THE LIFE WE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING I wrote this poem shortly after the Columbine/Taber shootings Also at the time when a British Columbia judge ruled that it was ok to possess child pornography. This is the first of my poems, it was written May 5, 1999. THE HELL OF A CHILD I cannot tell you when exactly this was written, but I believe it was in October 1999. I wrote this one at 3:00 o�clock in the morning in about 45 minutes. This one was constructed after hearing about a particular instance where this happened. This one was when the criticism first started to be expressed. I was called twisted and sick, and a host of other names. Though while the content is admittedly disturbing, this is one of my favorites. GLITTER AND GOLD This was written right after I read in the newspaper about a young teen that found herself in a situation not unlike this one. This was written February 22, 2000. THE COUNTERFEIT EXISTENCE I usually make my poems rhyme. This one is the only exception so far. It has a very cynical, pitiful and demanding tone. This is one of my favorites. In addition, the little insert after the poem is indeed fictional, its like a little footnote to clarify several stuff. I don�t think I�ll have any more of those though. This poem was written April 26, 2000. EUTHERONICA The title contains the words Euthanasia and Irony fused together. This poem, along with The Counterfeit Existence was part of a school assignment in English where we had to write two poems, One in favor Euthanasia, and one against it. This one is against it. This one was written April 27, 2000. THE CELEBRATION SELECT Not much info about this one...This one does have an interesting suprise twist at the end though. Written on November 27 2000. THE LOVE This is the ONLY poem on this site that is not 100% original. Pretty much every single line or word comes from the book "fire of heaven" by Bill Myers. I just basically cut and paste everything so that it had a meter and sequence and whatever. So I give all credit to him. AMERICA TORN APART This one was written about 2 hours after hearing about the tragedy... I am not American but this affected me greatly... My prayers are with them as I write this These people struck fear in the hearts of 300 million people, and truly tore open America's heart...exposing the hurt to the world. Written 9/11/01 TEARS OF DUST I wrote this one for no particular reason. I was just kinda depressed and felt like writing it. Written September 2001 FLOATING FETUS I wrote this one around March 2000. I had heard a lady talking about how she had gotten an abortion and how she didn't really feel anything, and how the Doctors said that the Fetus couldn't feel a thing, that it was just a piece of nerves and a formless blob. Kinda short but I think it gets the point across. STAINED LOVE II I had originally made a song out of it but then it didnt sound quite like I wanted it to, so I changed it into a poem. I like this one and most people do. I wrote this after talking to a friend of mine that this happened to. Writen July 8, 2001 SHAMEFUL REGRET I don't know...It's not about me..but once again to someone I know. Trying to express the emotions they were feeling. Written September 2001 TAKE MY HAND Wrote it about a conflict between what the Devil has to offer, and What Jesus will offer you. Written September 2001
