this is great, reminds me of my drive to work everyday that takes an hour. I really hate it. but soon wont have to deal with it, the corps just anounced mass lay-offs, aprox 2-3000 of us across the USA. So ...wow love the poem, its so real. I know people dont think like me, but if you leave a little early, put some tunes on and just relax and say Im going to get there in one piece and on time, it really works for the most part.oh god cold calling..ekkkk hated it. nice poem Peter.

Original item by Malpoet

Thanks Clarissa

I try to keep a focus. I regularly attack the stupidity and misbehaviour of my own government and its friends, so I consider it some sort of responsibility not to ignore the far worse abuses carried out by some others.

The criminal Sudanese regime is responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people in Darfur and the systematic rape of thousands of women. This revolting regime represses its people in the name of Islam. That is the biggest possible insult to religion. Far greater than any insult that I could deliver. When a well meaning teacher is imprisoned, and even threatened with death, they shame and ridicule themselves. Now let the international community stop the rape, murder and torture by this illegal regime.

In ways I can really understand this poem, at least I hope that I do. I have felt this way. Your right the one that looks back is the only one that can help/ being positive helps to a point, self help books help a bunch and for me it was realizing that family really does for the most part try and be good and that they do love you in their own sick way. Forgiveness is the cure forgive self and everyone else.and apply positive words and thoughts to life. Its not 100% but after applying it for a time it sinks in and really helps. I enjoyed this poem it reminded me of me long ago and in ways reminds me of friends and family. I think it may be a poem many can understand if honest. we are all just children looking for friends and a person that cares. great poem and feelings!

OK Malcom this is brilliant! I really liked the bear touch...did you mean to do it? As for the latest story of grace from such a hell, the teacher. poor lady, I wonder if the kids get beating's for naming it ? You know I really try to have an open mind, but the more I hear of them/that place, the more a massive pig blood drop sounds like the best idea. They should thank Allah everyday that Im not the president. I have known for years about these people, and they are so back ass ward, I get enraged! Great poem, got me pissed off!

Comment is about Two Grandfathers (blog)

Original item by Malpoet

Deeply moving and touched on a bit of family history -- this week in Lincoln a recovered memorial tablet was re-dedicated in All Saints church after the original church, a methodist, was demolished to build a car park. The tablet turned up in a back garden, was restored by the finder, a Mr Hudson, who also did some research about the named soldiers, all members of the Lincolnshire Second Battalion. The first name on the tablet was that of my father's grandfather, a man who had died at the age of 40 in the trenches -- quite old for a soldier. My dad had never known how his grandfather had died and it seems he was over 6ft tall, not a good height for trench warfare, and he had his head blown off by a sniper. Shocking details even now. Your poem is very haunting and beautifully controlled -- the narrative balanced and yet so very shocking.

Comment is about That Primal Scream (article)

Hey malcom,
thanks so much for telling me about all this.Its illegal to do that here to, but that type seem to get away with it here.Oh the slipped disc was very well crafted, ha silly me I figured he was hurt.Ah yes the sub prime deals, the scum that came up with those deals should have to take the pain on that. interesting personal info, I was renting a home for 2 years, made all payments on time, the owners had refinanced the home, to cover credit card debt, they asked me if I would mind the house /rent doubling, I said hell yes! I told them look, I know you paid off your credit cards but thats not my problem, and Im not paying for your bad debt. A few monthes later they forclosed on the house, I had already moved out. very sad deals going on out there with the sub prime, many not responsible are being hurt by it. The real threat to yours and mine governments are the banks that deal with, I believe "world banks" im still looking into it. From what I can tell we/yall/us and a few other countries, really dont own anything and really dont elect anyone. A few elite banks run it all the main governments and control all "fake paper money" and hold all the gold hostage. ah yes mervyn King, is he the one Kings college is named after?

Comment is about Annie Versary (blog)

Original item by Malpoet

Hi
Sorry for the delay -forgot my password. Thank you so much for your kind words. Sadly the poem isn't about me, or at least only in the sense that I am a woman. It's not intended to be about a perfect woman either, but is in response to seeing so many wonderful women getting a bit bogged down in the dull routine of life - kids, dishes, etc. So I wrote it in a deliberately grand celebratory style.
And yes, one of my classic typing errors, it should be taint me, saint me, paint me, and then it scans ; )
Best wishes
Morag

Comment is about Woman (article)

Hi Clarissa

No. This is about Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister who took over from Tony Blair.

At the moment he is stumbling from crisis to crisis. His political party (The Labour Party) recieved about $1.3m from a supporter who gave the money in the names of other people. That is illegal under our system.

Recently a government department lost the personal and bank information of 25m people on 2 computer discs they put in the post without encription or security (two slipped discs).

'The Rock is Northern Rock, a bank which got into terrible financial problems from the sub prime crisis and the Government has lent it about $50billion and more to come, without much idea of how it will get the money back.

Watt was the General Secretary of the Labour Party who was forced to resign over the donations scandal.


Mendelsohn is the chief fund raiser for the Labour Party.

The reason the poem is called Annie Versary is a silly little joke. It was written on the 250th anniversary of the birth of William Blake the poet who wrote 'Tyger, tyger burning bright'. Blake was a radical and the 'tygers' in that poem were people who represented a threat to government of the time because they wanted a revolution like the one in France. I was parodying his poetic form to imply (quite falsely I'm afraid) that Gordon Brown should fear the public too.

By the way, Mervyn King is now the Governor of the Bank of England. Gordon Richardson retired some time ago.

Thanks for the enquiry and taking such an interest.

I don't disagree with anything you say Clarissa. The public must be protected from violent criminals. I would not necessarily believe Williams in his claims of innocence of the murders or his conversion to the promotion of peace, but I am sure that killing him will not have helped anything.

I also think that the decision to execute was a cynical piece of politicking.

I don't claim to have solutions to these appalling situations. I just comment.

Comment is about Malpoet (poet profile)

Original item by Malpoet

great poem,I am against the death sentance, however these street thugs need to be stopped. Dont most of them "find god" after the fact. I feel mainly to save their hides.The history of gangs is very interesting. The crips and the bloods were some of the most violent american gangs of our time.I was once a wittnes to a mini riot between the Latin Kings ( the leader lived next door to me) and other gangs. These people had no respect for others or themselves, they ran drugs, prostitution,beat up and raped girls, smoked crack in broad daylight,exposed themselves etc...cops had no way of controling them, most of the time gangs have better guns then the cops.I once worked the night shift @ a 7-11, I have been robbed by gang members, I can assure you that the true scum come out at night to reign terror on inocent people. I quit that job as I never felt safe again and felt as if I needed to lock myself in the cooler, its a joke to say that you can call the cops here and feel safe. By the time you dial you are in a pool of blood on the ground.I lived in the "hood" as that was all I could afford at the time, I made my mind up to make friends with the rival gangs as I could not fight them, so for a time I was called (MOM) by the bloods and crips of my area.I think some can be saved from a life of crime. I feed them, let them stay with me when it was obviouse that their parents had no love or care for them. I engaged them in conversations and made them think, showed them that their were other ways to live. I saved 2 kids that I know of , took them off the streets and showed them love and that adults did care about them. some are beyond help tookie was one of them.The justice system is no good here, and the prisons are like a motel 6.Thi system needs reform, but as long as our government is in the business of making money from crime it will not. As long as the media continues to glorify crimes, it will not change.As long as the guilty can write books and make movies that glorify their wild wicked lives it will not change. As long as it takes 2 parents working at times 2 full times jobs, thus not being able to spend time with their children, this type of thug mentality will continue as the kids of these are looking at first for family, a place to belong. Its true that a power group of rich are behind most of this, caos and terror, begets bigger government, more laws, less rights, and nets the big boys more power /control/money. great job on the poem!
