Hey guys. This is a poem I wrote about life in the city, and the way America is all about rushing and not looking back. Enjoy and please criticize!

People are walking

Along the crowded streets they rush, only

Stopping for the speeding cars

They rush past the poor musician playing

Beautiful music, for they are too busy

going places.

The homeless man sits next to the musician, thankful

For his blanket as he searches for hope.

Everyone is different here, but they appear

The same in their suits- these crowded streets

could be more than just a city

These rushed people cry out to be more, more

Than a blur of unspoken colors.

Each one has an unheard story

An America that is hidden, untouched

I am young, but I have seen the people walking

Along the crowded streets, some envy

How fast these people walk.

I envy the homeless man, who walks slowly.

If so, what advice would you give someone who once believed, but has lost their faith? No Christian fundamentalist answers please - I'm not looking to be "saved", I just want to believe that there is some purpose to life again.

I'm at a toss up. I can't really lean toward any one side. FDR created some really good programs under the New Deal that helped millions of people. But ultimately, they didnt accomplish what they wanted to do with the new deal.
What are your thoughts??

Provided your habits, tendancies and desires are not harmful to yourself or others, do you think it's wiser to follow the blueprint nature has wrote for you and be who you are, and want what you want? Or do you agree that it's your responsibilty to try to change and improve into something better, if you think that can be achieved with self denial, discipline and training?

I was outraged when I looked at her website http://www.sylvia.org/home/readings.cfm and saw that she charges $$750.00$$ for a psychic reading and her psychic reading lasts only 20 -30- minutes long. This is in U.S. dollars and I'm on disability in Canada...that would eat up the entire funds for a month of my disability pay....and that does not include the long distance bill that would accrue [she doesn't even have a 1-800 number to call. She has written over 30 books - many being bestsellers-I don't know why, I read one that was total crap]...She is Sooooo rich , and she can't even afford to have a 1-800- number or give to the poor by lowering her prices! My son was right when he stated in his will/suicide note that "Greed rules the world". It even says on her site that her and her son are the best psychic readers in the world -such conceit! I believe that Edgar Cayce was the best psychic that ever lived in North America...

Can anyone elaborate on what is meant when Nietzsche said, "Prayer to men.-- "Forgive us our virtues" -- thus one should pray to men." And also this one: "Not their love of men but the impotence of their love of men keeps the Christians of today from -- burning us."

I have no idea on the first one. The second one he seems to be saying something about Christians lack of love for people that keeps them from killing us. If that's even close to what he means, he doesn't elaborate as to how he came to this conclusion.There is a footnote in my book about it that says basically that if Christians were concerned for the salvation of others they would still burn those whose heresies lead legions into eternal damnation. I don't get what Nietzsche is getting at here...

i play clarinet in a symphony. and auditions for seats are coming up. (for those who do not know what im talking about. i mean seats as in a competition for the first seat....as in whos the best)
i have really strict parents and they really want me to get first seat. i agree with them. i really have no reason not to get first. my parents have bought me the best quality instrument. but still......im so frustrated. i noticed that recently...ive kinda fallen out of clarinet. i dont feel the same feeling when i play anymore. i feel like ive lost a part of me. i feel so ashamed cause i know i shouldnt feel this way. . the audition peice is not very hard at first. but if u analyze it closely, there r some small things that make a BIG difference. and....its so hard to llearn. everytime i go over it it seems like im not improving. no, i cant quit now. i trie to listen to other clarinet players in hopes that it will inspire me. but, it just makes me feel pathetic what can i do?

I have been in school play, made up play with my friends and also auditioned for John Robert Powers..but I didn't do it because it was a little too expensive.

If so how much does it cost? Where can it be done and is there a certain age you have to be? I don't know my real dad and my mom's family is so mixed up we can't do the math to find out what we really are. I just want to know who I am in terms of heritage.
