This piece of "poetry" or writing was written by a founding member of the Nova Scotian government (He was gone for years, so he may have been an altered state of mind), while trekking through the geography of our great lands. He took a step away from humanity, to go out and observe from afar and keep up on societies actions. He viewed and experienced some horrendous acts but also beautiful things too. This was his conclusion, or what we think is one.
His work was an introduction to an autobiography to a book he wrote when he was out there, observing mankind, finding answers and discovering new questions to strive for. His motives for this is unknown to us. After this, the book goes on to a more light sort of read. Pleasant; unlike this.
