too late for rhyme

a weary voice across the line
feels like shattering glass
flying off and piercing fast
right across a gutless spine

a crumpled piece of dirty sheet
crammed full of striked out lines
in the garbage can it goes! oh sweet
right where there's no need for rhymes

a bitterpill was fearlessly swallowed
a wry smile from a pith now hallowed
tired eyes suddenly begins to weep
perfect words whispered in her sleep.

This is for my last paper this sem. PLEASE HELP ME! What book did you like best? AENEID or ILIAD? and WHY?
Please don't give me shallow reasons like "because it's enjoyable, easier to read, etc". Something like "because in this book I learned that or it taught me... BLABLA".
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!

I mean think about it. Many(not all) Human beings seem to like doing things that they know are wrong & have to pay severe consequences if they are caught but yet do it anyway. Like murder. Rape. Hating each other b/c of race color nationality religion instead of realizing we should all work together to make this planet a peaceful place. Acting as if war & killing innocent civillians is the only answer to problems. Trying to hurt & kill others over something as petty as a sporting event. Making bombs for the purpose of destroying the very planet we live in. Cheating on others to make a buck. I have seen cats dogs & other animals treat their children better than the way some human beings treat their children. Does this sound like human beings are smart? Not to me it doesn't. I'll probably be called a liberal or even worse for ths question but that's how i feel. Have a good one everybody.

Im secular talking from a historic point of view not a religous one.
He and his early followers were phisicaly abused and toutured and also verbally abused.They were starved and beaten.The prophet bleaded because rocks were thrown on him and they had to leavr Mecca and leave Medina were the people were nicer.He respected the Cristians and Jews.He gave women more rights compare to the Arab pagons who use to burl thier infant dauther in the sand.He also gave the right for women to worl and own property.He attacked at the end in Mecca and braking the statues whitch the pagons believed it was there Gods.Hwe then said truth has come and false hood has vanished.If he killed without merch like most people say why didnt he kill all of the pagons at oncrand why did he tolerate Jewish and Christians?Why was he phiscally beaten and did not fight back?

I bought a Rolleiflex 2.8e and the taking lens on it seems scratched or infected (fungus). Does this affect picture quality? Here are two photos of it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2108/1500839612_dbcb2578c7_b.jpg and http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2045/1500017307_01ae75bcc5_b.jpg.

I write a bit of poetry, but it seems the poems that I write that I like others don't and the ones that I think are immature and too sing-song, ppl like? I don't know whether people are just being flattering or they really like it? I want to know how to get a bit of constructive criticsm and learn to develop my poetry further. Any help would be appreciated

Did you know that in the days of Nazi concentration camps and Hitler, special chemicals were put into the food to sterilise the women.
Horrible, huh? No wonder we hate Hitler so much...
Did you know that in 1994/1995 the World Health Organisation oversaw mass vaccinations in Nigeria, Mexico, Nicaragua (12-49) and the Phillippines of women 15-45 against tetanus or polio which were laced with sterilisation agents?
Horrible, huh? Pity I never knew about that one until yesterday.
If you don't believe me, just google vaccination+population control.

On Yahoo Answers I mean?

I often find such people have very little of interest to say.

I'd rather be a free thinker than an educated snob.
