Right, click open new tab. 

you may want to turn up your volume

maybe a commercial and the song starts quite

With < 3

This is a place for all

Large AND small

here we place no walls

here they are no more then old burns

Here we are the words

They can no longer touch us 

around here we cause the fuss.

bringing your pen is a must.

We're all freedom or bust.

join me friends, let's from this day

make our own ends,

our own ways

Here you're beautiful and fruitful

Out there they can keep their angry mouthful.

Their slurs and spurs we have shed

no longer fed, they're ghosts, 

false pride and empty boasts.

What we write is beyond there sight,

like a paper bag on their head at night

we stripped the words from your right hand

your other there's no fight left in.

Join me family, it's a new dawn

NO LONGER will we be merely a pawn

We rite this song

So do we stand or do we sit

write with complex words or a nervous fit?

Do we sail on our own breeze

are we waiting for raking, like autumn leaves?

Who says they can tell us we're down trodden debris

self worth is determined by SELF, that's you and me.

We are worthy!

don't care if were late or early

if we come across burly, surly or girly.

Here

Were all

NOTE WORTHY...

You have the guts to tell your kin, what I wish I had to tell mine. To be honest this moved me in a way that I assumed only meant my blood. But you, I so not have words. When the Gods struck down 12 in 7 years, a work like this brings it all back.



Thank you for reminding me.

[Jessica Gillitzer]

We decide our own worth. It's all in our hands. Don't let others tell us who we are. So true. I'm glad you wrote this.

[Jessica Gillitzer]

Again, pretty fantastic. This was a great little read, you have such an ability to write from the heart, I feel like I'm getting to know you just from reading your poetry.
Just a few wee typos (I think--)
"What we write is beyond there sight," - is this their sight? There sight I would open up a new can of worms for me and could mean so much more

"We rite this song" write this song? or in the context of the poetry I felt it fitted perfectly, as if writing and poetry and the writing of the poem was a "rite of passage.

Maybe I'm just being anal and reading into things to much ;)

"were all" just missing your '

Also I absolutely loved the line
"are we waiting for raking, like autumn leaves?"

You are dope

=D

Jeez Ben you really lay it on thick, j/k yeah I need to edit this, i wrote it before I went to sleep and I was in a hurry with ideas coming faster then my fingers could type.
Jess ;-)

[Ben Walker]

haha, I don't mean to :) I really like your writing, I don't mean to come across as too forward, as I feel I have a lot to learn from you rather than the contrary. You're brilliant :) also I enjoyed your moby :)
