Premium Member Arson murder of 9 continues to burn

Unable to fear threats from 
any man who actually sent 
my ex husband to torch 
a tailor shop killing a mass 
number of elderly people 
sleeping in bed Christmas Day 
on oxygen machines as mushroom 
clouds flooded the building do 
you see special agent Alan king 
asked me before hiring me to 
wear wires on my unborn children 
while city officials helped to cover 
up mass murder I witnessed the 
plotting of Ciro gargano and I 
played in the silk garments in 
the shop where he stored the 
contents of the tailor shop sadly 
corruption threatened my life to 
silence me an yet I will never 
ever fear murderers with badges 
assisting Ciro gargano ongoing 
mass murder spree a serial killer 
extorting medical care for diapers 
and bedding for retired hitmen

Stop intimidation arson murder 
of 9 elderly people the coldest 
day 1984 I will never forget

THE CLOWN WHO THINKS HE'S A SEER AND KING

When the roosters crow at dawn
Trump the clown, the president
Who thinks he's a ser and king, a prophet 
Because he always has his fly half open
Surrounded by his entire celestial court of zealots
Well protected by serial killers
What will he say, perched atop his deranged head:
-“I announce to the new day
That today, like yesterday and tomorrow
I will do whatever the hell I want
Because that's how it has to be
For the good of all nations.”
Laughing and dancing like a disabled person
He will repeat:
-“What a mental masturbation of mine is worth
Given on time here in Mar-a-Lago
Soon to the twelve best beaches of Cuba
Which will soon be mine:
Varadero Beach, Paradise Beach
Pilar Beach, Cayo Blanco, East Beaches
Sirena Beach, Fishing Beach
Santa María Beach, Ancón Beach
Coral Beach, Cayo Guillermo
And Guardalavaca Beach.
Don't fall asleep, my Cuba
Don't fall asleep, my beloved
For your Trumpist dawn is coming
Full of life and death.
To your twelve precious beaches
My criminal drones will descend singing:
“This is how it must be
Because this is what this clown 
Who thinks he's a seer and king wants
Who, without any bet
Full of rage will pounce on Díaz-Canel
And, in the shadow of his own balls
Will leave him half dead
Making Cuba a great Guantánamo, once
Causing his coastal Guantanamero people
From the municipality of Bauta
In the province of Artemisa
West of Havana
To laugh and be scared on his Baracoa beach
Contemplating that enormous cock of his
Hypocritical cock made drone
Of truly obscene balls
Of a terrible and fierce transsexual
Who employs so much ardor, so much effort
In annihilating, with the Jews
The peoples of the Middle East.”

Premium Member Dr Death

A doctor under hippocratic oath
Took lives of older women one per month
By lethal dose of morphin injection
And turned into a prolific serial killer.

He was attached to his mother having cancer
As the doctor injected her morphin to relieve pain
He saw her slowly die and the loss
Made him homicidal to take mother’s life of others.

The modus operandi of his crime 
Matched with the way his mother died
He let his unwary victims hear the heavenly call
For he morphed into “angel of death”.

Sentenced to life imprisonment
The killer didn’t intend to survive long
He killed himself by hanging in the prison cell
Being branded as “cold coward”.

Aspirations


                
                Aspirations are a self revealing Impress, 
                      peeping in gem facet placeholder- 
                                     of ruby glimpses 
                                                 of 
                                   Fairy tale covers, 
               covertly-airbrushed by the atmosphere, 
                 over genuine zirconium expectations.

          In inner light magistrate cache cow- 
                  in the crystal stereo 
            of the now and here, 
         flashes impetus clear  like a streaker revealing 
 to illustrate, the daring, self inspiration of its baud rate 
                                    of liberation-ad-here. 
         Geniing the busy body of it's own needful premise 
   of seedful impetuous implication, promised on premises.
       A banner at happy hour suggesting intoxicating ingestion. 
       Drunk with in-advertising 
     getting premonition of-promotion, imbibing 
the "jasmine in your mind."
Relation-ships moon causes the roiling sea 
to gem carats of her sparkling sirens. 
Alluring rocks to dash you to pieces 
     in drawn compliance..
        Unsown light can give you the creatures of her disease,
calling bluff to serve her touring manifestations.
With marked cards to lay down in flush that had lay dormant but surfaced up from the sleeve 
and from the seep of pasts saved ante ups. 
       They are a whiskey shot at a saloon. 
Liquid courage that causes you to bark at the moon.
Tide a naked ride tied to the back of a train, 
               of bad ideas, after tion, ction and igeon 
      blows your cover, like sudden electrical storm 
 over the rainbow over landover and hot air,-
balloons like a mushroom 
clouded idead ideal that transports you into the stratosphere of her thundering strutopeels. 
Her bubble puts you in her hair brained funny papers, periodically. 
To keep you sober, from occupying 
a van down by the river. (Which sounds good to me) incidentally, but that's neither here nor there, 
immaterial, witness, 
these thought bubbles-seductively 
siring, serial 'vamped vapor round firing 
like a ghost mistress who puts you in a stupor 
on the grounds of desiring, her consecrated things.

Tattoo

Jim sealed his love for his first girlfriend , Jo
as many star struck lovers do,
by showing the world he had found his soul mate
and getting himself a tattoo.
Their relationship failed, so for other fish he sailed,
since he didn't like being alone,
and to save on the cost of a tattoo removal
his next girl would have to be Joan.
They lasted ten days and then went separate ways
so Jim continued along with his plan,
he'd have learned, you would think but new girl and new ink,
as he courted his next girl, Joanne.
Sadly now he's paying the price
for being a serial flirter,
he's now searching all of the dating sites
for someone called  Joannetteroberta.

Premium Member Just Looking For Peace

Hating all noise and inane tv violence,
a young man sits home cringing and weeps.
 Talk of a serial killer pervades the news:
 how one finger of his victims he keeps.

Looking for peace, the young man goes to fish.
So glad that he finally has gotten away,
he sets up his tent to camp in the woods,
till a stranger then comes and ruins his day.

The old burly guy has a barking dog,
and he’s endlessly pounding in stakes.
The young guy tells him: Please quiet your dog.
How much more of your noise must I take?

The bothersome man refuses to budge,
so the younger man finds a new site
but finds the old man won’t leave him alone
and has camped right nearby him that night.

By dawn, the man's dog lies dead on the ground.
How the sobs of that older man linger. . . 
Last straw for the young man! As he drives away,
on his seat lies a new bloody finger.

"DRIVE"

Imperial 
bulltwang 
oligarchy
number crunching 
serial winners 
cornflake box 
cracker jacks 
sing some songs 
that cut some flack
Pats on back helps
cut the slack from
wind ringing chimes 
hot air bumcracks 
anonymous blast 
dredging up 
saccharine ditties 
from the past 
tolling bells 
zero oceans
fathoms 
zero five 
deep dive
swallows
air
chirping
feathers fly
ring-a-round-the-rosies
sing-a-song of posies 
bubbling honey
bee hive.
Serious insects 
marching bands
beating drums 
semi-alive
hour glass
running 
out of sand
Metronome 
kisses
missing time
keep on working
for the Man.
Black Balls
White Ball 
rolling dreams
quicksand
sinking
out of rhyme
Take a walk 
in the forrest
stand tall
Rain comes
dance some
turn your face
to Number One
Brave.
Get in the car
wave 
your hand
foot flat to the floor
burn the engines
face to sun
put dark
glasses on
what's to be won?
survive...
listen to 
silence
DRIVE.

What Would Santa Claus Say

What Would Santa Claus Say
by Michael R. Burch
 
What would Santa Claus say,
I wonder,
about Jesus returning
to Kill and Plunder?
 
For he’ll likely return
on Christmas Day
to blow the bad
little boys away!
 
When He flashes like lightning
across the skies
and many a homosexual
dies,
 
when the harlots and heretics
are ripped asunder,
what will the Easter Bunny think,
I wonder?

NOTE: The biblical book of Revelation says that Jesus will murder children himself for their mother's sins, in the letters to the Churches. But he won't stop there, according to the writer of Revelation, because after all the earth's creatures have sung the praises of God, a third of them will be destroyed in acts of bloody carnage, along with a third of human beings. That's trillions of animals and billions of people. I can't believe the compassionate Jesus of the gospels, who had table fellowship with prostitutes and refused to stone an adulteress, is going to suddenly start murdering their children and become the greatest serial murderer of all time. And how can the man who taught us to put aside religious differences to practice compassion in the Parable of the Good Samaritan not follow his own advice? Jesus reserved all his sternest criticism for hypocrites, so wouldn't he have to live up to his own teaching?

With spring’s sudden warmth
serial avalanches thunder
one triggers the next 

Winter’s snow melting 
laughing, leaping, running to 
valley far below

Green slopes banded red
dying lodgepole pine,  memories	
of last year’s Chinook

Golden larch quivers	
as the first storm of winter
passes close tonight

As a boy, I came
to know this quiet valley 
father's special place 

Leaving highway to
where mountains reach to heaven
we drove the stone road

Fishing beaver ponds
dad came on bees, lost his specs 
on return  just bees

One night as we camp
a timberwolf comes to call
returns to dark night

On the upper lake
clouds mask the solar eclipse
but fish go crazy

One spring’s discovery
drawdown pools, teeming with trout 
who won’t touch anything

A five pound rainbow
beached chasing Peter’s lure
red stripe - jealousy

Late autumn, Lake B
big browns cruise downwind beaches
only we know where

A ski resort appears
wonderland needs paved roads
we protest in vain

Twenty years later
returning with my children
to an unknown place

If you slow to look
irate traffic leans on horns	
rushing to their lodge

My kids and I fish
a borrow pit now a“lake”
tourists' put and take

To a grizzly bear
roads are barriers wider	
than flooding rivers

Kananaskis is 
four-fifths a line of  haiku

Living Next Door To Theodore Bundy, American Serial Killer

A child once watched the monster call.
Where love was earned by fear’s recall.
The cradle rocked on trembling ground,
No laughter lived, no comfort found.

The hand that struck became the law,
The bruise a lesson carved in awe.
Toys lay broken, faces still,
A heart rehearsed its need to kill.

Empathy, a heart gone cold,
Stories sold but never told.
Mirrors showed a stranger’s face,
The smile a counterfeit of grace.

He learned that silence hides the crime,
That pain repeats itself through time.
Small cruelties grew to practiced art,
The hunter formed in youth became.

Fantasies stitched from mother’s cries,
Power blooming where love went to die.
The first mistake became a vow,
The mask was perfect, polished now.

He walked among us, calm and clear,
A whisper soft, but edged with fear.
He studied how the innocent trust,
And turned their kindness into death.

Each act a mirror of his long dark past,
Each life a way to make it last.
The world his stage, the dead his proof,
Beneath the calm, a shattered roof.

They called him evil, monster, myth—
But born from pain, he lived with this:
The child he was still calls his name,
Through bars, through time, through endless shame.
For every killer ever made—
  a broken child was first betrayed.
