ok, here's what I didn't say........as a poem, imp, it sucks. I got
nothing from it except for the hate and anger the words slap you in
the face with. No, there is nothing poetic about this. I say, unless the
writer disagrees with me, it was written in three secs of hateful nasty
passion. <shrig> But that is only my opinion, and since I have a
handful of such unpoetic triatubes, (sp), I should know. I know quite
a few atheists, and they have none of these feelings towards God! or
other imaginary friends.
