Long Libs 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...

Weddings most often take place in June because...

b. More flowers are in bloom then

I'm trapped in a maze, surrounded by silent walls,
Vicious obstacles, and demons with violent calls
I trip and fall, but I gain the strength, and then I rise
Like holding hands with the Lord, and looking straight...

Love Might as Well be a Million Miles Away



Demented silence 
Thuds dreams to nothing
In empty hands
And desperate lips kiss
Air

Tears beguile emotion to feeling
Something
Anything
Squawking
All of it a lies distraction
From the yank and burn

Don’t look to deep
Into...

POLITICIAN PERDITION

Do you find yourself analytical
When it comes to things political
Corpulent men in suits and ties
Cheat with promises and lies

With true intent we go to vote
To make choice of ass or goat
Labor, Nationals, Libs and...

How I See It (Libs Vs. Cons)

Both hate 'Christ's News;' Both hate World's pain
And dream 'they' hate sin in this World.
Where Libs send food, and Con's send jail
To 'poor' their way, it's how both fail.

Cons...

Everything was so chaotic,
People were idiotic.
Nothing was the same,
All the libs claimed Trump was to blame.
Just about all the stores
Had to close all their doors.
There was no toilet paper to be found,
And all of the...

What is it, you may ask, that turns me on
Not including anything sexual
Didn’t take very long for it did dawn
My love for applause is perpetual

There are two different types of Bluegrass jams
And as the Jam...

There was no rioting
No businesses were burned
Despite the burning grief
From most who saw and heard

A sanctuary town
Like Tombstone in its day
Where lawlessness abounds
Is just a shout away

And what becomes the cost
The villainous...

Each week leaflets come thick and fast
through my door,
for guttering, glazing and food,
I'm afraid all junk mail will end up without fail
in the bin, and I'm not being rude.
But I do get quite cross with...

Sunset. Synergy is moving between chairs
that don't quite match, widening tight circles   
of rovers. Muses Cafe, a small cove where
views internalize, so we heave heavy troubles

outside. Minstrel Mary Anne Epp shelters 
songs about...

Once upon a time:
a wet market bat eater
turned humanity into mask wearing
double ply paper hoarding survivalist.
Rapist and assorted ogres were being set free
making room for citizens cuffed for walking beaches

Connect the dots
Fill in the blanks
Like Mad Libs used
to top the ranks. 

We are put on this earth
to find our way 
Carrying a backpack
to stow our saves.

Personal items we adore
Or clues that leave us wanting...
