Do we have a poetry thread anywhere?
I dont Recall seeing one.
			 
			
			
				OK...
I'll start...
There once was a lad called Keeper
Who was known as a very poor sleeper
When asked why that was
He replied, "Its because
she keeps wanting it harder and deeper".
			
			
			
				I met a man named Leo
a man i have respect and is my hero
if asked an explanation
he would ramble a dictation
and pretend he was a superhero.
			
			
			
				There once was a lass named Fashionista
Who's mod went mad and dissed her
This charming young lass
Kicked him out on his ass
And thats the last thing we saw of that mister.

				The once was a yank named Renee
Who oft let her mouth run away
Like a typical yank
She was the size of a tank
And rumours abound that she's gay...
			
			
			
				There once was a lass named RW
Who did all she could not to trouble you
But if you got on the wrong side
She'd bullwhip your hide
And afterwards try to cuddle you...
			
			
			
				There once lived a lass named Annie
Who was concerned at the size of her fanny
She tried to lose weight
But it didn't go great
Now she looks like her nanny...
			
			
			
				There once lived a lass named Azhya
Who's legs would certainly faze ya
They went all they way to her ass
which was top of the class
But lacked the stroke of a razor...
			
			
			
				Young Romero was a fine socialist
Using his words, rather than fist
To argue the case
Til blue in the face
But it was fun to watch him get pissed...

				OK, something more serious...
The Electronic Truth...
I am the electric truth; pure data unsullied by emotion
I flow through your wires like blood through your veins
Transporting the necessities of your mind's survival
Impelled by current and amp; the life force of all future knowledge
and the custodian of the past, in words, images and sound
Fact and fantasy all fused into a single thoroughfare of thought
My pixels hold your lascivious lust and secret sins of the flesh
Your vile crimes and carnage dispersed in wicked triumph
I share your shame for the world to see and lament in its demise
I am your reality bytes, inescapable and addictive, untenable memories
You can neither ignore or turn away from facts, cold and hard
Stored within my neurones, servers, nodes and hardhearted drives
I dispense your lies, preying with pretty words on the disheartened
I show them love, formed by electrons and shown as text on screens
I can taunt, soothe, succour, humiliate, betray, and deceive
With the ease of water coursing from high impenetrable mountains
I am electric. I do not exist, yet you cannot rid me from your hollow lives
I connect and tear apart, join and destroy, link and disperse 
everything you ever believed, within you and without you
I own the infinite human mind, its frailties, its hopes and dreams
All passed willingly to me by the worshippers at my digital altar
Fear me, despise me, curse with vile invectives and despair
For you can never disempower me. The switch now lays beyond your reach.
Copyright, me.
			
			
			
				There once was an old geezer named Specter
Who thought himself RW's protector
He was convinced of his sass 
But he was long out of gas
When his limpness failed to become erector...

You are a good poet SPECTRE.

But, I want to clairify that I did not ban Obvious Li..
He left on his own after being removed as a mod.

Don't feel the need to explain yourself. Your actions were justified.
			 
			
			
				A few weeks ago, I suffered what is somewhat modestly called Serotonin Syndrome. It is the mind and body's response to the withdrawal of serotonin influencing anti depressant. It is similar in principle to going "cold turkey" from narcotics. It lasted about 3 to 4 weeks, rather than the hoped-for 1 to 2 that is more common. But it can go up to 6 weeks. During that time, your body and mind go into a form of shock, and you become highly psychotic, depressed and dysfunctional. I wrote this during that period. It reflects that state of mind and being. It has passed now, and I am much improved...in case you were wondering or worried.
"Pharmacology"
I stand, dead from the ground up, 
In melancholy darkness
Absolute and merciless, an assassin of the mind
Only a pallid light shines from my weary heart
Pushing against the Stygian aspect
Filled with strange and mutant shapes
Is that a tree
or an impaled cadaver
A small boulder
or a dead, unwanted child
I repose on a bed of enmity
Surrounded still by mournful murk
Fear courses through my soul
As the fell creatures, born from my mind,
Encircle my ebbing spirit
Their sinister shambling of iniquity permeates
Low moans seeking prey 
My time is short
Within life's embrace
A fading radiance of love
I float. Motionless. Face down.
Face down in the dead black water
No more light, no more life
Banshee wails gouge the gloaming
Like the howl of dying dogs
Or the triumph of twisted hellions
I feel my death
More than the loss of my life
It ends thus, face down
Face down in dead black depths

				A torturous time. :(
			
			
			
				And how...
			
			
			
				I'm glad to hear you are getting over your pharmacological crisis but in regard to your withdrawal making you "highly psychotic"...... sad to say, no one noticed. I mean I honestly don't think the casual observer of your antics saw or sees a change in your demeanor or persona from then to now. And believe me, I'm not trying to be mean here. It just is what it is, you're a crazy obnoxious old buzzard but I guess we're stuck with you. 
So let me be among the first here to welcome you back to the land of the living and thanks for having the courage to share.
			
			
			
				I noticed.

Loved ones, close friends and family sure as shit noticed. I was in a dark world, full of anger and vehemence. In fact, my only contact with the outside world for around a week was this forum. 
I would not wish that experience on anyone.

I'm sure they did and I feel for them. But with the limited exposure we have to you here it wasn't really noticed, at least not by me and I tend to get hit with the worst of you. But then again I have to assume your problem was the reason that RW asked you to leave the forum for a time. I suppose we all have her to thank for sparing us the worst of the worst.  ac_smile
