GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there — truly awful. This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides of the Political spectrum. I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war is horrific.

"F--k" is a poem that will obviously cause some controversy and alarm. It’s a short poem that tackles complex meaning of this simple but often-used word that is kind of part of English (in an underground way). I hope you enjoy my foray into the regularly used meanings that this word is put through. May you have a “f--king” good listen. Two new verses added—with inspiration from one of the mega music artists leading (f--king) voices. Courtesy of bad boy Liam Gallagher and in tribute to his ever tuneful verse on the word f--k.
