Long Hate to say this Poems

We’ll be
together again – I
assure you! I’m sure
of it from the
bottom of my
almost-broken heart!
Just keep in mind
that we will stumble
into obstacles and
we must fight
together to win this
time around! We need
to work as a
terrific,
totally-prepared
team, letting out
fired-up,...

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

Around a center speaker, a white-haired man 
With microphone poised and voice steady

Such outstanding faith in town, 
That spares every household firstborn.

No gimmicks, no music

The
fire within you
devours my hopeful
aspirations…I shiver
with freezing
hopelessness
Give me your heart
and let me fill it
with affectionate
bliss for eternity

Don’t hang up the
phone – hang out
with me; don’t leave
me hanging in
downright distress
Why do...

Maybe she wouldn't have turned her back.

Not a word
I say with my tongue
That you will believe.
Truth coming from my heart
Lies falling on your ears
And you believe what you want to believe.
