Best Treason Poems

A prime minister of Land Down Under -
from her role she had been put asunder.
I've been reading of texts
and jokes made of her sex,
but about her I still have to wonder . . .

I surmise mostly Aussies would know
more exactly why she was let go,
I...

You have been elected as the parapet of our commonwealth’s boarders, the tutelary of our cultures;
You will hazard your livelihood, and witness barbarisms in your ventures.
You are conveyed in fable as a Champion to the populous, you will be seen as the reviver of civility,...

THE REASON FOR TREASON
I know the reason you did what you did
The responsibility lies solely on what your hush hid
A secret you whisper in the darkness while alone
A confidence which by me is now negatively known

I used to treat you with the respect I thought...

"A treason of the heart"

"The news came violently like a bullet to the chest, Who do I call, what do I do?
When only my mother knows best.
I look in the mirror and it's you that I see, So striking, so beautiful So much better than...

I walk along this boardwalk
my mind full of regret.
I can't believe what happened
It hasn't completely set.

I stormed out on her,
full of steam my mind.
My emotions how they've stirred,
It was quarter after nine.

It is now ten thirty,
I've come back to the house relaxed.
I opened the door,...

Treason Of the Heart
------------------------

True to myself, I have not been
there's just a void if you look within
A soul that is empty, lacking its shine
walls like a prison, my heart is confined.

If you were honest, how would I know
I shut people out, a long time ago
what's...

Treason

Creeping in total darkness,
No wait for any sunshine,
Day he betrayed my true love,
passion bled to death.

All yearnings laid to rest,
bliss was only a deceit,
Wreathed my soul, whipped unsaid words
of treacherousness.

“It’s a total lie, never happened, fake news”, 
Trump utters these words every day,
And he utters them not because any are true, 
But to turn black and white truth into grey.

Then grey becomes a voice of “OK, it happened, 
But, really, it’s not a big...

When a man brings his wife some flowers without reason
You can bet your sweet bippy it's definitely treason
Flowers are quite nice
But really don't suffice
Though large sums of money would deal with the demons...

Losers

Do you waver. are you shy?
When they look at you
do their eyes imply:
"We'll have to make do"?

Do you doubt your reasons,
suspect your goals,
commit self-treason
defer to trolls?

Are you always too reflective?
Are all your victories retrospective?
Do you try to do what's right
and end up being too polite?

Take...

Il pleure dans mon coeur (“It rains in my heart”)
by Paul Verlaine
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town;
Heavy languor and dark
Drenches my heart.

Oh, the sweet-sounding rain
Cleansing pavements and roofs!
For my listless heart's pain
The pure song of the...

I Came To the Medina
Looking for my Palestina
Baby my Baby 
Where are you?
Still under the rubbles?
Still alive my Diva 
Oh my Devina!

The Highways robbers,
The snitch, the pimps of the Dollar, 
And of the Shekel,
Still abusing the little 
Ballerina,

But she defied them all,
And she is still...
