Andrew Marvell
Andrew Marvell (/ˈmɑːrvəl/; 31 March 1621 – 16 August 1678) was an English metaphysical poet, satirist and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1659 and 1678. During the Commonwealth period he was a colleague and friend of John Milton. His poems range from the love-song "To His Coy Mistress", to evocations of an aristocratic country house and garden in "Upon Appleton House" and "The Garden", the political address "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland", and the later personal and political satires "Flecknoe" and "The Character of Holland".
Early life
Marvell was born in Winestead-in-Holderness, East Riding of Yorkshire, near the city of Kingston upon Hull, the son of a Church of England clergyman also named Andrew Marvell. The family moved to Hull when his father was appointed Lecturer at Holy Trinity Church there, and Marvell was educated at Hull Grammar School. A secondary school in the city, the Andrew Marvell Business and Enterprise College, is now named after him.

The Against
by: Nocomplyi am against people who abuse others
i am opposed to those who inflict violence
i will not live my life suffering your misplaced rage
it will come back on you one day
i am against people who judge the looks of others
do they not know all about books and covers
i will not live my life under your cruel stares and whispers
it will come back on you one day
now take a look around and see
there areso many like me
who don't want to live under your rules or follow what is taught in schools
whose lives aren't all about career how much we'll earn in a year
while our time is all our own
no way, you'll never take that away
while you're waiting
i am against people who are self righteous
i am opposed to those who think they're infallable
i will not live my life how you think I should
it will come back on you one day
were being constantly told that we live in a free society, yet every day i feel the restraints tighten around my wrists while others live oblivious to them
and so the choice lies whethe to live in apathy or to brave the new world, our world which we have chosen
