You're right, Nan. I apologize to lizzytysh for my outburst. It was uncalled for and stupid. In fact, I feel bad for polluting the LC forum with my trollish behavior. Sorry, lizzytysh. At the time, I was upset over something I read about the Iraq 'war' and decided to attack an American over it. And ...

You live in Florida, eh?
Are you a republican, or just one those people who votes for whoever
you think is sexier?

They're not 'evacuating' anybody from the Gaza strip. The Israelis are
simply withdrawing their settlers who had no right to be in Palestinian land
in the first place.

Might I point out to lizzytysh that the Soviet empire, also known as the U.S.S.R, disintegrated in 1991. Soviets have been out of vogue for over a decade. The proper term now used is, 'Russian'. The shooting afore-mentioned occured in the Gaza strip, I do believe. A place where the Israelis (with U....

From today's perspective:

1. In My Secret Life
2. Avalanche
3. The Window (Live-version)
4. Seems So Long Ago, Nancy
5. Suzanne
6. Anthem
7. First We Take Manhatten
8. The Guests
9. The Law
10. There For You

Though you're not taken with statistics
(and for that I lay no blame),
Your body and soul in the depths of ardour
put the fruits of my action to shame.

Beat.
Beat.
Bleat.
Ignominious defeat.

This guy is obviously a troll.
Yep; just a troll with semen stains all over his monitor. If he can read this
through a thick coat of dried, porn-induced cum, I say: FUCK YOU.

And I thank you for you reply.

Let me know what you think of my other poems.

Thank you for reading my post. I imagine you could say that 'planting trees' is making a reference to an act one commits that is wholly good, yet at a time when there are more pressing issues. But I suppose this means many things that are hard to elaborate in this fashion. Quite honestly, I've never...

Welcome, Republic: another day can pass without us getting serious. May I take your bags? We have time to dump gasoline in wetlands. We have time to make our children zombies. We have ample strength to kill infidels. (yet lack the ability to shoot ourselves) We can maintain our silence in the food-c...

I stir the coffee in my cup, a cloud goes by the café window, someone’s shouting in my ear, making it so goddam useless to admire those clouds, and that sweet coffee. Ooh; let’s have another conversation: about how you can’t recognize beauty unless it stands between your shaded eyes and that cloud i...

Is it (perhaps) true that when men make ways of love open doors are cracked and people in the house are taken away? Or maybe (just maybe), they leave in fear of having to depart and cross the desert learning to admire ugliness. If we can stop that exodus, if we can start this exodus, i’d take you in...

I was planting trees.
I admit it was wrong,
and I’m sorry for my dedication.
But you see,
that same urge is killing you also.

Thanks!

Towards the end of 'The Favourite Game', there is a passage describing the death of the young camper Martin Stark. I was simply wondering if this event was a factual one in LC's life, or invented for use in the novel. One can only imagine the impression of seeing a child "terribly squashed"...

If you are waiting
for things to change
I suggest
you stand by the sea
and count the teaspoons
you will drink
before the bottom is revealed.
And if someway
you do shrug
and find yourself unsatisfied
take a walk through this city.
