Great stuff it's about time we had poems about this problem
Posted on Fri, 04 May 2018
I'm amazed at the lack of response to this important topic.
What seems to be forgotten is the fact that palm oil is not just hazardous for Orangs (the greatest gift we have from Asia) but it's danderous for us also.

I kind of like this

Says it all ..... well most of it. I think they really believed in what they were doing. My Grandfather lied about his age and signed up at 17. He was lucky he came home pretty much in one piece.

Hi Ewan what is this? Some kind of writing exercise?
Posted on Mon, 23 Oct 2017
