  1. Rather dark and deep for a Sunday morning, Rall. A bit like the oubliette!

  6. Yes Harshad, quite so, and evidently touched a raw nerve amongst those who only have one single impression or thought between them!

  7. I think every one grows in her own way.

    One day we will all be free - out of this oubliette.

    God bless all.

  8. Roundabout to get here - interesting that you were 'outcast' - so many minds are locked in righteous boxes.

  9. Seems so. Rather primitive reaction though. Definitely has a touch of the Salem Witch Trials about it :)

  10. I haven't participated in the One Single Impression prompts, so I'm not sure what fuss was made, but I don't see how they can argue with the poem's line of argument. And it's especially appropriate given the word "oubliette".

  11. Thank you Francis and I share your opinion. The people responsible who profess to be of the Christian faith ? remove poems they deem to be vile,cruel and an embarrassement to the site. Quite frankly I am embarrassed to have been associated with a site which is run by those of such dubious intellect,and fascist tendencies.This poem obviously does not fit into any of these categories and from an ideological objective supports Christian theology.

  12. I missed something along the way. Every time I went to OSI this week it acted viral on my computer. As for this piece of poetry, the first word that entered my mind upon finishing my first read? Exactly. Exactly!

    Enough said. If they removed your poem, I will no longer post there.

    You have my support. 100% Sheesh, this hits a nerve.
