First Crocus

by Christina Lim

This morning, flowers cracked open

the earths brown shell. Spring

leaves spilled everywhere

though winter's stern hand

could come down again at any moment

to break the delicate yolk

of a new bloom.

The crocus don't see this as they chatter

beneath a cheerful petal of spring sky.

They ignore the air's brisk arm

as they peer at their fresh stems, step

on the leftover fragments

of old leaves.

When the night wind twists them into pieces

they will die like this; laughing,

tossing their brilliant heads 

in the bitter air.

Made in England -Missing Andy

God how sad is that,
I talk about pride and you tag me the enemy.
I'm just your average working class, tea in a flask, subsidizing your properties
But we won't stand up and take back and stop this all this greed;
There is no choice out there,
They all bring us to our knees.
And sometimes we drink drink drink to excess;
Cause one half dont realise the other half's in a mess.
So take another picture and send me the fine,
Charge me the earth for all the things i need to buy.
It's totally insane but i guess we wont complain,
It's just the way we're made... (8)

Soldier's Creed

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team.

I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

Wisdom, Justice, and Love.

“I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice.A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: “This way of settling differences is not just.” This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.” – MLK – 4 April 1967.


I was listening to Linkin Park's new album, well... Not really listening; mostly criticising their lack of inspiring songs. When this came on. It gives me shivers every time I hear it, LP have opened my ears to true inspiration today. x
