An aging streetwalker, she
   A hell-and-damnation preacher, he
      Met at death's door, unexpectedly

His life she saved, as hers expired
   Ministerial brimstone melted
      ~ by a harlot's...Read More

Evil deeds now seen,
cast deep underground.
Anguishing screams,
now heard all around.

Lament doth bring,
more shame to behold.
Thou shalt not kill,
beware of what's been told.

Many will judge,
and make lite of their sin.
But God knows all,
he can see where you've been.

You cannot hide,
nor can...Read More

Papa's condemnation of prejudice...

and subsequent grim statistic one
(among millions, or more)
tragedy with feted kiss
Yarraka Bayles darling son
hoop fully experiences bliss,
yet more vehement rage
against machinations (think 

with little effort cruel humans)
trumpets, tools, thrives...
wreaking psychological havoc -
case in point yours truly
wrenched, screwed,...Read More

Sitting on the sidelines,
Cheering all alone.
Never took advantage,
Of throwing the first stone.
Your love had never ceased,
Though errors were repeated.
You strengthened all Your efforts,
When mine were all depleted.
When most would walk away,
You held me with good grip.
When all my purpose lost,
My...Read More

PERCHANCE, pure ignorance led me to thine fate, 
this insensitive cast of shadowed ills, 
master of melancholy, 
captain of misery,
pukes wormed to,
fester my sole.

WROUGHT, I to thine chambered bed of tear-filled filth,
thy soulless disposition of dogged bitten maladies,
mastery of wanton...Read More

[Mocking song]

Everything na double double
Na double double
Everything na double double
Na double double.

When you hear this song
Know that you are in the doubler’s den
For you shall soon understand
That the peace you seek
Is about to bring more damnation.
And the healing you craved
Will...Read More

I come nearer You
not for fear of lethal 
wrath (fire and brimstone
is not an endearing
persuader) 

knowing damnation 
never more than a thought 
away; even this realization
(having read the Revelation)
has never been enough 
to alter my deep clay pace;

this is not...Read More

The cadavers of Solomon’s time wander the promise land,
Once thriving and green; now covered up in sand.
Their souls are blacker than a starless night;
Empty husks stumbling in search of the light.
They search for the waters that have long since dried.
Their...Read More

You wear virtue on your sleeve
But you often wear nothing at all
Showing scars of thousands of years
When corrupt leaders beat you
But they could never kill you
So you survived the centuries
You masquerade as a maryr 
To the displaced masses
You offer the...Read More

Heavenly Mother,
How could you bear to lose your son?
I weep reliving your agony.
Born from anxiety and despair, beneath
My stomach the babe which the State
Will judge and find guilty.
To shackle, beat, enslave, and murder against
My motherly will.

Beginning with you, beloved Mother,
Inherited...Read More

Killer of hope,

After about fifty years as married wife
the last three fraught with strife
obvious telltale signs of terminal illness rife
hysterectomy irrevocably didst jackknife
at the least severely incapacitated
think pitted, riddled,
and rounced her tortured life.

Ovarian cancer affliction
on par with megadeath
bald pate (color of bleached...Read More

Caverns with corners and nine maligned sides
Consequences glistening 
A purple hue undulating throughout dark blue ;

Hanging from a central cone
The witches thong moves eerily.......wrong 
Thickening a sickening pong
Stirring up the need to vomit
Expel all that consumes dense little rooms ;

Beneath...Read More

I see their ghosts ...
Dancing before me like madmen
Like moon-daubed scarecrows of the corn
Hurling curses like daggers
(Righteous retribution)

I see their eyes ...
The gleams change to glaze
With every considerate nuzzle of the trigger
Recoil punching my shoulder
(Yin to a horrid yang)

I see...Read More

Playmates
by Michael R. Burch
 
WHEN you were my playmate and I was yours,
we spent endless hours with simple toys,
and the sorrows and cares of our indentured days
were uncomprehended . . . far, far away . . .
for the temptations and...Read More

Alien Nation
by Michael R. Burch

(for J. S. S., a "Christian" poet)

On a lonely outpost on Mars
the astronaut practices “speech”
as alien to primates below
as mute stars winking high, out of reach.
 
And his words fall as bright and as chill
as ice...Read More

What if damnation is reincarnation 
as a person people stray from,
not expression of anger or frustration 
yet state our character stays in.

Born to be people whom never succeed, 
prone to pain or addictive needs, 
and rather than Hell we live...Read More

Scores of years... post high school graduation...

Whether with/without
spectacles regarding myopia, yours truly
boasts twenty twenty highsight
able, eager and willing to site
emotional, mental, physical

and spiritual deficits
lamely attempting to
explain how one bright
eyed and bushy
tailed older fellow
oft times described

existential nihilist plight
unable to validate
lifetime psychological...Read More

To all celestial siblings gathered here,
The salutations of our salvation,
Living water to all those you hold dear,
To the enemy’s minions, damnation,
Fire in the grate and meat on the table,
Libations enough to make the ark float,
And a joyous song from every...Read More

What is it like to be dead?

Does anyone know the answer?
What is it like to be dead?
Something so hard to imagine,
Fills my existence with dread.

Infinite time of unconsciousness,
Like a Coma with no release.
Is it a thoughtless black void?
What is it...Read More

Rich in Spirit.
Rich is to be rich in spirit. To be known in heart, mind, body and soul. To be known to the core can only be known through spirit. With spirit comes love and a knowing beyond yourself that...Read More

Just because I create does not mean I feel I’m God!
That’s an atrocity of men, who wish to be in charge
Not women, who for ages have seethed beneath
the accusations of men accusing Eve, tempted by a snake
so magical, it talks!...Read More

You’ll Only Find Satisfaction In Jesus!

Some like to boast about their sexuality.
Do they ever think about their spirituality?

The Bible talks about a problem called SIN.
This is common with all women and men.

It’s a corruption since the beginning of time.
This is...Read More
