Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Society: 158 of 281
Society Never judge a book by its cover, You cannot tell a good person from another. The boy next door filled with aggression And the bully with a brain of great invention.

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Debating whether global warming is a threat or just media hype: 93 of 164
I am sick and tired of all the talk about climate change and the destruction of the planet. We cannot prevent this from happening, it is natural and innevitable. Wake up and accept it. The billions spent to prevent it is criminal considering that it can never be prevented. It is happening in accordance with the natural order... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Domestic violence: 71 of 111
Domestically Unbalanced Two black eyes and a broken nose When you came round mine today You said after you left the pub last night You were attacked in the alleyway.

Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Is it morally OK to test cosmetics on animals?: 48 of 72
