I found this poem very moving.
I was at a concert on Friday evening, and there was an exhibition of artwork and poems by current prisoners.
It was the first time that this prisoner had written anything, so there was no punctuation and a wannabe literary critic like me could get very sniffy about the rhythms
but
I found it very moving.
Street with No Name
There is a street with no name where only I live
To move from this place my right arm I’d give
My neighbour’s depression and anxiety live side by side
Caught in the middle, I have nowhere to hide
Opposite lives panic just a stone’s throw away
Shaking and sweating to panic I’ve nothing to say
If I leave by the front door then fear awaits
Panic is above there like wrought iron gates
Surely there’s a back door someone find me the key
It’s nowhere to be found it’s dark I can’t see
Please let me leave my neighbours aren’t kind
But there’s nothing I can do it’s all in my mind
So who do I battle when the enemy is me
Break down the walls and set myself free
So how do I leave the street with no name
Before I open the door the fear I must tame

Not saying you would make this up yourself about brexit.
But could you just confirm where it was on friday night.
Ta,
Also saved you from 0 replys.
Im sure you didnt make this up so without a longwinded reply can you tell us where this potential edgar allan poe who can make 4 letter words rhyme perform.
I smell bullshittte a mile away.
2 September, 2019 at 2:04 pm #1125440Hes pulling all your pants down.
He wont recomend the artists name, as we do with many great artists.
He wont name the venue.
He is taking you all for mugs.
What she we do this friday night love?
Oh lets go to see some simpleton poetry from a murderer or rapist.
Do you even no what this artist is in jail for?
Lets see if we get a name for this budding wordsmith, because it was so moving i was reduced to tears.
2 September, 2019 at 2:09 pm #1125441What would anyone have to gain by lying about a poem ? What would be the point ? And what has that poem got to do with bloody Brexit ?
2 September, 2019 at 2:33 pm #1125442Mooose your track record in telling the truth is crap.
Backing the underdog its a bit better.
I hope the marvelous poetry builds bridges and you 2 start speaking again….
Anyway then mooose do you think he will name the artist.
Please say yes or no.
2 September, 2019 at 2:44 pm #1125444Well if this artist is all legit mooose i gurantee we can check his exhibtion details online.
Not your strongpoint i know, but true.
If hes a odc ordinary decent criminal he will have no issue in using his name.
Unless hes in jail for murder or sex offences he wont.
Lets see how you have called this 1 notradamus.
More references to leaving gates neighbours im alone blah blah blah.
Naive mooose even by your standards.
If you dont get a name for this artist mooose will you aplogise, after all you are on record saying skeps a nice guy.
2 September, 2019 at 4:27 pm #1125446What would anyone have to gain by lying about a poem ? What would be the point ?
What would be the point in lying that JC chatters, you and I, “voted” for a Brexit candidate who is against the censorship of child pornongraphy?
I bet you got a smart arse answer for that as well.
2 September, 2019 at 7:02 pm #1125449I read the reactions of these two philistines a few minutes ago,
and I’m still giggling
honestly

Why are you calling me dishonest ? You barely know me I barely know you I don’t think we’ve ever had a conversation
where did I say Scep is a nice guy ? I thought he was when we were friends or I’d not of been his friend obviously , but there will be no building bridges, it also doesn’t mean I go in to attack mode at the site of his name, which I feel is what you want !!
maybe I am being naïve but I was asking you a simple question. I don’t understand your reaction to the poem. Maybe I’m not ‘ deep’ enough to ‘ get it ‘ ? I don’t know. I was asking why it was about Brexit and why you think he is lying ? He may be lying, I have no idea, I didn’t read the poem like that at all but maybe that’s because I’m too stupid !
I also don’t understand why you keep attacking me ? And Kenty ?
Could you answer those questions please ?

Well the point in lying about that would be to discredit us and make us look bad , as if we supported child pornography, a very nasty thing to do !
I still don’t see what anyone would gain by lying about who wrote a poem ?
