Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

An Honest Fraud
by quill Tuesday, Aug 18 2015, 11:46am
international / poetry / post

i am not a poet or writer of note
please save ur platitudes for another
as i must confess that every word
and sentence that issues from my fingers
has its origin, composition
and message from a source
other/larger than me

i take no credit whatsoever
for this river of creation as it was
set in motion by a marvel beyond
my comprehension

those that imagine they are
responsible for the works they produce
and take credit for the art
are sorely deluded or dishonest at worst,
i am aware of the source but am unable to
describe it adequately

though i allow it to find expression
through me, an honest fraud, as i have
created nothing on my own -
i have searched every fibre of my being
until it dawned
that my life was not mine
but a gift of creation and so
if creation wishes to utilise the entity
it created who am i to take credit
for its work?
