Amerikansk diktanalys

Det amerikanska rättsväsendet verkar vara en intressant värld där egna regler gäller. Norska Dagbladet skriver om en 15-årig amerikansk kille, som blivit dömd till ungdomsfängelse efter att ha skrivit en dikt om våld och gett den till ett par klasskamrater, som tolkade den som ett konkret hot. Dikten Faces hittar man i högra kanten av notisen. I rättsdokumenten försvarar sig killen:

"Julius said he did not intend either his "Faces" or "Who Am I" poems to be a threat. He knew Erin and Natalie collected poems and that they wanted his poems for their files. He acknowledged the language in his poems would be frightening and threatening if Erin and Natalie did not know him and realize he was not serious, but he thought they would see the poems as a joke. He also believed both wrote dark poetry so they would not be scared by his poems. He wrote the words "Dark poetry" at the top of his poem because he wanted the reader to know this was "dark poetry." He testified that he believed "dark poetry" did not suggest that the writer was going to do what he wrote. "

På något sätt har jag på känn att domstolarna skulle få ganska mycket arbete om dom skulle börja analysera alla tonårsdikter. Eller hur skulle det vara med 80-tals heavy metal, som nån människa eventuellt kunde tolka bokstavligen? Det är faktiskt ganska roligt att läsa heavy metall texter -kolla t.ex. http://www.darklyrics.com/. Ifall dom inte är tillräckligt bra kan man använda Metal Maker, som automatiskt genererar metallmusiktexter.
