English pleese

Digress trangress
The English to the shaky scared Brownie:
Tell me the difference -
Have you eaten? or Did you eat?

ooaahdkhfhfk hguytbvrgycsjxtvhabez...
gobble gobled, gobbly

Modal verbs: polite requests
May I rape the English language
until it bleeds and gives birth
to gibberage?

Native or non-native
Stay on the political correctness side
of the fence
no trespassing.
Sir: infinitives or gerunds?

Phrasal verbs are flowery
they smell of lavender
and - a conjunction-
smell like - preposition - mud:

STICK TO THE PRESENT SIMPLE.
puerile jouvenance
cleanse me of this parasite
let me give birth
my mother has disowned-
oops, disowns me
Can you pleese explain me?

Flirting with Death

He looked menacingly sexy, appealing. His stare was taunting, defying me to approach it. I took the challenge, he was magnetic.

We introduced ourselves, he was evasive, mysterious, distracted.

I was perturbed, disturbed and intrigued by this strange character who called himself Death.

You mean, death?, I asked.

He ignored me.

What are you, I stummered.

He shrugged.

I was impatient

Are you going to tell me, or not?

No response

His demeanour was handsome, I was in his coil

Helplessly, hopelessly

But did he know?

I prodded some more,

So…what do you do when you’re outside the bar?, I ventured

I take lives, I told you already, inside and outside.

Are you ready?, he wanted to know.

I wasn’t moved.

I began to flirt voluptuously with this character.

Wow, you really are quite an attractive guy, you must have a lot of pretendientes

He smiled, bewitchingly, distant.

I was becoming more impatient but also resigned

Well it seems you’re not the talkative type

Look, I got the wrong impression, I thought you were flirting with me

I could see he was responding to my tactic

He was astutely cunning

I knew it.

Well, good luck then, good bye

It´s me who should be wishing you this

You should be saying your goodbyes

I was angry.

Look, I said, I think you are creepy and silly, I’ve had enough tonight.

Good bye.

He swept me off my feet.

Flirting with Death, Part II

If i were to tell you te quiero

It´s possible I might scare you

If I were to tell you te amo

Je t´aime, I love you

It´s possible you feel the same

Te siento

I feel you

I want you a mi lado

At the same time, your distance

Makes you more present a mi lado

Your words,

each character,

Each letter

brings an explosive emotion

each time, every time.

Without fail.

What is this love that’s making me so uneasy?

Making me so restless for your body

Is it madness?

Some say its hypersensitivity

I wake up on mornings with a smile on my lips

Thinking you are by my side

I pass my legs, oh so cold

up your body, oh so slowly.

You shiver with this madness

Of pleasure

you roll over

What´s this folie,

That´s invading me

Your humour pervading me

You feel me when i´m sad

I feel you when your´e mad.

We long to be together

We be long together

Being apart.

de-sensitised

In Baghdad, there is no more room to bury the dead. parks, playgrounds and football fields are converted into cemeteries that are fast being filled up. Most of the people in one park-turned cemetery in Adhamiya of over 5,000 graves are said to be between 20 to 30 years, their lives now beginning to blossom, violently ended.
life has become cheap, more and more these numbers don´t move us, they are just numbers of far away people who mean nothing to us.. and so, in one form or another, in one war or another, the numbers continue to rise.. while we continue our daily comfortable lives.

Gaza is bleeding

Four days of destruction, mourning, terror. the lastest Israeli incursion has killed over 100 civilians in Gaza. They say it´s to stop the home-made rockets that according to a report from Al Jazeera hace killed all but 12 Israelis (fired from Gaza) since 2001. Since 2001!!!! On the other hand, since the Israeli withdrawal in 2005, the same report informs that more than 800 have been killed in Gaza! Another scandalous comparison that doesn´t seem to perturb anyone anymore.

The puny homemade rockets and stones against the tanks and other precision weaponry doesn´t seem to be enough to draw us out of our somnolence. Gaza bleeds and the blood mixes with the tears and the rubble that sprout again to retaliate with faith and sounds of victory against the Israelis.

Why is it that under International Law, Israel remains responsible for Gaza? Gaza has six crossing points and all but Rafah are controlled by Israel.
Why hasn´t Israel dismantled a single military checkpoint in the West Bank out of the 627 that exists? What about their "legal" settlements- about 137 - in the West Bank?
The killings over the last few days which started on wednesday have been described as massacre, genocide, holocaust. One unbiased Israeli reporter who has access to images not shown or divulged within Israel, warns that using these terms is doing a grave injustice to the truth. He adds that if 10, 000 Palestinians are killed, what term will then be used?

All of these citations come from the Al Jazeera report Inside Story- Attack on Gaza (2 march, 2008).
