Wrongs

There are wrongs darker than death or night
wrongs that make you scream in fright.
Darker than night is murder and it's color is black
for the creature who kills has no soul, this his body must lack.
Hatred stares death in the eye
for this many a good soul had to die.
Stealing, lying, cheating are only a few
of the evils that men do.
All of these things are wrong
but we have set aside a place for them to belong.
I'ts okay to tell a lie
It's okay to steal
It's even okay to kill.
For the wrong that's darker than death or night
is the legal killing of an unborn child who didn't have
the chance to say
"I don't want to die"

Almost Gone

I reached into my breast shaking with fear
pulled my heart out
holding it in my trembling hands
I was so amazed to see how little I had left
There was just a tiny bit of flesh pulsing there
Tears started to flow down my face so slowly
One teardrop fell upon my heart, sparkled and shimmered
and slowly sank into what was left of my heart.
Years of such terrible pain and loss had caused my heart
to almost disappear.
With hands shaking violently with grief I placed what was
left of my heart back into me.
Clasping my hands I went down upon my knees,
looking up I prayed to God
"Please let me keep this small part of me
my heart is almost gone,
keep me safe from letting anyone steal what is left of me"

I read a thing, I don't enjoy, but do not criticise.
"Feel it. Just take it in.", are words, from the wise.
I leave it be, or, guide its author, gently;
I don't act as though "Poetry Heaven" sent me.
I need not, your words of dislike, for my rhyme;
Trust me, if you will, you're wasting your time.
Especially, if your own, are so impersonal;
you might as well, have pasted mine.

Mine are written, with feeling and thought.
Fame, is someone, they've never sought.

So, I give you, freely, a rhyme or two.
Brilliantly, you might criticise;
yet, still, I would not trade minds with you.
Accept my words, or not; be respectful.
Sheltered, you are not; by the title "Intellectual".

"Criticise", I say! I'll only ignore, and simply move my eyes.
Knowing criticism of poetry, is not a hobby of the wise.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.

Going against the master,
struggling to go faster and faster.
Pinned, forked, skewered, and I'm still fine.

Ok say you see a cool website and you like a part of it, for example the menu. And you also would like to build a site , on a different theme, but you want to build a menu very similar to the one you've seen on that website, cause you liked it. But building it from scratch, not copying the HTML code from that site.
Is this considered stealing? Cause practically you only steal the idea. thanks
