We are the human race
We are a fucking disgrace
We invented heaven
We created hell

We cant get on with each other
Even though we pretend too

We follow kings and queens to battle
Even if there is no cause
We put them on a pedestal
and follow their pathetic rules

Death to your king
Death to your queen
Death to any other regime.

Wow. First swear word in Grimney. Might disturb the censor. Cool poem though, I like your bleak nihilistic attitude. Are you an anarchist? Or just a chaos reveler? Welcome to Grimney. You 're probably not going to write a Christmas poem? I'd doubt that.

I agree Gothicka, that's one thing I love about Grimney, the lack of swearing. I don't mind my granddaughter visiting the site for that reason. It's a shame too because Keith Moon Sundaywrites great poems!

Im not an anarchist no. I think its a bit embarrassing when people class themselves as one. I get on with people and everything but i just like to look at ourselves as a race and as an outsider looking in and i suppose thats where it came from.

p.s, cant see anything in the forum rules about swearing. I dont like swearing for swearing sake but i feel if a swear word adds to a line then it is fine.

A debate! Well, I think swearing is fine in poetry, just look at Philip Larkin for another good example. I don't tend to do it, as I write nonsense, but if done right I think it's fine. Just thought I'd say my piece. Right going off to catch some mice...

I'm afraid I agree with the boys Meadow. I think the word was appropriate in this poem and it is used to make impact . If people feel strongly about it, perhaps people could put an alert in this title of the poem if it contains swear words.

That's no surprise Philomena, you ALWAYS agree with the boys!
Now, I like Keith Moon Sunday's poems and......I like Philip Larkin's poems, but....which is best? There's only one way to find ou...FIGHT!
