Ben Burton Poet Rhyme

Kate

© Ben Burton 7/14/2015

There was no rioting
No businesses were burned
Despite the burning grief
From most who saw and heard

A sanctuary town
Like Tombstone in its day
Where lawlessness abounds
Is just a shout away

And what becomes the cost
The villainous descent
An innocent is lost
Which none can comprehend

The father with his girl
The much belovéd Kate
She says, "Help, Dad, I'm hurt"
His CPR can't save

The horrible event
Illegal tragedy
Is seen on FNN
The White House does not speak

For anything on Fox
The libs will execrate
Their petty, sinful box
Won't let truth permeate

Without a leftist cause
There is no one to blame
Since libs cannot be wrong
Too bad about poor Kate

Ovidiu Bocsa July 15, 2015 at 4:55 AM I liked this Kate. Even if a little too late: Imagine, I was her impossible mate Before I d be a thick neck-knape And touch the undeserved grape. So, I kneel in front of your poem gate: Please forgive my miserable fate. I ask forgiveness for all who still wait To do all that ought to do for our Kate.
