About me
My name is Anthony Parker, however you may see my name around as @anthillel and the alias “The scribe of the Red Rose.” I am a student of Archaeology in my native Manchester, and in whatever spare time I have, I am also a labour activist.
I always say what i think, i’m not shy to air my views, as I believe that everyone should speak out against injustice and about what they believe in! I will give my opinion on everything, criticising even the party if I feel I don’t agree with a course of action and backing them up when I feel they are on course! On that theme, I wrote and published an e-book on amazon.co.uk called FINDING MY VOICE- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Finding-My-Voice-ebook/dp/B0056GXBDQ/ref=pd_rhf_p_img_1 .
Thats it really, hope you enjoy the posts, and if you want to know more about me, follow @anthillel on twitter, or visit the facebook page for the blog, with more features- http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Scribe-of-the-Red-Rose/149143605139315 .
I speak out
I speak out,
No one will slence this tongue,
My thoughts a raging flood,
Even a concrete dam can’t contain.
My voice is a gift,
A tool, like then pen,
A tool to be used, not squandered.
A sword drawn, sharp is its edge.
I speak out,
My tongue trembles, apprehensive.
Though not a mighty roar to disturb the air,
Even a whisper breaks the infinite silence!

Dear Anthony, I came across your poem “Yearning for Paradise” because I am the translator of a Russian novel by the same name. I hope you will take a look at it and see how many of its ideas correspond to your own. Good luck to you.
