An aged wipe is but a paltry thing, A tattered rag upon a stick, unless Buttocks sally forth and cling, and bravely cling To every blemmish on its scrunched up mess, Nor is there parping school but studying Monuments of its own brownificence; And therefore I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Brownium. From "Sailing to Brownium" by William Butler Yeats

Excuse me for asking, but is this poem about Amy Winehouse?

Beginning a new thread like a charismatic renewal of an old religion, this is an answer to atheists, a declaration of victory in the battle between enlightened secularism and Christianity. Or stated with recognition of human frailty, as Jesus taught to state, I preface anything I say with realization that Betelgeuse is 800 times the sun’s diameter and is so far away that nobody living today will see it, but only its light sent hundreds of years ago. And though it is unimaginably big and far, much greater things were flung by someone (Oh, sorry, that presumes too much.) My mistake, of course, is inferring God from science, instead of not-god from science. Now where were we? Oh yes, we were relating morality and religion. Or stated another way, we were relating principles that hold society in harmony, with ideas about God. They seem unrelated to me, but I find it interesting that most religions hold the same morals in regard to stealing, killing, fraud, and the like. Religions differ on morals about the eating of bats, the covering of women’s faces, and the killing of insects. The first set of morals derives from polite society’s needs, and work just fine either couched in dogma or without religion. The second begin with writings and cleric’s decrees. Just because these “morals” get stuck into religion does not make them part of true religion. What could the eating of bats have to do with recognition of God? Jesus made this point clear, as anyone can see from reading him apart from later writings of his church. Christianity is about Christ (duh) not about superseded Old Testament texts or something a monk wrote in the fourteenth century. In summary: don’t get me started.

Couldn't He have just gone round to someone's house and cleaned up?

I closed my eyes, until they hurt, And prayed it would go away, But when, again, I opened my eyes, This poem still looked really gay.

Strange to see you use -'cos. I don't know why. Good thing you didn't use crumpet. Those things, sheesh. I like the paralells but, I think if you sit on it for a while, there's more to be brought out.9 for what it is now.
Dovina on Running Local by INTRANSIT 30 Dec 2007, 2:29 PM
Trucker terms, or Greek, who knows. I cycle with the biggest, rumba with the Macs. Parkour stumps me. Please, not over a fence. Fly ball and swerve on - I wont ask. Now, elope for a few on the server, I like. When ignorant, vote 7.

Answer: Soak it up and spit it out. Good philosophy.

How many hopeless people are suffering ? Within the voiceless world and who’s behind this show ? who’s that child ? demonstrating the deep sense of famine in the heart of the heartless world Who’s running this world ? Why some folks can’t raise their voice ? As well as it raise so may questions In their bare minds and also abomination Far from the great expecation of human kind Could we understand how they live ? In the context of despairs Or in the mataphore of the wasteland Where you are blamed To build their worlds upon the toxic wastland And you started to obsever What they react insead of the word “ living” All they’re reactions or expermints on them It has only one message after all The show must go on for your better life and world You cant help yourself watching the opera The opear of third world Childern’re playing in the dumping ground While you try to be more sympathetic Because that’s entertaining you It’s not the reality of your life dealing with it ..it’s the dumping world and a good senior of a opera while the future is still bleak for them day after day they face their fatal fate you still dump things and they die in the dumping grave

I've read this over and over--it's still good but I feel like somthing is missing. Maybe another stanza or make stanza two the last one?

I think Kipling said it best: Take up the White Man's burden— The savage wars of peace— Fill full the mouth of Famine, And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest (The end for others sought) Watch sloth and heathen folly Bring all your hope to nought. That is why I shan't be donating.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift of literature. This is one of the excellentest poemes I have read today and it doesn't matter that it doesn't rhyme because not all poemes have to rhyme you idiot.
