Premium Member Empty Wishin'

Increased carbon dioxide emissions
  Fuel catastrophic climate premonitions

Though reductions based on volition
  Are toasted with suspicion
Form: Epigram


A Letter From the Irs

You have disregarded instructions
Thus claiming improper deductions
Send money by mail
And IF you should fail
Your paycheck will suffer reductions...

Premium Member Hellish statistics '

A universal income worldwide, said to lift
Millions out of poverty.' There however? Is
A possibiliy i detest and deride.' The cost to
The administrators billionaires themselves
Will engender mass population reductions
Or just plain murder? Or genocide i'll leave
You to work out the best description all by
Yourselves.'

Gina Rinehart

There once was a woman called Gina
Who really was rather obscena
While folks had the blues
She wore gold on her shoes
She's as popular as cyclone Katrina.

* Gina Rinehart is Australia's richest person and 
supports political parties who promote tax  
reductions for the rich and the watering down 
of environmental protection laws.

The Poet

I sing songs to memories.
Some tunes triumphant,
like that of the pirate king.
Others be useless to bear.
Poems are effigies,
from reductions and shadows.

But sometimes the hand
is blessed by miracle.
And the verse more
perfect, proper, and true -
than any of you. 
Far more true than the sun.
Even more true than death.
That poem moves the world.
