Do you think this poem is any good?
Does it stink, or smell how it should?
Will you blink, and smile how you would?

Will it upset you, talking of itself?
Will it add to your mind's wealth?
Will it help you find literary health?
Will it exile you, from it's self?

Will you be upset, if it doesn't flow.
...Honestly, I don't know...
Who cares?

Only I been posting a question about Evolution and Creation I which I give a list of the different forms of each!
I do not state my belief in order not to effect the out come but people seem to think I am asking in order to prove creation, which I am not if anything other than feed gathering, it is to show that the issue is understood by different people in different ways!
and to point out that empirical evidence is just that.

Why is It that an open question cause such offence?

My christmas break is comming up and with all the newly aquired free time on my hands I'll be bored out of my mind after several days. So instead of letting my brain rot in front of the tv I thought that this year I would spend my time reading. I like humour, horror and some smut, also any historical fiction. I'm open to suggestions.

My favorite book at the moment is In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.
So, it's a murder mystery type of book. And that book just left me in awe. A book that can evoke such emotion out of me is a great book.
So, I want a book that is like a murder mystery type of book, with the investigation and all that.
In Cold Blood is a non-fiction book, and I wouldn't usually read nonfiction but it was for my AP English class. The book is nonfiction, but it's written in a way that seems like fiction.
If you can give me specific books, not just authors, that are similar to that. They can be fiction or nonfiction.

Rape
Written by Semper Fi Reborn

He sat there in the dark,
Like a demon filled soul.
Thoughts of violence and lust,
To overpower his goal.
He knew he was wrong,
He didn't try to get right.
So he searched for a victim,
Out enjoying her night.

He pounced on her quick,
She had no chance to scream.
What school of behaviors,
Could create such a fiend?
Who uses his sex,
As a weapon of pain?
And gives not a thought,
That she won't be the same!

Her innocent world,
In one night is destroyed.
She's questioned by cops,
Who themselves seem annoyed.
They forget for a moment,
Her world had no hope!
They forget that an animal,
Held a knife to her throat.
Instead of searching,
To even the score.
They bombarded her with questions,
About what she had wore.
She wanted to be invisible,
Just so she could escape!
Then strongly she said,
I'M THE VICTIM OF RAPE!!

scream

There should be no more tomorrow,
When yesterday never did exist.
In the late night when I dream,
Nothing ever seems to change.

The sky explodes and cracks open,
The rain comes pouring down.
This day has finally come to an end,
All my dreams have come and gone.

The rivers in my darkest heart,
The run in blackened streams.
I'm waiting for the sun to rise,
For the light that never came.

NO escape from my constant pain,
No one hears my silent scream.
All of this is just a distant dream,
I pray for the end to sing it's song.

Look down deep, what do you see,
A broken shell on bended knees.
How deep is the river of my fate
In the silence so deep and late.

Or does anyone know the name of the artist who did a painting in the Eupoean section. It's very large and made from oil painting on a canvas.

Thanks! =)

Francis Bradley (1846-1924) wrote "Appearance and Reality" (1893).

The office psychopath simply exploits the inevitable discrepancy between appearance and reality.
