streetfighting corner girl

a poem for serial mums and J

had a hard life not as hard as mine,
loved your cursing and the way yur eyes shine
when you shout and you spit,
you fought like a rabid bull pit,
street fighting corner girl
one in a million, undiscovered pearl
living angel of the underclass
peasant princess of the untouchable caste
you lied and you thieved
how you survived on the cold streets
street fighting corner girl
one in a million undiscovered pearl
living angel of the underclass
peasant princess of the untouchable caste
you bitched and you touted
all the laws that could be flouted
like a mini tornado parting the waves
broke the chains of the enslaved.
i will always love you,
cos i know the pain youve been through
had to fight all your life
take your beatings without strife
through the darkest peaceline night
nothing could put out your light
butchers knife glints through the night
stabbing through flesh without a fight
miss the noise you brought into my life
the cursing and the turmoil
mad plans of the gangstas moll
maybe the last wretchings of a guttersnipe
to me yur my reluctant princess of the night
tarnished angel with a heart of gold
memories of your kindness i will always hold

THIS SHIT IS SPAM !!! DELETE !! IT WAS POSTED AT EVERY INDY SITE ITS STUPID ASS SHIT

To the guy who says "this is spam shit", I'd like to say "your shit is the real spam". News and information can come in any shape or form - even as a poem. It doesn't have to be prose and it doesn't have to adhere to any rules. What many people do find offensive though is foul language like the kind that you insist on using. Stating your point calmly gets you better results.
Long live Indymedia.

Wrong, Brenda: any attempt to post an article on more than one Indymedia site is bad for the network and bad for the idea of Indymedia. Imagine all the articles on this site posted on all the Indymedia sites and vice versa - call that free speech?

It's clearly against Indymedia guidelines and against the spirit of open publishing to abuse the newswire like this.

It doesn't matter what the content is; it shouldn't be posted everywhere like this.
