["Jeremy Hodgins" Subject: ET: My poetry - I hope you like it..... EDA's, Well, I see that many of us a budding poets, so I thought that I would share some of my poetry with you all.....I hope you like them. PRESUME THE BEST. You presume, You make a connection between the Way I speak, Way I fell, Way I act. To a thing that your world frowns upon. You see me in ten years, Dressed in pink, feathers made to Resemble a Bassy Queen, And a voice that would make silk Fell harsh. In your heart you know, I am not all that, I am not transparent, But that you do this To impress your pack. For when we cross alone, Your eyes seem to become distracted, By some creature that rests in the ground, Your guilt? Your soul? And now I presume, that you have These, On your level, for you did this to me. If what you say is right, then in Your eyes, I am doomed - Yet, pink isn't such a bad colour - why all the fuss? WHITE. Thrown against a wall, A woman who should be dressed in white, She slumps to the ground, Limp and bloody, And another martyr is born. There have been many, Many that should be dressed in white, Tortured, bashed, and shot, They are down, But they will rise again. Captured for their beliefs, One can only wonder, What was so bad? So bad, that its thirst need be quenched With a life. Their slogan is 'peace brother', Killed for that? Like killing a baby for crying - So natural - So real. They were born under the Rising Sun, Or the Star, People before their time, But now, They'll never get there. Better though, As their cries and idealism will grow In another fresh child of light, another fresh Unwearied body - it does not matter which one Of our warm army - Just one - to sing songs of freedom - To led this phoenix army against The Object of my nightmares A leech like twin to our child, sucking life... The world grows heavy under the Crude weight of the child of Darkness and evil... This should not be, Perhaps is we all cried, Perhaps if we all cried...? SUCKER. I am weary now Of all this blood, these tears, These limbs, And yet I am not close to Them. You seem to want to do good To the ignorant eye But you know You have a thirst that cannot Be quenched. See not the dead See not the living See only your tunnel For there, you need not generate Light. You bring me down, You should not be here. You make me fell Like a drop of oil in a Ocean of hate and ignorance. Leek of leach, And suck somewhere else, For I am weary now, And dry.

This a brand new poem i just wrote. I dedicate it to a special friend. As usual any comment is more than welcome. Thanks. Claudia. **************************************************************************** *************************************************** Angel (To S.) How can a word bright up your darkest day, How can a thought make your heart fly, How can a hope break all the heavy chains of loneliness, How can kindness make you forget all the pain. You think that Hell is where you have always lived But one night something sparkles in the darkness. Suddenly a sweet melody fills your heart with a joy: An Angel is singing to you a lullaby And you feel so far from all the pain, You feel so light and high above your sufferings. All the deep wounds in your soul are just disappeared. You think that it must be just a dream But the following morning you open your tearful eyes And the Sun is right in front of you Shining back upon your Life. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 15:19:29 +0100 From: "FOSTER, ROBERT" Subject: ET: Poem Hi, i've only recently joined this list and this is my first posting. My name is Robert Foster, I come from Edinburgh, I'm 20 years old and I'm an Information Management student. I thought I would share one of my poems with you. By the way, this is the first time I've shown anyone any of my poetry so any comments are more than welcome. Frozen like some great mausoleum Time stands still Low whispering murmers break the silence A soundtrack to this somber scene. Good luck & best wishes to you all Robert ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 15:39:32 PDT From: "Jeremy Hodgins" Subject: ET: For people who take themselves too seriuosly!
