The thinker was originally a part of a theme piece called the gates of hell. He sits at the top of the doorway and represents a man with unlimited creative potential but limited ability. He's the thinker because he is unable to be the doer. Both your poem and the thinker represent great potential that is being kept back by something.

This really captures the feel of wasted potential with the images of the crewless ships tethered. Like Rodin's Thinker in that way. This is pure poetry.

Then why is it that nobody seems to mention such things in their poems. All we ever get is bleeding hearts saying oh those poor Iraq people who danced in the street with joy on 9/11 and during the London bombings. Here's a newsflash: Countries do evil things to each other all the time. Why is it you wine more about our country more than yours? Americans never complain alot about any other country than their own. Maybe you just secretly want to be American.
That's the stupidest metaphor mixed or not that I've ever heard.

It was reported that "Angola became the top source of crude imports to oil-hungry China last month, replacing Saudi Arabia as its main supplier"
This is why GWB considers Iraq a success.
The weapons of mass distruction are in China and Saudi Arabia is a main supplier of oil to them. Just in case you were wondering why we're really in the middle east.

Whoever will you have left to blame if everyone stops believing in God? Maybe then we'll blame the soccer fans.

I don't know about Ireland's Irish or Scotland's Scottish and I won't pretend to preach about things I have no direct experience with but one of the great things about America is that every nationality has the opportunity to live up to and exploit every one of their racial stereotypes to the fullest.

I think you're mixing the Scottish with the Irish. The Irish are simple living blue collar drunks who like to fight, sing and be as white as humanly possible. The Scotts are more like a mix of Irish and Jew. How do I know? I'm Scottish and Irish.

WOW. I getting to see into a part of women I've never seen before and it's located nowhere near the vagina.
Not enough info for most others to see this the way the lucky few of us will but for those few it's quite insightful.
