Con! Babes, be nice to my buddy! I'm glad you posted in the poetry section... nice to see ya around here, haha. I told ya you could write poetry, because this does go here I believe. So, to the peice. While I could go on and on about the "equality laws" in America, I do believe that you should concider yourself lucky that this is the only thing you have to complain about. The woman thing, I totally agree on, government has more or less stacked the odds agains a middle class white male, and handed everything to a black woman, especially if she has children. It's almost like reversed forced racism, we've been talking about this in one of my classes so I have a bit to say... But the poem, I liked the vocab you used, and the way you opened with the beginning of the day and ended with "starlight" great peice, bud, lookin forward to more in this section, an thanks for the reply to mine! Peace
