Long Banes Poems

Abe Lincoln As A democrat
© Ben Burton 8-25-2014

The evil of men being sold
Long past, since Mr. Lincoln's fight
Still, dark suspicion blooms and grows
And loots the cause of civil rights

The North designed a whipping horse
Down in...

3. TEATIME INTROSPECTION
Amongst the many are the few
who maim and kill and think it’s true
that purple war’s a parlour game
when really they’re submerged in shame
for crimes for which they are...

In regard to human's such abject abyss and absurdity, we can't help questioning: can human still be indulgent in the virulent vainglory having shaped their pretentious and dangerous preconception of a human-centered and human-dominated cosmos?...

'Helpless' is an adjective I never thought
my hand would write to describe the despair
that's wound its way deep inside my heart.
Honestly, I'm only the catalyst of my own life,
the taproot that strengthens my mindset,
my cornerstone,...

THE STRANGER MAN (3)

But let life live its life and I mine.
I ease myself of all worries
And drift where I may such as liberal
As a wind and unheeding to the obstruction
Where of the fate of...

i look to stars and wishes flew through space never to be heard again

THIS HOME OF HORRIBLE HATE

Voices of doom fanned by ugly hate
Our doom Echo in shattered boom
Voices of penury and avoidable hate
Clutched vehemently in tall viral gloom
Amidst squabbles of unequal and mates
Like the cash in the...

‘Taties and carrots and onions
All have their own natural skin
So why do most of the suppliers 
Use plastic bags to pack them in, 
Either the fragile brittle type 
That bursts  all over the floor
Or...

Bereavement is a pain,
 Worse than being lashed or chained
 It crushes and destroys you mind
 No one for it is trained,

By it every path is drained
 And every learner’s book is stained
 Nothing is...

Aspire to disseminate inspiration
Respire to ameliorate affection
Mire fires and spires of misinformation

Contribute to spreading care
Distribute love to play fair
Develop attributes with plenty of love flair

Seek to provide answers
Hobnob with love dancers
Fight and blight social cancers

A sudden burden of flipping turns him into a fraction /
Action of correction in your cranium needs traction /
Bad habits all erratic need retracted to leave the bad flabbergasted /
Dad’s had it with blabber half...

" WE SHALL VOTE 
WITH  OUR  
CONSCIENCES"

Let us cast our minds 
back to '1983' massacre
When inking our thumbs 
were as inking our 
death-warrants
We exercised our 
franchise in peace
But the result was 
given in...

With virgin miles yet pining for tireless tread, 
You know a lot of hard travelling lies ahead; 
For the goal unclaimed stands beyond reach, 
Where triumph basks on the gleaming beach.

But the blistered feet do...

If heaven is a rest for the imbeciles,
the banes of hell my portion must be.
If cloud nine is a bordello, 
and the streets of gold are carved along the red-light-district, 
then god must be a...

I laid down upon the shore 
of my bed, 
and dreamed of a world i 
set ablazed.
I heard the great shouting 
and roaring of my name, 
as i kept playing the 
beautiful round leather 
game.

Your grace of healing tore the cores of the fault finders.
Your works that sprang from divine power, for them, were blinders.
They pulled in Beelzebub to defile your divine might.
Like battlers, the nerds of Banes never...

The pulchritudinous aquatic lair,

Of resplendent melancholy depth,

A place damaged beyond repair,

Teeming of glazed ghosts of death.

 

Hither and yon an offed world 
lingers,

The alluring charm of the 
cadaverous expanse,

Where bony-ice settles deep in 
frigid fingers,

A bloodless shore...

Midst soothing cheers spring has unique features,
It's a grand mixture of vast boons and banes;
The spring sun is a balm for some creatures,
While its burns cause, for others, strains and pains...

Rising, if the sun prides making high noons,
I’ve often turned life’s winters unto Junes.

What if my pen fetches no stars at first?
It knows to fight back, bargain fair fortunes.

Getting best from pen oft gets people’s...

Were you to be less the chosen ideal, 
in solid form, my love would find a way; 
and yet, how to express a sentience pure 
enough if corporeal you graced the day. 

What befits such...

Love's misfortune follows blindly behind 
Rancor's Raiders symptom universe foreign sky 

Letter heads dispel beliefs scorn label   
Fearing Man-made banes passing over beauty

Trochaic Pentameter

My love's spirit's gentle like a breeze that
blows cool o'er this my brow, most hot, feverish.
I am made calm by her presence like at
times when discontent doth make one peevish.
She is children's mother never...

My Arabian stallion
As white as the Arctic floors
As fierce as the fire dragon
My pride and joy ever more

Gallop through the Arabian Plains
Enduring the storm of sands
Enduring the odds and banes
As fast as lightning he ran
