I love the fact that I wrote a political poem and it brought forth torrents of xenophobia and even a little homophobia - not quite sure where that came from. Have any of you people heard of irony? Or the dramatic monologue - the narrator of a poem is not always the author. By the way, more people were killed by US bombing than died on September 11. And 9,000 people die of AIDS each day, the majority in sub-Saharan Africa. Pup that in your pipe and smoke it.
