down,
to the immediate benefits.
It's awesome whether you're performing a small theft,
or starting a war which you know will end in pools of blood shed.
The guilt only trickles in later.
There are drugs and therapies which will effectively help you ignore the easy destruction you have wrought on plenty.
Although they will still haunt you forever.

We all carry our ghosts until it is time for them to carry us.

Ah such profound truths in your work ...
and somehow truths are not always logically, but your truths are ...
Some therapies are nothing but intoxicating the conscience ... And the best cure one can have, IS an active conscience.
How are you Poet ... did you receive your book? Please let me know when you do.
Blessed be
Myra
