Without Saying Goodbye by Melissa A Gauthier (1)
"Your poem is well felt, I know the feeling and poetry is our only vent to express positively..Good work.. :)" -- Roland E Gauthier Jr, Tuaran, Bangor, Sabah, Maine, Malaysia, America.


Pitch Black Abyss by Angel Of Hope (1)
"Beautiful work...just beautiful." -- Angel of Hope, Detroit, MI, USA.


Milton! Art Thou Dying (Again)? by Colin Baker (2)
"The collapse of Fanny and Freddie was inevitable. A clear example of trying to apply "affirmative action" to the free market. Capitalism rewards those who succeed in part by allowing them to obtain material symbols of success such as home ownership. In past years before Fanny and Freddie, those who qualified with adequate earnings histories and savings accumulated to apply as minimum down payments, were able to purchase homes. The advent of Fanny and Freddie embraced socialism, sending a clear message that poor people who want to own homes should be allowed to do so whether they qualified or not. When the banking industry objected, F & F told them to change the rules to enable these poor souls to qualify. And the rest of us are now asked to contribute our tax dollars to keep these failed institutions afloat so they can continue making more bad economic decisions? The marriage of social engineering and capitalism goes far beyond any relationship in the category of strange bedfellows. It never works, period. " -- Richard.
"Thanks for this reply Richard. The free market ideology is now in tatters. Anyone who denies this is obviously in self-denial. The nationalisation of Freddie and Fanny, in reality, represents a nationalisation of capitalistic losses (i.e. forcing society at large to bare the losses of the class who necessarily engage in wreckless speculating and general financial gambling) and a privatisation of profits. The capitalists need the state regardless. And they need it most of all in times of crisis, even if neo-liberalist doctrine pretends that the state is a burden to society. Capitalists could no more survive without the state than people could survive without oxygen." -- Colin .


Labour Pains by Colin Baker (2)
"A fair day's pay for a fair day's work, assuming he volunteered to become a Royal Marine. How much might he have received if he were struck down dead by a civilian hit-skip motorist? Happens every day over here. " -- Richard.
"The moral wrong in all this in my view, is the fact that humans are used as means to an end, namely money wealth in the case of the Middle East, in the form of oil reserves......" -- Colin.


The Master's Secret by Rebekah Faith (1)
"I think it's tight, in other words, I like it." -- Cedric McClester.


Soar by Angel Of Hope (1)
"Your passion for words is quite evident. This is beautifully aesthetic. Thanks for sharing...........peace!" -- Richard Evans.


Mother, Good-Bye by Angel Of Hope (1)
"This is so sad and so beautiful. I love the imagery of the birds taking her to the angels. Its lovely that something so good comes out of such a sad situation" -- Tamsin Butler, London.


Let Me See by Angel Of Hope (1)
"We love this poem. We like this bit: don't want to lay crying here any longer. The light is coming for me and making me stronger. " -- Escalatora, Liverpool.


Cleanliness Through The Debris by Angel Of Hope (1)
"Let me start by saying that I'm not a poet by any means (even though I want to become one and to incorporate it into my fiction), but this to my untrained eyes seemed pretty good. I've looked over several of your other pieces and this one does seem to be the best. This site has changed over the years and there are a lot of poets and song writers who have made the journey here. You would think with so many of them they'd band together and review one anothers works, but that doesn't seem to happen. Anyway, it was a very well done piece, and I congratulate you on a fantastic effort. Keep it up." -- Michael Harris, Detroit, MI.


Boring... by Angel Of Hope (1)
"Very nice, Keep it up!" -- Michael Skepevski.
