Long Debaters Poems

Wherein lies the great dividing moral distinction
between hate crimes of socioeconomic historic proportion
distorting multiculturally synergetic re-ligious communication,
out-glaring more mundane popularity of defiance crimes
against a more personal sacred nature?

Why is society's right to aggressively imprison unto...

What do you, what do you think He'll SAY!!!
Well now, many of you self-righteous and holier than thou saints and Christians;
Seems like there's something your...

We think too much 
of the silence of things,
Indian classrooms 
where my student's 
voice breaks free.

Bright minds cascade
up like golden ink 
lifting our nation's hope, 
lotus blooms 
on learning shores.

Beautiful voices 
float along, 
empowering folks...

LIGHT VERSE AND NONSENSE VERSE V

Less Heroic Couplets: Word to the Unwise
by Michael R. Burch

I wanted to be good as gold,
but being good, as I’ve been told,
requires something, discipline,
I simply have no interest in!

The 1AC is a shot in the dark. 
When we use interrogative strategies
we create zones of visibility and possibility.
The potentiality for deliberation
towards a new politic.
 
The study of bare life signals
radical transformations;
The constitutive ambiguity of...

LIFE LIKE A MOVIE

I want to live life like a movie,
The type of movie I would watch countless and countless of times,
I would watch it so much that I would repeat every line like I...

Eight: The sinning
show-offs who love
to brag -
They’re sinners as
they have bad
intentions.
They post updates
and photos of their
wins,
And loads of albums
of their vacation.

Their bad motive is
to show to their
friends
That they have so
much wealth and
so-called feats -
They seek...

After years of the inner demon battle. 
Being told to fit in and just be a cattle. 
Takes its toll and boredom gets stale. 
Knowing the story has an unwritten tale. 

Some of us battle...

We can go for dinner and have a discussion,
a bit of mass debating when we're done masticating.

If you come and eject fluid situations,
give it hard with the exact impact you lay shown,
stand perfectly straight and...

I’m faffing about on Facebook
Been avoiding it for years
What began as curiosity will
Doubtless end in tears
Hear no speak no see no
Evil learned in conversation
All that knowledge lost in
Two dimensional translation
Like me, share me, follow
All my...

Master Debaters
By Franklin Price
2/15/2015

Master debaters are really great
We've seen them on TV
Jerking us around a lot
Making little sense to me

Speaking little of the issues
Would rather get down in the mud
Want to speak of how they're...

BETWEEN FIRST LOVE & TRUE LOVE
 
They said FIRST LOVE never dies in real life
but TRUE LOVE will undoubtedly bury it alive.
Heart is thorn between Devil & the Deep Bluesea,
Cast out into reality from her...

Addendum 2 – The  Varsity

This round a media fiasco
For me to write in verse
Presentation of the top ten
Was much different than the first

As always the moderators
Slanted the show their way
Immediately...

The Democrats Debate
By Franklin Price
10/14/2015

Last night I stayed up kind of late
To watch the Democrats debate
About the issues of this land
And where on each of them would stand

Televised on CNN
And hosted by the hotel Wynn
Debaters...

The Moderators
(Republican debate 10/28)
By Franklin Price
10/29/2015

The moderators were not debaters
They were not supposed to be
Should have controlled and asked the questions
Not to agree or disagree

Should have taken answers given
And moved on to the next
Why they...

How shall I deal with this wandering mind?
Meandering through a meadow of ideas,
Seeking truth among noxious weeds I find

Since early childhood I have been curious
Always sifting through my brain’s cogitations
Accepting new concepts; discarding previous,

Tossing thoughts...

The Bait Debate

2/7/2016

The Bait Debate that's what I think
Was the debate of yesterday
Debaters and  moderators
For sure had come to play

From the confusing introductions
To the closing statements there
No phrases were illegal
Every stated word...

I finally saw the debate,
My spirits prepared to deflate,
For I’d heard it was rough

But I needed to get it all straight.

I agree that Joe Biden looked weak
And he fumfers when trying...

A tireless showcasing of deranged energy,

A stern warning to the green vegetation

Tonight politically

Make you climb right up a tree

Why we hold this country dear
