Long Cutthroats Poems

Virtue inherited not born with 
The birth of prophecy created a new poem
Knowledge a capers coin
Hightower resurected a powerful force
Bloodlines are like landmines watch your step
Lopez connected to the source 
Compassion just another distraction

For as long as I remember I’ve had this avicultural fad;
keeping birds in planted aviaries from the day I was a lad.
Caging prolific zebra finches to the pretty Whydah bird.  
Bred Strawberries and Cutthroats...

My name is Columbus and this part is true
I sailed with pirates and did what they do
I took from the snooty and gave to myself
But only the booty they save on a shelf

I kissed a...

Bronwyn the Barbaric was a buxom lass
the envy of all her peers
She spoke with unrivaled swashbuckling sass
her pirate-ess fashion was fierce

She could charm off the arms of the most hardened men
how they'd swoon at the...

I thought for this'n I be a dodger,
But the Cap'n told me to hoist the Jolly Roger.

Skull 'n Bones on Black in the air,
Ye know, matey, that I be thar.

Me peg leg be a clompin'...

Road to Recovery
by Michael R. Burch

It’s time to get up and at ’em
and out of this rut that I’m sat in.

A man may attempt to burnish pure gold, but...

Your vote's not a privilege, it's a right;
earned through the sacrifice of blood and tears.
And cast in private, it's the only light
you have to highlight your concerns and fears.
It gives you an equal voice with...

Insidious, insipid, id-inebriated imbeciles
incite impetus into inevitable immolation.

Bombast, bluster and bluff: blunt batons of barbarian bullies;
backwards behaviour blackballs baronial breed's burdens and bonds.

Weasely, willy-waving warmongers wage wanton war of words
without wit, wisdom or worldliness, whilst...

The Christmas Pirates took to the Seven Seas
They looted and plundered and never said please.
Come on! Santa said. They have to act better than that.
To their Christmas wish list he gave a big whack.

Better give...

Such an invasion will not go unavenged-

I will render my prostate prostrate

Lest my humor become unhinged

It so betrays my desire to micturate, yea even to conjugate.

 

And I will radiate radiation

When approached I will shout...

If only tears could talk,
They would surely be cutthroats.
If only fear could walk,
It would blindly go toward you.
And if only grudges are strong,
It would hold you forever.

Evil people say they're not to deceive you
They think I trust them such blind fools
Watch who you call your people
They only hang around when they need to
Who can you trust in this very dirty nation

Political Parties
(as I see it)
Written: by Miracle Man
6/8/2024

Political entities take actions,
without thinking twice.
Those actions once taken,

of said actions are votes.
They devour each other, 
like a bunch of cutthroats.
