"...dem the deads..."

I like that...

Actually yeah my limited understanding is that both occur, the occasional death, more often though an ongoing repetitive torture..., sometimes shock sometimes not..., sometimes genitals, sometimes hands... or other body parts...

"...his organs ain't failing no imminent harm..."

Well if what we read and hear is true about this place..!

Then in years to come we may be reading lots more like this, from those who survive mentally to reveal.

...I hope I'm wrong about most of what I read and hear about that place and places like them, and the power structure that would need to be in place to support it...

thanks for your input,

Re: Gitmo Blues...posting in Poems 'cause I can't stomach singing it...

Now for clarification, My national identity is British, and I'm proud of being British as I come from the UK.
I also am proud of being Welsh as I come from a principality called Wales, which is part of the British Isles. But to isolate my-self from being mistakenly identified as say...Scottish or English [which are also British], I like to be referred to as Welsh like Tom Jones or Dylan Thomas. I hope I have not caused even more confusion?

Yechid dda a pob hwyl.

Hi Russ,

Blues, you certainly can play them...I know I've heard you...stroke sum a dem sweet lix der maan

Ken, I feel better knowing that.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
