Oh, then all is forgiven.

I can't say I'm in total disagreement with what you say. There hasn't been a country song that I've liked in at least 8-10 years, but the old songs by Cash, Nelson, Hank and even Garth Brooks are definitely good.

now, that's not nice.

I've read several of yours and you are pretty good at writing lyrics. The biggest problem I've seen with some of them is the structure. That's pretty easily fixed though, when you put the words to music. It's all about editing when you get to that stage. You can tell the ones of mine that I wrote with a guitar and the ones I wrote...just writing. The ones I wrote w/o using a guitar don't flow nearly as well.

As far as the lyrics go though, not too shabby.

Allow me to explain this to you. Looking at your voting history, I can see that you have voted on...a grand total of 9 poems. How can you expect other people to read and vote on yours if you won't read and vote on theirs?

That's a good point.

The only part of your statement that's wrong is that "Christians are thick because they don't believe in Muslim." It was not my intent to say that. They're thick for a lot of reasons, but this isn't one. People are free to believe what they wish, but I don't think that they should push their beliefs onto me. I don't presume to tell anyone else what to believe and I simply ask that people don't try to tell me what to believe. I realize that they believe they are doing a good thing when they do so, but that is beside the point.

Also, just to clarify (and you probably don't care), but I'm not a Muslim either.

...and Zodiac, would you like to send me a check, money order, or use paypal for my 5 dollars?

Ok, as I said, I bet you can tell me what my purpose here is.

First, you are the shallow one, my friend. The reason is that you presume to tell me the purpose of my own life. I don't post comments on your poems telling you that you're shallow for your beliefs.

Second, you are assuming that I'm a Christian...which I am not. So, please take your religious propaganda elsewhere and let me believe what I wish.

...and I know....i'm going to hell. Just thought I'd say it before you did. So, sit back and lambast the Muslims because of a few zealots, drink your cocoa, and have a good evening.

Thanks,

Wilco

I suppose it would have been less shallow, had I written something about how I have some huge impact on the world.

In all seriousness, I don't know why God put me here...but I'm willing to bet that you could tell me. It's just about enjoying all the beauty that is the Earth, you nincompoop.

He is a monster....just a cuddly one.

I don't see how translating something makes it yours....So, if I'm in school and I translate a thesis written in Japanese to English.....it's not plagiarism? You're going to have to explain this one a little better.

interpretation is ever'ting, my good man.

The way I understand it, the last line must be identical to the second line, which I why it is what it is.

well, good job.
