Geoff, my reason for posting was not that I liked the lyrics/poetry whatever you may want to call it or agreed with its sentiments.
I posted it becuase it concerned me that this sort of e-mail encourages people to send it to other poeple who have e-mail, thus ensuring it gets to a mass market. Note the last line of the e-mail says "If you are English pass it on please"

I do not forward any sort of e-mail like this on. Its pure spamming, but I was concerned about its origins etc.
