      <![CDATA[Yes, even though I complain about the alleged poetry the poetry chain has posted, this is crap. Almost as much crap as the stuff the poetry chain has posted, but since you can actually tell what the author was trying to say it edges out  the worse crap that the poetry chain has posted.<br />
If this is the type of poem that people are rebelling against-add me to the revolution! I just don't think that random unintelligible poetry is automatically better than this. I'm sorry for the people of North Carolina.
