You express so many emotions

You express so many emotions in this Mono... sadness, bitterness, resent, humour... and I like your rhyming. Good on you for sharing your feelings in this way.
I was in Kerry myself a few weeks ago, near Glenbeigh. Under the right...

An apocalypse will come. They've been before. The planet survived, by the skin of its teeth, and regenerated. It would probably be much better off without its current dominant species.
