A man peered through his iron grille and sighed,
the world outside was quiet and still, he cried:-
"Young men of youthful age, in my life's book there's a page,
which I gladly would tear out and throw aside.
For ten long years I've been here now, in pain,
I clearly can remember how I came,
I was won't to do the wrong then my 'Big Chance' came along,
so I broke man's treasured laws to 'Make a Name'.
When I say to 'Make myself a Name' I mean,
Among the thieves to rise to fame, unclean,
but listen now to me, a thief outside I may be
inside here, I'm just another old 'Has Been'.
Your sins go hand in hand life through in pairs,
your destiny depends on you and prayers,
If you ever stop to count, you will find the true amount
of your wrong deeds in your Mother's greying hairs!"..........Eliko.
Thought I would like to change the subject for a moment folks, hope you don't mind.  |

It's no secret...I have a few posted there and the great thing is you get comments from real poets.
The site is.

Here is one that I am sure will interest you after all your
Plutoed
by zan
Follow the sharrows’
To avoid the climate canary
For green is a snowclone.
I julie,
And you come
But he is lactard
To the milk of human kindness.
I waterboard
The decider
About his flog
I feel I have pwn’ed him
But he holds tight
To his data valdez
The fox lips
Spew Islamic macaca moments
That stay the course
We wait the sudden jihad syndrome
And soon he will be plutoed.

| zan, Thanks mate, I will post one or two and see how it goes, I often scribble down my thoughts and put them to one side, some of them are (if I'm allowed to blow my own trumpet) quite good, in my humble opinion. |

| 'Fraid that is a bit beyond my ken at this time of the night zan, nice words, very deep, I tend to express my own works in much simpler terms. |
