Best Megatons Poems

Beneath the Sword of Damocles

As we nurse our nuclear nightmares
in a not to certain day
We are conjoined in common phobia
of madness or foul play.

Little children of the Fifties
hid beneath the classroom desks
closed their eyes and dreamt of mushrooms
saying, "This is just a test."

Beneath the Sword...

She walks star naked amidst the midnight suns

A voluptuous Venus with bouncy buns 
Descending the salacious staircase with loaded guns

Causing cosmic explosions a Super Nova of Megatons


A cybernetic seductress within our virginal view

Exposing raw prowess without missing a screw
The comets do celebrate as she walks...

"The Reptilian Anthropocene"



The Reptilians
war daily 
enrobed in their
stiff distinction suits
rainbow coloured badges 
pinned to their lapels
they beat their breasts 
and oily palms
profiting from all 
the soft-boiled 
foxes on the run
cerebral cortex bound
thinking they are free-willed
and free in the fields 
they are not
they are captured by
the...

The President was woke by his generals
a message hard to understand,
their nuclear missiles had all turned to chocolate
in silos all over the land.
The warheads, once fissile uranium
or Hydrogen, ten megatons
now smelt like fresh brownies or steaming Cocoa
and the same thing applied to all guns.
The bullets...

Let me pretend. There is no evidence in my room.
Let me rewind, and erase all sacred momentums.
Let me sprawl, my hatred and explode.
Thou doesn't want to see, the deep of the vitriol I dare not let out of me.
 
I'll close my face like a...

Breakings
by Michael R. Burch

I did it out of pity.
I did it out of love.
I did it not to break the heart of a tender, wounded dove.

But gods without compassion
ordained: Frail things must break!
Now what can I do for her shattered psyche's sake?

I did...

A feather may not break any bones while on it's downward spiral,
but it will nonetheless find a resting place
Though you may think Styrofoam isn't much of anything
if a whole house made out of it you still couldn't lift it
You may easily slice through the air...

there thrums a void I can't discern
      the pounding echos thru my chest
         this hollow, empty, longing breast
   it beats and beats but will not burn

how does a pulsing 'neath...

Beast 666
by Michael R. Burch

“... what rough beast ... slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?”?W. B. Yeats

Brutality is a cross
wooden, blood-stained,
gas hissing, sibilant,
lungs gilled, deveined,
red flecks on a streaked glass pane,
jeers jubilant,
mocking.

Brutality is shocking?
tiny orifices torn
by cruel adult...

“Guided by Stones”



We are lying 
with the runes
Oh, Omnipresent 

Shall I spend my last days with you?

Voices


angry voices saying words that could doom the people,
playing with the hint of an apocalypse like name calling at school.

I will shoot down your planes if you say that about me again.
You know you can’t do anything without the annihilation of everyone.

a cacophony of phrases...

Pasty delicacy
demands protection
since succulent
taunts beasts
roaming wilderness
gripped by hunger

until revelation
pivots the victim
aggressive arguing
defensive while
harnessing feral
hungers unwieldy

with megatons
securing leverage
against savage
hidden wandering
enemies disguised
behind amity....

"Do you know where hell is?" 
Lee Marvin growls in headsets. 
New Year, sixty-eight. 
Hauling freight ten thousand high, 
bomber out of Platts, NY, 
is cruising over white. 
"Far out," (someone on intercom), 
"Iceland's green, and Greenland's ice." 
Routine run. Five megatons 
of H-bombs in...

Monopolies, duopolies and oligopolies spell danger
Collecting scraps of personal data, averting due tax
Mingling with and tingling a ribald ranger
Displacing, misplacing and suppressing the affable axe.

Monopolies in information technology cyberspace
Slay democracy, lay foundations for autocracy
Manipulating and circulating data in stealth space
Pandering to and engendering artificial aristocracy.

Monopolies...
