[bodytext] => Our circle is deaf at its edge we hold the inner core intact censoring messages we allow choosing signals to attack With both hands covering ears we let in only that which fits maintaining our small circle and eyes reduced to slits Believing what the big guys say in our republican elites holding tight to our small circle to think may bring defeat No room for speculation except in limited realm our mouths, eyes and ears closed in case of overwhelm Protecting our tiny circle is a task for night and day self-censorship at every step we stand on feet of clay -O- Republican Party in tight spot over sexual allegations Washington, Oct 05 Facing intense scrutiny in the aftermath of the scandal involving one of its members of the Congress, the Republican Party is literally scrambling to bail itself out of an extremely tight spot some four weeks to go for an election to the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Speaker came under further pressure after former chief of staff to Mark Foley asserted that Hastert's top aides were brought to attention of Foley's behaviour toward young pages in the House of Representatives and at least one law maker has canceled a campaign appearance with Hastert insisting on knowing all the details. Making matters worse for Hastert is that another senior Republican in the House, the majority whip Roy Blunt has indirectly criticised the Speaker saying that he would have handled matters differently. 'I think I could have given some good advice here, which is you have to be curious, you have to ask all the questions you can think of,' Blunt said. 'You absolutely can't decide not to look into activities because one individual's parents don't want you to.' The 52-year-old Foley resigned last Friday after confronted with several explicit e-mails he had sent to teenage male pages.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
