Anonymity. Poetry is the face of humanity. A message directly from the psych that has travel throughout light. The escape of fools, and the voice of the messengers and vagabonds of thoughts and inquiry. A gamble for millions of secretes and stories that waited a bit too long. Poetry is the archetype of communication intra/inter persona. The birth of letters and words meant to give us back our immortality.
