Transcendental Sonnet #1302:
If the Shoe Fits: Stuff it!

Author's Note: This sonnet is not about contemporary Germans, Americans,
or anybody in particular except for narrow people who are fond of censorship
wherever they are, and they are everywhere.

Grandma used to call the Nazis "Noxies"
A reference to their obnoxiousness
Now as I suffer under their proxies
I understand what she meant more than less
Finding their fetters to be demeaning

I would rather speak plain and be borne away
By Neanderthals in the broad light of day
Captive poetry cries out for its meaning
One tires of being ruddy bloody mincing

So do your worst you cowardly hypocrites!
The status quo is false and unconvincing
And who do I mean then? Well if the shoe fits:
Stuff it! For I will be a doormat no more
But I will be happy to show you the door

Thank you, dear Krishna; you are most gracious, as always.

I am a disabled person living in the USA with "Permanent Absent Voter" status; I always vote by mail because it is hard for me to go to the polls. As you know, there was a great deal of excitement about the November 2004 presidential election here, and I was very much involved; I voted a month early, by mail, as always.

I just received a card in the mail chastising me for not voting in that election and telling me that my "Permanent Absent Voter" status was revoked. It did allow, however, that if I would sign this card and return it immediately, that former status would be returned to me.

My point? My vote was not counted.

Why?

i am 27 years young! but a 54years old for the retardation i feel most often...

whether its india,middle east or anywhere i've been or heard of...the only truth i learned haunds...

this is not the time to love for nothing in return...

prayers for ur well being my friend.
