Your vision of the world is so bizarre WAV as to make it worthy of medical/psychological study. You patronize and insult so many people (without perhaps ever realising it) individually and in groups, races and nations.

Your lack of understanding in so many areas of human life beggars belief.

But Sean says you're a nice guy. Strange....

The other possibility is that you're one of the cleverest wind-up merchants ever, and don't really believe any of the tosh about which you pontificate.

I wish I knew

Apparently, folks, the Enigma code was cracked 70 years ago today!...what you are really saying is that I'm heavily against the status quo; but what you should, at least, accept is that, if living in England about 50 years ago, I would have been far less radical: some attitudes and values definitely have changed for the worse, in my opinion.

During a university break in Australia...

Poem 6 of 230: THE PICKER

While picking onions at Echuca,
    Betimes I came across a
Man who was, he said, by trade a picker.

A compact and stocky physique had he;
    Kind he was to first-time me -
Advising, "You should pick 'em on your knee."

Then he told me of his long-kept plan
    Of travel, by caravan,
To pick seasoned crops, over a wide span.

But workers' rates, I knew, were non too fair -
    Twenty dollars a tonne, there,
Was all the onion-crop owner could spare.

Though (with tally taken by some louse,
    And told to see owner or spouse),                                 
Believe me, they lived in some kind of house.

How dare you tell me 'what I am really saying'! I have said nothing of the kind, this is another case of your fevered brain assuming that everyone else is saying the same things as you. You are (judged by your own ceaseless blathering) a nasty, controlling,racist and sexist bigot, with no understanding of either your own culture or that of anywhere else. (I can show evidence of all of those terms from your actual posts, WAV, so don't bother denying them). Why would I want to agree with someone like that?
If you aren't doing it already, WAV, get some therapy. You are seriously disconnected and alienated from the real world around you. Get some friends. Get a job. Learn a musical instrument properly. Get some singing lessons. Read some proper history. Fall in love with someone other than yourself. Get a life.

No - if you go through all my posts, you'll only find that I've questioned the act of immigration itself, without ever knocking any particular race/ethnicity; and you'll soon find that, unlike many males, I really do have no problem with a female being a president or an archbishop. The attitude that "women can do ANYTHING" is very new - not that long ago, females could not compete in a marathon, e.g.

If, however, you go through the posts of one of my accusers here, Sean, you'll find language such as "Engrish frute" for a recorder made in Japan, or "I have friends at the pub who make racist jokes".

I've had Hindu friends who make jokes about Moslems, and Moslem friends who made jokes about Hindus - very often to each other's faces. Both made jokes about whites - very often to my face. I have been the butt of racist jokes for being both Jewish and Irish. So, a lot of awkward on-going history there, WAV, born of a political & human reality the nature of which you're neither experienced enough nor yet qualified to understand or yet pass comment on. This is English culture I'm on about - complex, interwoven, a little tense at times (thanks to the myth-making of idiots like you who continue to publish your racist lies) but hardly ripe for the interracial civil-war you seem to be anticipating. But better this reality than the ethnically cleansed whiter-than white folky fascist Christian hell that you would have us living under.

Otherwise - and once again - it was saintly Don Firth who coined the non-racist term Engrish Frute to celebrate the total absurdity of you calling your mass-produced black plastic Made in Japan cheapo recorder an English Flute. Engrish is a genuinely fascinating cultural & linguistic phenomenon with many books & websites devoted to it, such as THIS ONE.

Racism is publishing inflammatory lies like English culture is taking a hammering and, when people lose their own culture, society suffers.

Poem 37 of 230: RODEO DRIVE

On visiting Los Angeles,
    I thought I'd walk Rodeo Drive.
I'd passed a few up-market shops
    When an hombre said, "Take one please."

'Twas info. on exploitation,
    Which I read that night in my room.
It mentioned of the unfair gap -
    Sweatshop-wages to profit-on.

I left him to visit the john,
    Which was all clad in marble stone.
Then I walked past more fortune gowns
    To lunch: four bucks - fair profit-on.

We as Americans grind our hero's' bones for tea.
We drink it down and say "it's such a pity".
We lighten up in mysterious ways.
We embrace our heroes and turn them into strays.

Oh sure we love our athletes.
We love our amorous heroes.
We love our wealthy streets.
We love more reducing heroes
to sacrificial zeros.

When we are bored by excellence
When we tire of our benevolence
We cut the exalted down to size
We even tingle with enjoyment if our victim cries.
Ohhh it feels so good you can't imagine.
From rags to riches to rage is our fashion.

For example today's newspaper page
shows Tiger Woods in a hood
sporting a beard with the grimace of a cynic.
He is roaming the grounds,
of a sexual addiction clinic.

sip GULP mmmm

AAhh what could be better than Tiger Woods tea.
You see...
Now we can gloat,
vicariously
We Are Now Better Than He.

Tiger Woods Tea – a little dark
a little light with a dash of exotic spice
It packs a punch as strong as Ale
Such a pity, how soon it grows stale
See, now it's not fit for men or mice.

One man's gibberish is another man's gobbledeegook.

To be honest, you are not important enough for it to be about you.
Not that it is not about you because you don't matter, but rather
its not about you because you are not important enough for it to be about you.

Now if you were a corporation you could make sure of who you don't
want it to be about. But as it stands, you don't matter, because to be important you must wield huge capital, not law or constitutions.
Since you don't have meaningful capital that could enrich or diminish other super capitalists, its not about you.

For people who it is about, they look upon you and know that they can buy or sell your life and family for less than lunch money.
That is a feeling of pride and levity for those whom it is about.
They may feel and know that you don't matter, yet you still matter in the sense that it is not about you.

Thank you thank you very much...not you.

Poem 106 of 230: TESTING 4,3,2,1

I've tried to learn to sing a song
Well enough to let a singer
Know the way I found to sing
My lyric-only songs.

That is, just in case a singer
Was in want of a way to sing
These lyric-only songs.

But I'm sorry there's no notes with the songs,
And hope they're okay said, if not sung -

As love songs.

(P.S: writing, via mimicking, my tunes came late,
But they were all in shorthand by 2008.)

Poem 66 of 230: TO SCOTLAND, AGAIN

By coach from central Manchester -
    In-between stops at Bolton,
Carlisle and Hamilton -
    To Glasgow, these are sights I saw...

Some sheep, blotched vividly with blue,
    Filing down a well-worn path,
Did form a long woolly lath,
    Aimed at a lusher greener hue.

A farmer on a four-wheeler:
    His canine friend close beside.
A horse not on call to ride:
    On leave - a no-shoe non-heeler!

Convex pastures with heath-moorland;
    And flatter grain-planes below:
Cropped, awaiting till-and-sow -
    Perhaps with grazing beforehand.

Passed Edwin Waugh territory,
    Cumbria's sharp forms and tones
Compelled sense off seat-cramped bones
    To their well-honed long-read story.

Further north, farms of slighter falls:
    One a black-sheep specialist,
With some Friesians on the list -
    All held between old dry-stone-walls.

The Lakes behind, a strong Scotch mist
    Changed the sun to a full-moon
And hid scenery, till soon -
    Light, and the wide scenes on Burns' list.

New farms harnessing the wind's blow,
    Old white-and-grey-cottage views;
Plus pines, espousing the hues -
    In distinct leaf-tones - of Glasgow.

Poem 76 of 230: LAND RIGHTS

If there is a good thing,
    From the Second World War,
It's that most peoples learnt
    To conquer lands no more.

In Africa, Asia,
    And the Pacific, too:
Post-war independence -
    Steps only bigots rue.

But for some indigenes,
    Outnumbered much-too-much,
It has all come too late
    For liberty, as such.

So 'tis in Australia,
    And America's sites,
Where the best now, I think,
    Is to respect land rights.

Er, why should I keep your drivel in mind, WAV? Given that I don't give a stuff about Australia Day in the first place? What's the connection between pompous tripe about countries and indigenous people and a national holiday in Australia that seems to be just a good excuse for a booze up and a barbie? Please stop telling me what I should and shouldn't do.

--Your "poetry" sucks.
--It has been posted repeatedly before.
--It is full of bigoted and racist statements.
--That which isn't racist is often incredibly juvenile.
--It is obvious to most that you have limited knowledge of the world, especially considering your supposed travels.

Suggesting racism and bigotry after a poem about "Land Rights", and wondering why it was posted, are examples of ignorance, you two.

WAV, old fruit,

I have to concur with Spaw's assessment of your poetic skills and virtues, which I find to be inverted. On a scale of 1 to 100 they hover in the region of minus 75. I have seen worse, you will be glad to hear, but never so persistently promoted as though they were worth sharing. I am sure, however, there are other things you do quite well, so I suppose it would not hurt to give up on the rhyes now that you have been through the whole inventory multiple times with rather little acceptance.

"Minus 75" in your opinion, Amos - others have subscibed to my myspace blog and praised, at least, some of my verses. And, whilst many of my poems (but probably not the following one) may be old-hat to the likes of you, God knows how many new people are arriving at Mudcat and this thread.

Watching the Australian Open on T.V., the following distractions have been happening far too often, sadly; and, indeed, security have just ejected a "fan"...

Poem 222 of 230: FROM THE MINORITY

More-and-more at tennis tournaments,
    Cheap-shots drop from somewhere in the crowd:
A whistle during a service-toss,
    Or, in rallies, calls of "out" out loud.

All these events have security,
    So, if goons try such to dupe a win,
Perhaps umpires should ask a guard
    To watch the area of the sin.

The way to get favourable Blog comments:

1. Post some tripe
2. Find a poetry Blog elsewhere, and say how good the poetry there is is - then link to the tripe in 1.
3. Wait for the pleased responses and praise from the person you've just brown nosed
4. Repeat 1. ad nauseam.


Now if someone publishes a collection of your works...

Why is it important that new people should be exposed to your jingoistic xenophobic chauvinist homophobic illiterate posts?

Idiotic "responses" - for starters, I've enjoyed travelling, on a shoe-string, through about 40 countries.

You are copy/pasting blatant hypocrisy there, Spaw.

Yesterday, BBC News announced that the inequality here has increased under New "Labour", and that, despite the Democrats recent efforts, in the U.S.A. it is even worse...

Poem 105 of 230: GLOBAL REGULATIONISM

No income-scale would be unjust -
    It's a matter of degree;
And, to have less inequality,
    Regulations are a must.

For, in Millennium's status quo,
    The pay-gaps for human work,
And what's gotten simply as a perk,
    Are wrong - inhumanely so.
