WE PLAY MUSIC TOGETHER NO ONE ASSUMES ANY THING ABOUT THE OTHER god or un god. and neither of us have mullets, but we will put you in a barber chair and teach your clit to whistle the canadian anthem.

old man river is not athena..athena is this nasty looking chick who thinks she's a dutch popstar in venice beach..river is shawn, my friend from new england/guitarist and songwriter friend of mine in THE CADS.

shawn. he is a professor? have you been snorting your breakfast again? whatever you do don't see the two towers.

don't feel bad. at least you don't have to perform with him..he doesn't even wear shoes, and he smokes your pot when your not looking.

I shall listen to it today and look forward to it.

Are you kidding? You must be. Are you really telling me that it is that fact that I gave a poem that I deemed as propaganda and generic a zero is what bothers you? Are you that shallow? People are going to say hurtful things about your work and throw around all sorts of numbers whether on this site or another or in the publishing world. I suggest you stop mooing like a trapped baby cow and get some thicker skin. Here, I will up the score to a two. Now, on to other matters. I suggested a book by Ruth Orki that I thought you might enjoy considering "yes" it deals with in a fictitious and modern setting (rather than something like The Jungle, which albeit most excellent, dwindles into socialist propaganda) with the exact issues you mention, not only in the poem, but also in your comments. Plus, it parallels the issuse in the meat packing industry with the use of DES on pregnant women in the 1950s and 1960s, which gives it the original spin. I am sorry you are taking this as an insult. I quite enjoy when books are recommend to me. It is how you expand your horizons and move from generic thinking to well-rounded thinking. And you cannot possibly tell me you have not heard of Peter Singer, author of the book "Animal Liberation"? Written in the1970s, it is the foundation of the current animal rights movement, even in its most radical form. I suggest you check it out. It will give you more insight and make you sound less shallow. And just because multiple people build a bike, does not mean it is built on an assembly line.

that depends on whether it's being played acoustic in taos, or full electric on sunset blvd. i think they would enjoy the bush sound bytes we included in the song...and the electricution of my friend in the end..did you listen to the song? because the lyrics are a mere fraction of the experience that is mr. johnies jihad. how can you resist bush and the crawford coffee shop?

i am....so is carolinagirl...cause tar heels rock. i only watch womens basketball though. thats where you find the REAL talent.

mmmm...good idea...ill have to think about that

Well, I'm not sure either but I know they are assembled and by more than one person so call it whatever you choose. Since you deem my poem to be without any merit or worth, I am sure there are other nit-picks you might enlighten me on. I actually enjoy comments on my poetry, good or bad. However, to give it a zero is absurd IMO. Does the book you suggest touch on the animals intrinsic rights that go beyond human assignment? Does it speak to the cruelty of raising calves in tiny pens, never able to run and play as most young animals do. Does it address the system's view where all life is related and connected? Does it speak to growth hormones and the comparative worth of a veal dinner and the inhumanity involved in its "production?" You may say my poem is worthless by giving it a zero and that is certainly your right to do so. But, anyone who has read some of the poetry posted throughout the internet, would quickly realize there is little or no credibility in assigning mine a zero. In fact, the real zero lies in your your comments, not mine. Understand it is not your dislike of my poem that bothers me, it is once again, the absurdity of your rating which lessens the credibility of everything that follows. Have a good day.

Not you. Old Man River, who is also Athena.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I'm not...plagiarising...that's low.

Yes, I see. So then, you are Athena the ultimate plagiarist. Please explain yourself.

check your e-mail.....shhhhhhhh

Then why all the mystery; let's just get naked!

I'm quite fond of you. I like your poetry and I think you're quite funny...like me.

It's 100 personas to exist in life. But the ie was right anyway... Ok - I like your poetry, but I don't vote...Anyway...tommorrow....I've a headache.

Sure thing, but please, have fun at my expense if you need too. For some reason everyone, especially out there in California needs to have a 100 personas to exist on this site. It is odd, but go for it.

I'm Ornella...ok...don't question my identity. I've shown you support haven't I? I've had fun at everyone's expense, but yours.

No you are an idiot.
