Burnable Poems | Examples

Uncanny

It’s uncanny. . . 
How right has become wrong.
How whites don’t belong.
How living by rules
     is only for fools.

It’s uncanny. . .
How believing in God				
    makes one rather odd.
How our nation’s flag
     is a burnable rag.

It’s uncanny. . .
How telling the truth
    is blatantly uncouth.
How taking His name in vain
    is absent of shame.

It’s uncanny. . .
How statues of the great
   are toppled with hate.
How the press
    is unfailingly Left.
How being put behind bars
   makes protestors stars.
How America’s founders
    were racist bounders.

It’s uncanny. . .
How killing the unborn
    has become a norm.
How breaking laws
   produces standing applause.
How those in military attire
   are mercilessly under fire.
How officers in blue
    are targets of spit and spew.

Yes and alas, it’s uncanny. . .
how so much we have cherished
   seems today to have perished.
