your point to me is well taken. i have not read all of your work. I can only say that I think you can write, you have good imagery, I think your travels would be interesting to many folks including myself. I think some of the areas you get into are beneath you or any writer. If you think about others and how you would feel or do feel when everyone comes at you then you can understand that it is wrong to do. Please don't do that. I would like very much to read your poems with your travels and description of nature. It is beneath any artist writer or musician to write words that walk the line in area's of intolerance of others. The world has enough of those people. Hate only creates more hate. Do what you are good at and describe your travels and your take on nature. Just my suggestion for what it is worth. I have no writing skills but if I did, I would want to write about that which people will respect and remember. You do have that skill and I will leave you with that thought
