Thought i would share it with you,it's amazing.

Cut-Sylvia Plath

What a thrill----
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Exccept for a sort of hinge

of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush

Little pilgrim,
The Indian's axed your scalp.
Your turkey wattle
carpet rolls

Straight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle
of pink fizz. A celebration this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.

Whose side are they on?
O my
Homumculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to kill

The thin
Papery feeling.
Soboteur,
Kamikaze man----

The stain on your
Gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when
The balled
pulp of your heart
confronts its small
Mill of silence

How you jump----
Treppanned veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thump stump.

No nah yet, i havent read it.. Poems and editorial articles regarding government comes out especially pertaining to health care.People wonder who is behind the town hall riots when anyone discusses health care reform, or Obamacare – the answer is Conservatives for Patients' Rights. Conservatives for Patients Rights, or the CPR, is headed by one Rick Scott – who isn't a doctor – but used to be the CEO of a hospital, and under his watch, his medical administration defrauded Medicare of $1.7 billion through a practice called upcoding, wherein a Medicare patient gets treated, but Medicare is billed for additional tests that never took place. (That's fraud.) Realistically, Conservatives for Patients Rights and Mr. Scott will never need short term loans, and the only reason why they oppose the bill is that they want the money from the program for themselves.
