American boxing fans

[Box Up!]

What do you make of this poignant poem doing the rounds across the world at the moment?

Sort your fcuking country out. ASAP.

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.

Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.

Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun

[alexguiness]

That's ****ing beautiful poetry.

Even better than Dylan Thomas or Wordsworth.

I love poems about Murica being a big smelly ****.

[Nod]

I'm no expert or anything but it sounds like the rest of you are a bunch of poons and America is a kick ass gun.

Brian Bliston the 'Poet Laureate of Twitter'. His Refugee poem was alright. . .ish. The guy gets called a genius. Obviously some people need to log off and encounter the world beyond social media.

Refugee

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so ****** to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

I make of it an idiotic poem written by a lying piece of **** who said he was leaving boxing scene for good. I told your lying ass then that you weren't leaving because you love bragging up England and trashing America too much to ever leave. Many Americans are good riflemen and proud of it. Americans were good enough with rifles to kick your country out of America for good. Many Americans, my self included, are proud to own guns and love the guns we own. So the fuc what! Is the sissy Englishman afraid of guns because his mommy, the queen says guns are bad? Yes guns can murder people in the wrong hands. Only a damn fool like you blames the gun instead of the murderer. You can kill people with a knife, an ax, a spear, a bow and arrow, a car or a bomb just as dead as with a gun.

On ego & celebrity the best ever written:

It is not seemly to be famous

Celebrity does not exalt;
There is no need to hoard your writings
And to preserve them in a vault.

To give your all - this is creation,
And not - to deafen and eclipse.
How shameful, when you have no meaning,
To be on everybody's lips!

Try not to live as a pretender,
But so to manage your affairs
That you are loved by wide expanses,
And hear the call of future years.

Leave blanks in life, not in your papers,
And do not ever hesitate
To pencil out whole chunks, whole chapters
Of your existence, of your fate.

Into obscurity retiring
Try your development to hide,
As autumn mist on early mornings
Conceals the dreaming countryside.

Another, step by step, will follow
The living imprint of your feet;
But you yourself must not distinguish
Your victory from your defeat.

And never for a single moment
Betray your credo or pretend,
But be alive-this only matters-

Alive and burning to the end.
— Boris Pasternak, My Sister Life


Быть знаменитым некрасиво.


Не это подымает ввысь.
Не надо заводить архива,
Над рукописями трястись.

Цель творчества самоотдача,
А не шумиха, не успех.
Позорно ничего не знача,

Быть притчей на устах у всех.
— Борис Пастернак, Сестра моя — жизнь

You are the absolute tampon of society. Perfectly happy to hit behind the ****** argument that it's not guns that kills people, it's the people who use them. No wonder the ENTIRE WORLD thinks you're thick as fcuk, a right proper ****.

For whatever reason, you're SO ****** you cant seem to understand that allowing people to walk into a shop and buy a gun is a ridiculous thing to do.

My God you're just about the most pathetic, ******, idiotic breed of **** this planet could possible spawn.

But hey, guns are great eh! I'll remind you of your **** lips post when the next mass shooting happens in America.,

You utter wanker.

The bigger the gun, the smaller the d1ck.

I understand that gun ownership is part of the US Constitution but I will never understand the practical need for an AR15 or AK47 assault rifle.

Have a small gun and learn how to use it properly instead of jizzing all over your girlfriends wallpaper and risking hitting her kids in the eye.

Watch American **** - its good but all massive d1cks and t1ts, overkill.

I like German ****, plenty of variety - pi55ing, fisting and massive (accurate) facial cum loads.

My good old chap please restrict your political views to the house of lords...you no nothing about the threats we must protect ourselves from in America - I submit to you a example that would have you carring a glock nine or in your case being from the UK a stick.
