Our noses are not and never ever will be used
for looking down on ANYBODY!
they are used only for inhaling the air
that exists not just to allow EVERYBODY to live
but also for them to.........LET FUCKING LIVE!

Sorry I have come late to this thread.
One thing that perpetually intrigues me is the way readers appear to automatically think that "personal" pieces are autobiographical.
All poems should be critiqued objectively (I think I mean that) as stand alone words without the writer being castigated for committing those views to publication.
Saving libel, no-one should be thought culpable for their printed opinions. That sort of censorship is the brow of a very deep chasm.

OMG! what a storm you have created,guys.So I won't add any logs of contention to the fire,simply to say that as with ANY similar topic,it is accepting the 'EVERYONE to THEIR OWN'.
Anything else would have to work miracles to change that
and would be so wrong if it did.x
Now - back to the original question - was there any specific incident that caused you two to write this poem? IMO, it didn't sound like the 'war' or 'terrorist' kind of 'let live.' More like a nasty neighbour -for such like can make life hell. Or a fellow church member - scenarios like that. Whatever the impetus - it is great rant.

before you condemn half the world to the gallows Huw maybe you should remember that some offenders do reform their ways and that many others would be able to given the proper resources for rehabilitation which are often sadly lacking throughout the world's prison systems. There have also been many convicted criminals who have been sent to the gallows and later been found to be innocent. I'm not a religious man but I believe no person is truly evil, their actions result from many different factors too many to list here. To wipe them 'away like scum' would be succumbing to the same 'scum of the earth' tactics you so despise. Humanity needs to aspire to a greater collective morality. Time to read a few peace loving poets from the sixties methinks.
Pat and Stef, I was wondering what made you write and post this neat little poem?

We think Graham encapsulates most of what we would have said,along with Davids mentioning of a 'healthy debate' which it was.No apologies required David for 'veering away' this is bound to happen in such discussions.To answer your questions Cynthia and Colin as to the who/what/why etc of this poem-it simply was born from our general dislike of pomposity which isn't in short supply.Our thanks for your involvement folks.xx
