Destruction and Creativeness

[heslopian]

"Don't demonise poor Mengele" was supposed to be sarcastic, as was the whole Holocaust tangent. In no way was I attempting to glorify or ellicit sympathy for him. I'd consider that immoral, especially in a poem which isn't about him, but where he's used to prove a point. Because I don't consider self-destruction art I referenced the destruction of other people to illustrate that point. If we don't consider mass murder an aesthetic principle, then neither should we think self-harm thus.
Thanks for your feedback Billy and Aish, and I'll have a serious think about how I can edit the offending lines if that's how they come across.
Thanks for the heads up on the spelling mistake as well Billy. I ran this through an American spell checker.
