Here is some of what else i do:
(http://www.flatrock.org.nz/topics/odds_and_oddities/assets/wanting_a_meal.jpg)
This is me reading a poem inspired by the above image taken by Kevin Carter, a photographer who killed himself shortly after this was taken. He won the Pulitzer Prize for it, and questions about his integrity in taking the shot before shooing the bird away arose . . .

Wow...

Why no one would answer this before is because they're speechless. That is a very striking image. I understand why this man took his life after taking this horrible picture.
Rest his, and the child's soul :[

You offer help where you can. If we simply give up in life, why should any of us try? He may have not been able to help this child, but you can use your time to help prevent this from happening again.

It is a long and difficult road, often without any reward. When i say reward, i mean the reward of saving a life, or planting the seed of hope. In this area, often this reward is never reached. However with dillegence and continued effort, perhaps the reward shall be seen more than not.
/me bows to Xillix, in respect for efforts put forth.

Well I ope you all enjoy it as thought provoking at least. Like the thread title?
-
Were you supposed to lure people, Xillix? ;P
-
thread got five times the views within two days of changing the title, the old title was "poetry?" This thread title seems to be working better.
-
stunning... i have no other words...
-
Anyone been to the blog? More poems and such there :)

Hey, what would you do, shoo the bird, or win the prize? :D :thumbup:

..before he killed himself? I have no clue...
-
Better to win in death. then you don't have to make a speach and say something you regret or get shot by extremists or something like that :D
-
he shooed the bird after he shot the pic and won the award before he shot himself.

/me has a maelstrom of thoughts running through his head
I saw the title ages ago but didn't bother looking certainly didn't expect this
-
Why shoot yourself though.
I understand it's sad, but being alive could have allowed him to help the cause more.
Now that he's dead he can't do anything.
I would have tried and help out, even if it seems like an unending conflict.
Suicide, in my opinon, Is never warranted.

any of you make it to the second poem?
-
Yeah. Nice work all around, including the site. First poem was the most haunting, giving a depth to the picture that did not at first resonate to me.

Wow, very trippy. I liked it.
The first one was a bit direct for me - I prefer abstract metaphors to having the meaning handed to me on a platter, but that's just me. And the imagery was very satisfying. I liked the comment "Why did the girl not help him?"
The second one just blew me away. Very angry, in a passive, mourning kind of way...
