Poem: Awake In Distaste

Image
Awake In Distaste Consumed with distaste, From the moves that she makes, The routes which she takes, The rules that she breaks, The dudes she embrace, To those whom she shakes, But I will be there..... .... as soon as she wakes! Moods can debase, When subdued by distaste, Value befitting too now defaced, If you will erase, just few will retrace, But I will be here..... .... as soon as you wake! -Fonzo

News: Convicted Killers of Aston shooting victims in fresh freedom bid

Image
THE killers of Aston shooting victims Charlene Ellis and Letisha Shakespeare are making a new bid for freedom after a European court ruling questioned the use of anonymous witnesses. The case of Marcus Ellis and Rodrigo Simms is to be re-examined by the European Court of Human Rights, which could deem their original trial unfair – paving the way for a fresh appeal against their 2005 murder convictions, which saw them caged for life. Defence lawyers claim they did not have a fair trial because a key witness – a convicted robber using the pseudonym Mark Brown – was allowed to give crucial evidence against them. In an unprecedented move – which according to Ellis’ barrister defied ‘1,000 years of common law in this country’ – Mr Brown was allowed to testify behind a curtain and had his voice electronically distorted. During the murder trial at Leicester Crown Court, the jury heard how Mr Brown was paid thousands of pounds in police payments to help protect him after he

US soul singer Etta James, best known for the tracks At Last and for I'd Rather Go Blind, has died aged 73. It was announced last year that the singer had been diagnosed with leukaemia and was undergoing treatment. The star began singing in a group aged 14, before she embarked upon a solo career where she signed to the legendary Chess Records label. She went on to win six Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Legendary producer Jerry Wexler once called her "the greatest of all modern blues singers". The singer died from complications of leukaemia James' manager said she died at Riverside Community Hospital in California with her husband and sons at her side. "It's a tremendous loss for her fans around the world," Lupe De Leon said. "She'll be missed. A great American singer. Her music defied category." Singers have paid trib

Poem: Outlander

Image
Outlander I'm left in a world I didn't quite expect, A place of hopelessness and neglect, Consumed by a void of 'nothing' but stress..., With replaying memories I just can't forget, I had such vast aspirations at first, They seemed to disappear into despair, Through wanton desire deep burning with fear, A quantum of solace springs forth from thin air, At times it would seem that the joy would outweigh, Disparaging stages time would convey, Much to my chagrin an unspoken display, Leaves me here exiled beneath disarray, Whatever shall I do? Wherever do I go? I ask myself what've I truly become? An Outlander! fighting for the power to exist, And there can be only one..! - Fonzo

Sports: McLeish keen for Robbie to shine at Villa

Image
McLeish: We're keen for Robbie to make a Henry-style impact at Villa By Paul Brown Alex McLeish has been thrilled to see Robbie Keane looking immensely sharp in training - as he hopes for a Thierry Henry-esque impact from the forward at Villa. McLeish says the Keane deal is close to being completed, with "i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed." LA Galaxy have given Keane permission to train with Villa as the short-term contract gets finalised. McLeish has been impressed with what he's seen of the 31-year-old striker on the fields of Bodymoor Heath. And after seeing another loanee, Henry, doing the business for Arsenal this week, McLeish has backed Keane to impress during his temporary stay. He told AVTV : "I'd like to say it was all done and dusted but we do have some i's to be dotted and some t's to be crossed. "Such is the red tape and the toing and froing between the clubs, insurances, there's a whole load of things. I
