I've never had protection from you before as you smiled and smirked
Maybe you should tell me a joke about a mental health system full of
torturer's
Perhaps it's time for this system so cold to tell what it knows
My inner life is a death camp
The flowers outside my room
I cannot believe the dark energies have not killed their colours
I need to get well by having treatment choices right now
I do not need to hear a moral speech from the forces of evil
I love my country
I may have to move to that hole London again to get well
The only cure for this depression is in the form of a pill they call illegal
Call what you don't like illegal but cover your arses while my death is seen
as nothing for 12 years
All on my own with my pills and a horrible job just to earn enough is all
that I need
I have been tortured for to long
Thanks again authority machine for yet more needless pain
You the manufacturer of misery please die.
BABYMASH.

I need to get warm hands by having new pills right now,

are really torture pills again.
Doctor, why do you hurt me so? I need the secret drugs

I feel your pain Glen.. I hope you can find a center to your life
and make it work for you.. Ignore the people who are programmed to attack
you..
You know, there are always those in a crowd.. It is built into genes, the
stone throwing,
the name calling.. It is about 'weeding out the weirdos', the ones who do
not fit in..
In a perfect world, we would all be born to a niche.. But that is not how
life works..
The way life works is this: Flood every place with genes, let the genes
battle it out,
the genes that learn to deal with the stresses / ordeal of life, win..
So you are born with a larger scale of emotions, it can be beautiful, it can
be a hell..
If you found a perfect balance for them and had some good history to back
you up,
you could be a great artist, if not, your'e just another guy down in the
ditch with the
crowd stoning you..
Glen, I hope you learn to ignore the stones and that you will find your way
out of the
ditch, to a state of harmony, both inside you and around you..

It was full of disrespect for Babygro's hilariously bad attempt to write a
poem. Since the hilariously bad attempt was trollishly cross-posted to a
poetry forum (as usual), j r sherman was fully entitled to comment on it
unfavourably (and, indeed, hilariously).
After all, what do we, in rec.arts.poems (the forum to which Babygro
trollishly cross-posts), know or care about what your hero is "going
through", or his "personal life"? All we know of him is that he writes
poetry like a dyslexic afterbirth with a brain-numbing hangover.
But thanks for enlivening an otherwise quiet week.

It depends on ones view about it. The main thing would be, just what the
original author happens to think about it. Taking into account that
Junior's previous posts have mainly not been very good ones of reply, also
says something about it.

And I'm sure if BM doesn't like the reply then he will chose to ignore or
retaliate.
Everytime that you or others jump to his defence you give others a reason to

I admire Glen for his honesty.. For the fact that he spills outs his guts,

people it is so hard that, instead of being able to face their problems,
by talking about them openly, they turn a gun on themselves and pull
the trigger..
That is what Glen has been doing all along.. I admit, I do not read his
every post, but when I do, I can often see that he is dealing with very
painful issues of his life.. I have nothing against that, about fellow
humanbeing
going through some issues of his life in a forum of his choise.. I wish him
the best..

For the little bit of space that Glenn's posts take up, people don't have
to read them, and then reply to them if they can't be reasonable about it

Neze is a small island and they're never really
quite sure what to do with their time.
Sorry Antti . . . I have to disagree here.
Poetry is not fucking therapy! I use to hear this
all the time in the poetry group I went to. Many
of them thought of poetry as therapy. Bullshit.
Writing is therapy. I'm cool there. Writing,
as a matter of fact, can be GREAT therapy!
It is one thing to have an emotional fit
and then rationalize it on paper, but to
call it 'poetry'. Not!
Writing is putting your thoughts down on
paper. The 'craft' of writing is taking these same
thoughts and molding them to the point of
genuis. Antti, Mash, Bob Ez and a few others
often jot down their poetic thoughts and
inspirations on paper (or computer) but this
does not make it poetry, no matter how
poetic the intentions. Poetry is also a 'craft'.
It is work. You attempt to express yourself
as poetically as possible on paper, based
on traditional or contemporary 'poetic techniques'.
And then you work it baby . . . attempting to make
it the best you possibly can . . . so that it
reaches for the that pinnacle we call 'art'.
So if even I enjoy reading the often counter-social,
youthful ravings of Mash . . . does not make it poetry.
No matter what any Neze defends it to be.
In the same vein, Antti often writes great stuff,
and I enjoy reading it . . . but it is not always poetry.
I also write a lot of shit and I'll be the first one
to admit that some of it is 'poetry' and much of it
well . . . eh . . . whatever.
-Max (with apologies to the psychotherapists in the group)
Was that a bowel motion that you wish to support?

Honesty is indeed commendable. It doesn't make it poetry however.
It takes a heck of a lot of courage.. For some

And some even consider looking for help in dealing with their problems
rather than annoying a newsgroup with their garbage dressed up as poetry.

Nor do I, as long as one doesn't call it poetry. It isn't.

His imagining that what he writes is poetry is perhaps worse than that which
he faces in his own life. Perhaps he should address his real issues first
and then write.
> When it comes to comparing people on basis of poetry..

If one says it is poetry, then one is subject to others' opinions on that.

I slightly disagree with you here, Max (only slightly). I think that
writing poetry CAN be therapeutic. However, to post it here and call it
poetry and be surprised when others consider it dreck, is well, pretty
silly.

Well, one can call it whatever one wants to but one has to accept that if
one posts it here, then others are going to have their own opinions on
whether or not it is a reasonable poem or not and to comment on that.

I agree, completely. Writing poetry is a craft and sometimes one finds
one's craft acceptable to others, sometimes not. Merely writing one's
insanity down doesn't make it poetry.

I'll only clarify this one point Marge. You're right, writing poetry
can be therapeutic, but most of the time the end result
is not poetry. There is a difference between writing poetry as
a therapeutic release and coming up with a poem, vs.
writing therapeutically thinking it is poetry when it is
actually only an emotional release. Just had to clarify my statement.

Why apologies? It's often been said and I agree completely that a
distressed baby's scream isn't a poem already. The only point you see a bit
wrong imo and I'd like to add is that a distressed baby's scream in itself
isn't therapy already either.

> JR's right again . . . American wannabe's
You, sir, are seriously deluded.
I can be accused of many things but "American wannabe"? you have got to be
joking.
I imagine a great many psychologists would have a field day with your self
infatuation... why oh why would anyone want to be a "wannabe" of a country
that survives on such shallow materialistic concepts? You lack culture,
history and the ability to look outside your own back yard. Take your Pepsi,
your britney spears, your reality TV, your gun toting kids, your decrepit
presidents and your narcissistic delusions and stick them up your arse. (Yes
arse is akin to "ass"). BTW please offer thanks to all your fellow
countrymen who continue to flock to NZ in their droves - thus boosting our
tourism industry and introducing us to a diverse range of NZ wannabes.

And you wonder why such a large percentage of the world hates you as a
population - there are many great people in the US it is such a shame that
it has such a large percentage of loud mouthed wankers (jerk offs) to give
it the bad rep it has.
Maybe we are trying not to encourage you?
Maybe we are hoping that you may scuttle off back to the old folks home if
we pretend you don't exist. *Ding Ding* little blue pill time.
Jay
And you are the definitive guide as to what is and what isn't poetry?
I was under the impression that poetry was covered by the term 'art' which
is supposed to be appreciated/depreciated by the reader. Personally I find
99% of it to be drab dribble but then again I choose not to comment either
way. You, on the other hand, are so ready with your critiques I can only
imagine you hold down a regular job as some sort of world renowned expert on
the subject.
Jay
As I am one of those readers, yes I have the right to an opinion about it.

Good. Means you have *some* common sense.

Nope, just a poet and poetry critic. I make comments on poetry posted in a
public newsgroup. Sorry that offends you.

Doesn't offend me in the slightest.
I just question your motives when coming across a poem that doesn't appeal.
Some could say hmmmm not overly keen on that one - others could choose to
resort to personal attacks and ridicule - just curious as to why you chose
the latter?

Rex, a large percentage of the world hates Jesus.. I don't get your point.
I don't ever remember the world being force fed on Shakespearian(sp)
idealisms.
I have heard America boast "we've got the bomb".
I'm yet to hear England boast "we've got the bard".

Many strange life forms have evolved in and around New Zealand, because they
have no natural enemies. Even so, Jay's right that the desire to be American
is the one most American thing.

Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging
people to volunteer in their communities? It's because volunteers work for
no money. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no money
for a long time. George Carlin.
HEY MARG I DON'T CARE, BUT AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTED EVEN IF I DON'T CARE THAT
ANNOYS MR ROSS SO IT SEEMS BEING BORN WAS PRETTY MUCH A MISTAKE.
THE LESSON IS YOU CANNOT PLEASE PEOPLE EVER SO GET OVER IT KIDS, LOVE AND
PILLS TO ALL.
BABYMASH.
HEHE HMMM AND YOUR POINT IS ????? YOU LIKE PAIN ?
SUCK MY TONGUE BABY.
BABYMASH.
defect. we have better weather. although the only towns where you can rent a
place here in CA is Fresno or Redding. but sometimes you have to give something
to get something.
and our women are better looking(oh, that should set off a few!)
wait a minute:
WELL GREAT
I'M GLAD
PEOPLE CAN LAUGH,
AT ME
WITH ME
WHATEVER
IT'S COOL
add some obligatory "oh baby's" to the end of this and it could be a Britney
Spears lyric!
you don't have her tasty teen ass, but hell, it's a start!
just trying to help.
god, you are a carp-like people. and jay, you're one of the carpiest of the
carp-like people.
>I imagine a great many psychologists would have a field day with your self
>infatuation...
they do already. but what's amusing is that you always take our jingoism to
heart.
jay, a bulletin, we say these things to annoy you, get a rise, get a response.
it seems to work. do the math, man.
>why oh why would anyone want to be a "wannabe" of a country
>that survives on such shallow materialistic concepts?
because we have all the money! again, do the math!
>You lack culture,
>history and the ability to look outside your own back yard.
yeah, but we can bomb you to kingdom come and make you our slaves. hell, you're
a slave to us already! :D
>Take your Pepsi,
i prefer coke, and so do you guys!
>your britney spears,
not a problem. i would love to pound Britney into the floor. as i was doing her
rough i would make her say, "my songs suck!my songs suck!" it's a role playing
game of sorts.
>your reality TV,
hey, the Euros, ya know, the one's with the superior culture, did all of that
first.
>your decrepit presidents
Bush is only in his 50's, Clinton was 54 when he left office. sure, to a kid
like you that might seem old. but i don't see it. besides, due to our superior
medical research our leaders are now able to live until they're 159 years old!

heh. our narcissistism is a complete reality.

*****like Thurman. of course with British cooperation we'll
be able to reanimate postmortem. (don't tell me Keith Richards
hasn't been walking around dead for the last decade or so)
