Re: Poetry here.
Understand Why is a star when reversed rats and can love be so evol You cry and wonder why and yet aspire to a steeple This thing that is of us a thing which you must trust A love beyond thine eye more profound than you or i. I like this one, the reversal of words spelling others is interesting

Maybe somewhere in South America you h...

Muslims in the West
The West is currently destroying the Middle East - and has murdered people there on a genocidal scale - and it's ongoing. In recent history it was the US along with its followers who went into Afghanistan to kill Osama. This bled into Iraq - the war on terror - and other countries followed - Libya -...

Re: Poetry here.
YES, thanks. It comes partly from a real event - a true story - reality - maybe this is what gives it a bit of kick

I'm up shit creek without a paddle
How did I get here
What horrendous thing did I do
To deserve this

I'm being punished for that, now
That's crazy and something I've created solely in my head

Re: AUTOCUE
No it just means that the reader has considered in detail exactly what he wants to say You mean speaker. It is hardly ever coming from the speaker - there are speech writers of course - the public figure reads out the words penned by another or group of others - this is no problem supposedly with t...
