hahaha i love this 'nyrfan3093' comment - "poetry is the gayest thing ever and serves no purpose to society." ...because hockey serves such an important purpose in society. it's comforting to know, however, that poets challenge people's beliefs so much that they must spew their self-hate onto the internet. ignorance is the only reason for such anger. if you're comfortable with yourself, then you won't need to hate the honest work of others...stop lying to yourself and admit you're a human being.

Shit, like blood and sweat, is a naturally occurring substance that, for some reason, is socially stigmatized as disgusting and undesirable. We find shit to be a fault. When dismantled by the composting toilet, it becomes something for the most beautiful features of the natural world to rejoice in. IMHO I don't really think the thought that human flaws enrich the earth is either of the things you've categorized it as...
