i wrote this poem quite a while ago..(maybe more than a year, can't remember clearly) so even i dont understand some of the things i wrote, it was an english homework, an "extended metaphor", and I know it needs redrafting but I can't find those feelings anymore so I'm just going to post it raw, feel free to comment.

Dangerous Allies

I've been shot
------------------and it's dark outside
the pain is throb-throb-throbbing
streetlights too far apart
clar—ity
through the swallowing darkness

what's that?
Everything's blurred, mixed-up feelings
Pain, Night
Hallucinations, Shadows
Broken dreams, Suffocation
Scars, Loneliness
Seeing things that are not here.

This Confident Fear
the premature end is so close, so easy...

The number of Muslim MPs has doubled to eight in the closest elections in decades and saw the first three Muslim women – all Labour - elected to the 650-member House of Commons.

In addition, the first Conservatives have gained their first two Muslim MPs but the possibility of adding a third were dashed after Zahid Iqbal failed in overturning Labour’s 3,000 majority in Bradford West, northern England.

Thursday’s elections were marked by a swing from Labour to the Conservatives and resulted in one of two Muslim ministers, Shahid Malik losing his parliamentary seat for Dewsbury in northern England by just over 1,500 votes.

It's good to see most of the country coming out and voting. What an election night- it looks like a Hung Parliament since the 70's! The only shock I suppose is Lib Dem's winning so few seats. The Best news of all and the power of voting is the demolition of the BNP nationwide. The country has definitely spoken! The other worthy news is a first ever Green Party MP and Muslim MP Shaid Malik losing his seat. So what now for the country and has it been a good night for the Muslim Community? What are your thoughts on the Election Results and how did you vote?

A Message from The Revival Team: A reminder to ALL to VOTE today- if you haven't done so already! Voting is the best way to have your say and to make change regarding local and national issues that affect you!

Now if you have a BNP candidate in your constituency then it is CRIMINAL not to vote. Just vote for the party or candidate that you feel will serve your needs best.

There are many things that are unseen in this world, if I asked you what they were, you could quite easily name a few – the air, gravity, our voices, but what about something unseen that exists only if you know where to look for it or perhaps, unseen because they’re unknown.

I think that one of the main rules in life is to question everything. What I mean is, if you’re at school, university, work (for those of you who do work) or even hanging out with your friends and you don’t understand something, ask - even if it means that everyone will laugh at you. Because at the end of it, the day you ask, is the day you’ll know.

Hopefully once you’re in the habit of not accepting everything blindly, interesting answers will emerge, bringing you out of the darkness and into the light.

After the bombshell that I voted for a member of the Conservative party, lets just see if I can summarise a few things.

Let me be upfront about something though - the issues I highlight below are issues I probably ignored when casting my vote. I could not overlook that the current incumbent voted for the Iraq war.

Past Record

While David Cameron keeps bleeting on about 13 years of Labour waste, he is simply wrong and relying on people to not remember things from what 1997 was like.
