Remembering by Colin Baker (2) "I guess Biko wasn't really immortal after all." -- Richard. "Hi Richard, I would beg to differ, for example in the sense that Steve Biko has earned a place in numerous history books of humankind thus assuring his name, his various political activities and so on, live for an eternity, being passed from generation to generation and from culture to culture." -- Colin Baker. A Pious Gent by Colin Baker (4) "i hoep you are bashing bush for good reasons and not just doin it because its the "cool" thing to do. Your simplistic meter hits hard. keep it up. " -- ryan severud. "Thank you indeed Ryan, and yes, my writing is more than a mere reaction to contemporary world events you'll be glad to here." -- Colin Baker. "Neither artistic nor relevant. You ought to pay more attention to the politics of that shit-hole of the western world in which you live instead of sticking your nose in the business of this country. How can you criticize your neighbor's house when you live in a pig pen yourself? " -- Richard. "Hello Richard, Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the US military been criticizing their neighbours' houses (often murderously so) for decades now?" -- Colin Baker. Rain Heading In From The West by Colin Baker (4) " CRAP....JUST PLAIN CRAP." -- MS, Iowa, USA. "Hi MS from somewhere Iowa. I respect your comments that the above mentioned work is, in your words crap, but to make a rather rude claim then run away without offering the slightest evidence as to your view is crass in the extreme. So come out of the shadows and put forward your objective reasoning please." -- Colin Baker. "As the visitor can see, I'm still awaiting the return of 'MS' from somewhere in Iowa. " -- Colin baker. "If MS, Iowa's view is crass in the extreme, how extreme is your message focusing on Western agression. Do you not see agression in the beheadings of soldiers and civilians or the suicide bombings that kill thousands of innocent women and children. Is there no agression in the mind set of Muslin extremists whose proclaimed goal is to kill Christians and Jews everywhere? You repeatedly provide evidence in your writings that you are an incurable atheist who has fallen in love with his own view of himself as an intellectual. The Marxist and socialist ideologies and their patrons to whom you are so devoted are merely ghosts of failed societies. Like most liberals, you still cannot understand that it is neither intellectual nor progressive to keep trying the same utopian solutions that have failed, and will continue to fail - it is insanity. " -- Richard. Entwined Hearts by Dri (1) "Endless love from an overflowing heart...so beautiful.Can any man ask for more? Can there be anything more precious? All My Love Sweetie...Your Loving Man...Steve" -- Luvwriter, Hummelstown, USA, Pennsylvania. Dad by Carla Thomson (5) "As someone who lost a dad at about your age, this was a bit hard for me. Perhaps because I sense anger. And that is an emotion I think I only felt once towards my dad. He died a long time ago, and my heart longs for his love still. It is good that you have chosen an outlet such as writing to express your feelings. I only ask that you remember words and actions can never be taken back. I hope this all works out for you. It is hard to see "them" as people at this age...still trying to figure out who you are yourself." -- mattie. "Dear Carla,I too lost a father when I was your age but he didn't pass away.My mother divorced him and when he walked out on my mother he walked out on me as well.So I can definately understand the anger you feel for your dad.I hope you continue to express your feelings through your poetry and I hope that one day all will be well with your dad." -- David D. "my dad did not pass away, and yes i am angry because of the things that happend, the things i know he could chang but didn't.i love my dad how could i not, but thinking of him brings me pain. he let his wife hurt us, my brother and i. i know he could have stopped it but she had too much controle and i have the right to call her a bitch because that is what she is. it's been 3 to 4 years since i left my dad's house and what happend there haunts me still and i'm trieng so hard to forgive. i can't explain execty what i've gone through in a way it makes sence, but for the time being i want nothing to do with "them"." -- Carla. "Wow, what a heartfelt poem. My heart goes out to you. We never really understand when a family member chooses a stranger over us do we? Love the poem, keep writing :)" -- Tamsin Butler. "Hi,Some people do anything to fight over to get what they want in what they call love, and they use any excuse and lies to do so. I do feel sorry for you, and know where you are comming from. Keep writing and may God Bless you. Some people to do want to accept what comes on the plate with the rest of that love. " -- Sam, Auck,, N. Zealand. (A)L(M)Ight(Y) by Buxton (2) "Excellent work here Bux, this one has promise, I like the 3rd person view of the world, if thats what it was?? Either way my interpretation of it was excellent.

"this is good! some nice wording. the last line could be better though....maybe "and you keep dragging me deeper". something more permanent would sound better. you're ending is optimistic but the whole poem is filled with despair. that would keep in the flow of the suject better, i think. take care..." -- km. "You have a good point about the ending, km. Thanks for the encouragement and suggestion." -- Elizabeth Flores, Toledo, Ohio, USA. "Sounds like your going through lots of garbish." -- Jeanette H. "I know exactly how you feel. I allowed an addict's disease to suck the life out of me. I survived though, and my life is so much better today. Hang it there Elizabeth." -- JM.
