O'lord of blight dare thee to now abide
Leaving thy abode to earthen realm ride

As grief bearer, humanity to smite!

Dar'est thee enter,...

In a world where crowds are lost in heavy noise,
Where every face becomes a shadow in its own game,
I watch silently as laughter breaks the empty walls,
And the scent of alcohol mixes with smoke and...

This is a result of text messaging. You have forgotten; how...; to punctuate. It affects you. This affects me. This effects all of us. Misplaced kindness masked by hate; lost in a text. There's no...

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 Divide
by Michael R. Burch

The sea was not salt the first tide ...
was man born to sorrow that first day
with the moon—a pale beacon across the Divide,
the brighter for longing, an object denied—
the tug at...

Ordinary Love
by Michael R. Burch 
 
Indescribable—our love—and still we say
with eyes averted, turning out the light,
"I love you," in the ordinary way
 
and tug the coverlet where once we lay,
all suntanned limbs entangled, shivering,...

People say my poetry is mostly doom and gloom
But I’m a funny person and I’ll prove it to you soon
My wit and sharp ripostes are a constant delight
Let’s see if I can tell this story...

with a man intoxicated by power and control? 
What do you say to a man
who has no heart nor a soul?  
What do you tell the...

When Humanity Cries


Message in my angry pen
Peeps yearning for release
To scrawl on white walls
Venom from a ‘ball’ sting,

  Bane in an irate pen
  From a daring ken.

I yearn to hug The Hague
With stumps...

She cocooned herself
Spinning the thread tightly
Around her troubled mind
Knowing out there
Out there were the people
Who watched her unwind
Who could not be kind
Losing ground
Every day
She fought to stay
Sane
Untouched by pain
She cocooned her mind
Her weak troubled mind
With...

Our Shame, 

"PRESIDENT" & "LEADERS" 

Full grown men,
old,
devoid of vision,
Lacking in wisdom, 
wicked weaklings 
protected by paltry paid gun men 
great grandfathers, 
unwilling to train Younger Leaders.
Untrained themselves in morals & reputation,
Liars,  
Tired &...

Stupid flowers,
Eaten by a stupid sheep.
It’s all so ignorant,
My efforts wasted away. 

Blind little lamb,
Eating flowers so absentmindedly,
Flowers like the ones I found on the hill,
Where we would watch clouds pass by.

And the clouds would...

Have you ever seen the ants in action?
soldier ants on rampage?
They have the power to kill and destroy,
Yet,they are powerless and small,
insignificant and weak.

I am a soldier ant,a spoke ant;
and a protector of  my...

Does it really matter that i conform to the norms of the day?
What perfect blueprint is there for the journey called life?
Who are you to chastise me for being filled with flaws?
Only one was made...

I went to the places 
where the poets all go
There were so many rhymes
The going was slow
The sky had fluffy clouds
Reminding me of snow
The ground verdant green
had an emerald like glow

Metaphorically speaking
Under rocks I was...

If scorn were tangible, my neighbors' feelings 
would be fiery red. Through my window, I just 
saw them pass by. Seeing me, they quickly looked

Seek while you may find, strength of cerebral cortex. 
'Though shrouded in complexities, higher minds advance to next. 
Con folks par exellence, exorcising painful memories. 
Enabling state of elightenment, a projection of ideas.

these young cats are sick
bullets zip then they dip
witnesses zip their lips 
wont say sh1t

they just skate off
homicide scene taped of
no dental records the whole face shot straight off

no his squad plots revenge

Pumping through the boundaries
like water out of a burst pipe
they go beyond
in search of that golden fleece.
Leaving the yam and millet
In hands of ''intellectual weaklings".
Deserting their muddy palaces
Resorting to restrooms yonder
Good hands seasoned for hoes

The day was still, windless
A  presence surrounded me  
Though my eyes seemed empty
I could see it standing, waiting, silent.
Not threatening, just waiting among the rocks
As I stumbled towards it.

After the fall I thought...

OH MY GRIP

I thirst for blood
To my taste

I want war at the front of peace 
I want hate at...
