Act like kings

This man in Zimbabwe set himself on fire after being racially insulted.

This 22 year old committed suicide after being refused the identity documents he needed to start a job on Monday. In his suicide note, Mhlongo explained how an official had torn up his ID application, calling him a “Kwere kwere”, a derogatory term for a foreigner.

Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced the suspensions at the man’s funeral.

“We cannot lose a life because of public servants who have forgotten that they are there to help the public and not there to act like kings,” she said.

HA....all the "tumblers" got it wrong.....this is a zimbabwen man in SOUTH AFRICA...."kwerekwere" is South african word....meaning...foreigner.

and the suicide story is also shit....this man was set alight by south african blacks...during the "still active" xenophobia. I've seen this pic and sadly, video on the news many times. i've seen "tire necklaces" and "hacking" in the streets..happens all the time....

probably why i don't get "rap"....dudes rappin about "24"s and hard knock lives????" fuck....lets see what they say when 300 people(woman and children included) take pangas and knopkieries to 100 people(yes, woman and children included)...and they save the gasoline for when they are properly beaten, bleeding and limbless...but, NOT DEAD....just so see someone with no limbs trying to run around cause they're on fire....that's hard knock life piffy deedles or whatever they're called.

and yeah....that a SA PIG, know them well.

HORROR SLEAZE TRASH

Two years in the making, Ben John Smith's second hard cover collection of poetry, and predecessor to Air a Boire, is finally here, and ready to be flogged! Featuring the extremely brilliant composition work and inlay design of German trash artist THS (www.ths.nu).

My horrible typos and silly word slinging has been painstakingly edited by my good friend and fellow writer for HST, Ian Shearer; with special thanks to Mike Daily for being such a dude. This is not the collection of artists featured in HST over the past few months, this is a book i started long before the HST was even thought about.

108 pages; 6" x 9", jacket-hardcover binding, cream interior paper (50# weight), black and white interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight), full-color exterior ink. Jacket Wrap and gold embossing on cloth spine.

While i have tried to keep the price as absolutely low as possible (I'm making about 1 dollar from each book) i know it's still scrapped in a little steep but with out pissing in my pocket - it really is worth the money spent, not only for my poetry but for the entire feel and complete package only a hard cover like this can embody.

Obviously for adults only, i am very pleased to send this sucker out into the world and hope for a wide reception of feedback in any form, from any one! Please DO NOT buy this book if you are easily offended, have any shred of respect for me at all, don't want to hear stories about my penis, fear you may be exposed in one of these poems, are a family member of mine of D'Arnes,if you drink soy latte's or enjoy poetry about flowers and rivers. Any one else, please check it out with a grain of salt and a giggle and i thank you in advance for your support and on going communication.

Lets all get pissed and say silly things!
