Anarchy / I got published...Twice!!!!!!
« on: May 10, 2008, 10:00:08 AM »
I entered a poetry contest run by creative communications inc. early in the fall of last year and again on april 4th of this year. Both of my poems were selected to be published in anthologies of the contests. I am extremely happy about this.

The poems were called Unhidden and Soldier(author)

Here they are. Tell me what you think of them.


Unhidden
By Ethan King

2007-2008 School Year

I have never been a hidden man

I walk within plain sight

and yet none dare approach me

to find out what's inside

and as it goes unfettered

my thoughts my hopes my dreams

I continue moving slowly

as lonely as a stream

and so I find a hidden stream

and join it in its path

and continue moving slowly

to meet the ocean in its wrath

the ocean represents the whole

my stream is only one

and so ends the story

but my journey has just begun


Soldier (author)
by: Ethan King
 
I've been hobbled, me

a soldier born and bred.

I can't fight for what's right,

so I write it down instead

but I'm still a soldier

and as for the sword

not greater than, but equal is the written word

a time and place for both of these

we fight in war, we write in peace

some shed blood and some shed ink

others fight that I might think

and in this time and in this place

hand to hand and face to face

the sword is rusty, the knight, a churl

they didn't believe a pen could change the world.


I didn't win the contest that I entered last fall, but they are still voting on the spring 2008 contest. Wish me luck.

If I were TheJudge, gravy would be the answer.

If I were TheJudge, I'd tell you to turn it upside down and degauss it.


If you were me, you'd be good looking.

I think any one of these would make a good T-shirt.

I started paying attention in my classes instead of getting on here. :-D straight A's this year.
So now I finally got my car, and my license. Now the oil companies raise the price on gas so I can't drive it. :x

This just happened while I was reading the thread.

Teacher: Damn it Taylor, just hand me the needle!

Taylor: ok.

*Taylor takes out the needle.*

*Teacher puts hand out, palm up.*

Taylor: Can I stab you with it?

Me: Did you just say "Can I stab you with it?"

Taylor: yup.

Now that looks painful, and if that's how you get wings then I feel sorry for you. Personally, I'll stick with my Red Bull. :-)

A Christian believes that the man Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the embodiment of the Creator of the Universe, who was born of immaculate conception, who was executed in gruesome fashion by being litterally nailed to a cross-shaped wooden structure and allowed to slowly die of exposure, whose death was allowed by the Creator of the Universe as an absolution of mankind's sins, and who, after being pronounced dead, appeared alive to his followers and walked the earth for a time before arising to heaven. Further, a Christian believes that the Creator of the Universe intends for us to emulate Jesus Christ in our everyday life by our own free will.


And then they worship the cross. If I died that way, I wouldn't want to see one again. That's just one of those things that make me stop and ask what they are thinking.

I managed to get into my school's dual credit computer programming class, in spite of my medical problems which resulted in many absences. I will be in the class for at least two years. Any tips for me?

I think that keeping him alive, rotting in prison, we'd possibly be able to extract more information from him. I also think that murdering a former dictator means his supporters will come out of the woodwork and exact revenge.

  That is very true, and I personally wouldn't have taken this course of action, however if they actually hang him, then the most powerful dictator around will finally be dead, or he might just stick around as electricity and zap George W. Bush, which would start to make up for the trouble he's caused so far.

To Die For: Saddam Sentenced to be Hung
"The court has decided to sentence defendant Saddam Hussein al-Majid to death by hanging until he is dead." - Chief Judge Raouf Abdel Rahma

To the surprise of no one, days before the midterm elections in the US, the former Iraqi leader, Saddam "Didn't We Used to be Bros" Hussein was sentanced today to death by hanging for his crimes against humanity.

After a failed assassination attempt in 1982, Saddam masterminded the murders of 148 Shiites in the village of Dujail. A year later he shook hands with Donald Rumsfield.

His defense lawyers (the ones who replaced the three others who were murdered during the trial) argued that Saddam had let all 148 stand trial, before they were killed.

"The court allowed defendants to commission a lawyer and if a defendant was not able to hire a lawyer then the court would appoint one for him. The court also was allowing all defendants to talk freely," a witness who testified behind a curtain said in May.

But Saddam's luck ran out and he and several others were found guilty and will be hanged in a few months if his appeals don't pan out.

As the verdict was being read, Saddam rudely interrupted the judge by yelling, "Long live Iraq! Long live the Iraqi people! Down with the invaders. God is great. God is Great. God is great... To hell with your articles and clauses...Down with the traitors!"

 Just thought that I'd ask what you people thought about this little bit of news.

Heres something that I wrote, I can't sing and can't play any instruments well, so I don't have an exact tune for it.

Fear
Fear is something I continue to live with
I'm fighting it daily like a terminal illness
Life on this earth is a constant phobia
Living within the most battle hardened warrior
Anyone living in a life that's beyond fear
Is someone who's living in a place that's beyond here
The life that we lead is plagued by doubt
the fear is something that we all know about
so don't stop to think, no you can't even blink 
You'll think of the fear, then you'll run back to here
And I live in a dream and the dream is of fear
So the fear is my life because she left me here.
