Well, Ron, after giving the matter a great deal of thought, I think these<br>
two: "Such Savage Thirst"<br>
<a href="http://masalai.free.fr/Such-Savage-Thirst.html" target="_blank">http://masalai.free.fr/Such-Savage-Thirst.html</a><br>
and "There wasn't any jobs:"<br>
<a href="http://masalai.free.fr/no-jobs.html" target="_blank">http://masalai.free.fr/no-jobs.html</a><br>
are the ones most useful in the current economic climate - and besides, if<br>
people do take up the challenge of turning the<br>
<a href="http://masalai.free.fr/no-jobs.html" target="_blank">http://masalai.free.fr/no-jobs.html</a>
one into a song or chant:<br>
<br>
"Nota Bene: If any gifted singer, songwriter, band, etc, wants to make<br>
political hay out of this poem, please feel free to do so - as long as you<br>
remember who wrote it, and provide due acknowledgement and attribution."<br>
<br>
it'll make my day!<br>
<br>
Then I'll cackle deep inside my Evil Overlord's Overcoat (TM) ...<br>
<br>
Wesley Parish<br>
"<br>
Such Savage Thirst<br>
<br>
 - empty days filled with time,<br>
 and its many empty deaths,<br>
 so painfully slow;<br>
 bloodred sunsets and all that jazz,<br>
 hot norwesters and freezing rain ...<br>
<br>
 while political speeches drag hindquarters<br>
 like a dog to slow death,<br>
 its backbone shattered;<br>
 like the unemployed hours<br>
 that suck blood from the heart of hope<br>
<br>
 - the day differs from its sire<br>
 only in its lame excuses -<br>
<br>
 I am Unemployment:<br>
 no teen devil of mediaeval night,<br>
 no ancient Commie demon<br>
 ever stalked your souls<br>
 with such savage thirst,<br>
 such diabolical delight<br>

Gaul is quartered into three halves.

impossible are equal to each other. Â Guerrilla<br>
warfare means up to their monkey tricks.<br>

Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui?<br>
You ask, what is the most important thing?<br>
Maku e ki, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.<br>
I reply, it is people, it is people, it is people.</p>
