Gone Fishing -- Chris Rea

Guest poem sent in by G. Balakrishnan
(Poem #1415) Gone Fishing
 I'm going fishing
 I got me a line
 Nothing I do is gonna make a difference
 So I'm taking my time

 And you ain't never gonna be happy
 Anyhow, anyway
 So, I'm going fishing
 And I'm going today

 I'm going fishing
 Sounds crazy I know
 I know nothing about fishing
 But just watch me go

 And when my time has come
 I will look back and see
 Peace on the shoreline
 That could have been me

 You can waste a whole lifetime
 Trying to be
 What you think is expected of you
 But you'll never be free
 May as well go fishing
-- Chris Rea
Chris Rea, unfortunately is not too popular, at least in the circles I have
moved around in.  However I really feel that he is one incredible song writer.

'Gone Fishing' somehow for me conveys a sense of total freedom. It's a
different sort of feeling when you just let yourself go at something especially
if you have never done it before and know nothing about it. In addition the
song also has this subtle carefree attitude towards a lot of mundane things we
end up doing day in and day out without really ever stopping and looking at
them objectively.

Chris Rea,
somehow got lost along the way, and people didn't realize what a great song writer, musician he is. Crazy as it seems he just tells it like it is, almost like Bruce Springsteen but doesn't have the following.. For me - he has spoken to so many parts of my life, from early loves lost to maturity and responsiblity, and feeling of Saudade, and the joy in the present and the sadness of the unbelievalbe crime of not being able to tell someone you love them... what a waste. Love his huskiness, the voice, the pain, the joy, the reality, of this man with the raspy tone. Not being a superstar makes him more special for me.

The weakness of the novel is that professional paper writing service romanticizes and glamorizes Waiyaki: his tribal opponents are presented as vindictive personal enemies; their different political approach is not seriously considered.

How many times in this World Cup season, you hear a star coach praised his No. 1 m88
? Jose Pekerman floors James Rodriguez, Alejandro Sabella told Leo Messi is all of Argentina, Luiz Filipe Scolari while Neymar is considered as treasures. But not once did Van Gaal open mouth Arjen Robben and Robin van compliment Persie, despite the fact that this is the best pair M88 current World Cup.
