Could you edit it thinner and more verticle? to increase the structures longevity and quicken the read to memory.

Thank you for reading my poem on Boxing Day. I hope you had a very merry Christmas. As regards hope, it's not really my thing. The poem is about the attempt to fabricate hope, and the failure to do so, and so it's not really a hopeful poem at all. It's all very political. The line 'our ideology is not a joke' always seemed very clumsy to me (it's hard to read with the correct rhythm) but absolutely vital - this is about people who believe in what they do, but realise it's very, very hard.

Consider this: As a result of contraception, loads of people aren't being born. If given the choice, those people would probably opt for existence. Therefore contraception is naughty.

i think this is definetly a winner Nick. the last stanza could of had a bit more hope? awareness is more than half of the bottle.

Ask yourself this: How can something that intentionally spends its entire life in the nude be sentient?

Soul is to Tin Man as benevolence is to animal cruelty. Thanks for the read.
Bachus on Truth at last by w~* ATHENA *~w 26 Dec 2002, 1:27 PM
inxs has never sounded worse, and you left out..."i've got a new sensation" which is a dissappointment indeed.

It brings a whole new meaning to enlightenment

I am in agreement with Gandhi. To cause NEEDLESS suffering for any animal is obscene and a direct reflection upon a society and/or individual. Thanks for the read.

Typo is fixed and things and machines are now singular. It does read better with the changes. Thank you, sir.
My thoughtful friend we are now aquatic mammals! Our brand of debauchery is despised from here to there. The change starts with you, and it (unfortunately or not for us), ends there as well.

I did not cook, but my brother did--baked ziti because he's considerate and a killer cook, and he even made me my own gravy without meat and sent me home with leftovers and a bottle of homemade wine--he's a good brother. Lots of hearty red wine and macaroni--yum. Tons of snow, but it was great; we haven't had a white Christmas in years and it was blizzardy and wonderful, a real barnstorming New England holidolly. Skidded and slipped up the road to hang out with friends and watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail--the SO was with his kid in PA, but it was otherwise a great, mellow holiday. Hope yours was too! bleesies to you to, Baba Yaga, and by the way, here's a belated 9 for your jihad jubilee. Hee.

Hi, Well, I'm not really against hunting or raising livestock. It is what is hunted for what purpose and how "captive" animals are treated that concerns me. If there was no livestock raised, the animals would obviously never have been born. If treated humanely, they would probably opt for existence. We all must die.

It's a bit stiff, but I'm feeling your vibe and I vote yes
