Recently an Israeli soldier named Gilad Shalit who was captured by members of the terrorist organization Hamas was released today after spending 5 years in prison even though he had made no deliberate attempt to kill any Arabs. Just because he was a soldier put him at risk due to the hatred towards Israel from the Arab extremists. The release was at a cost though. In exchange for Shalit Israel had to release roughly 1000 Palestinian terrorists 300 of which had been proven guilty of murdering Israelis. Only 450 were released at first then Gilad was released and the rest are going to be handed over soon. Then as if being unrightly imprisoned for over 5 years wasn't enough, against the will of Gilad and the Israel he was forced to be interviewd before being released. In the interview he was even asked if he would help get other Palestinians out of prisons who were, in the words of the interviewer, "in prison against their will" but she failed to mention that they were all criminals involved in planning or carrying out attacks against Israel. Although I'm extremely happy to see him home I'm anxious to see what the newly released terrorists will do to attack Israel agian.
Here's a link to the interview

Freestyle antithought
The following is some anti-thought verse regarding the current economy
Leave a comment of any anti-thought of your own on the subject
As the currency inflaates and the government waits
for the bailout of procrastination to kick in
the tidal wave of debt gains volume as
it storms towards the capital of the world
the pillars will crumble and society
fumble with the few pieces of the country
that once was the cornerstone of the entire city
but when the radio and tv tell you not to panic
that is the time to flee and be frantic
for the time is near and your loved ones dear
might get hit while you lay in hopeless shambles unable
to go and help them to regain finacial feet
or even break even with the rising waters of
the wave which struck the unprepared, unguarded coast

COOLEST DRAWING
I just found this picture drawn of William Howard Taft who weighed around 500 pounds and had to have a bath tub custom made for him. It could fit five average men in it. Here is the pic:
Alone
This also came to me when reading Joan of Arc in the part where the Paladin and Noel and the other men from Dromremy go into the attic in search of a ghost in a closed off room. As they are standing and listening they begin to hear a moan which causes them all to think one thing and one thing only: Fear of being alone in a dark room with a ghost. PLEASE tell me what you think even if you don't like it as long as the criticism is constructive and not just 'i hate your poem' because that doesn't help me write better ones. I highly reccomend reading that book BTW.
Alone
As the thoughts narrow the emotions of
the lonliness, which rushes throught the
passes of the individual mind, and the skin
which buns in the blazing heat and fire
being spit forth and
sizzling of lamps that illuminate the toil
The one who sits with absene of presence
and the cold dank thoughts like
the dungeons of the ancient ruined lands of
desolate terror and the beast which
roams and pilages and feasts on he
that is the innocent wandering passerby
But when the sentence is served
and the shackles that kill freedom
are broken with a crack,
the one who was chaffed will walk
our to the amazement of those
that thought alone.

Wafting Water
I found inspiration for this in chapter 22 in which Joan of Arc completely overwhelmes the opposing English army and drives them away in a daze. This total domination is similar to the overwhelming water mentioned in this poem.
Wafting Water
How water flows through the rocks
and strikes blows against the tree
which gives forth fruit of mind
and soul, and has wisdom
that none can notice or even
transpose in knowledge or understanding
Or even she and it and all, that
sees the destruction and tearing
at the concepts or they which
go and attempt the wills of whom
cascade the mountains blue
Thus far has gone or fallen
no one knows the fate of
guilty thieves who ent to
palaces of despair to meditate
and meddle the deeds of reeeds
reeds of happenings and doings
but of flexiblility and being known
too fragile to sustain the true fury
of the water that falls in the rain.
Let me know what you think :)

First Collection of Anti-thought
Here is my first Collection of Anti-thought. It is titled: The Deepest Row
The deepness was shallow
of which couldn't hallow
and ponder one the thought of
desparaging courage
The whiteness gave fright
from the eve which gave flight
to teh darkness which fell
on the doorstep of whom
which cannot follow
The crows cheered and watched
he and they and all in thought
as the throng of nothing
became less than not
When it all came and went
and the chics left the nest
it was lost more than the owl
or even than the deepness which was shallow
Please leave a comment and follow the blog for at least weakly updates of Anti-thought.

Hello
Im the second contributor on this blog and I am the author of some of the free verse poetry on this blog. I began writing antithought when I was reading Joan of Arc by Mark Twain. The style and language used in the novel inspired me to write something similar of my own.
If you want to say Im a nerd or geek or wierdo then you shouldn't be reading this blog
