Sex Hex
by Michael R. Burch

Love's full of cute paradoxes
(and highly acute poxes).

Midnight Stairclimber

Procreation
is at first great sweaty recreation,
then—long, long after the sex dies—
the source of endless exercise.

The One True Poem
by Michael R. Burch

So many people worship You
You hold the world in hands of blue
Hold us closely to Your chest
We always know that You know best

If we are in trouble or upset
We know from You the help we'll get
We know You watch us...Read More

...It was from an old colleague of mine,
in southern Russian working a new dig,
of Proto Indo-European tribes,
he believed it would be something big.

Wanted me to come out and take a look
at the artifacts they had found there,
claimed they had found...Read More

Husband Adam would brag to wife Eve:
"I have many a trick up my sleeve."
But alas!  He was nude
so — a sleeve-challenged dude.
That's why Eve was so hard to deceive.

If I have the time to think about compassion,
For it is not only there to give but also to share;
Humanity inevitably needs to have more care,
Action is a must and not to hide under compunction.

Empathy is a word that lost...Read More

and then i was made whole
by Michael R. Burch

... and then i was made whole,
but not a thing entire,
glued to a perch
in a gilded church,
strung through with a silver wire...

singing a little of this and of that,
warbling higher and higher:

You and yourself are a holy war
A happy pain you won’t ignore
You and yourself are a holy war
You won’t believe your family as you trust the air
A system of love and hate that you think is fair
A blissful struggle at...Read More

There once was sinner named Saul.
Who was quite overzealous for the law.
He persecuted the church.
Went to Damascus to search.
Where Jesus transformed him to Paul....Read More

While playing church & God hell in the heart. One to many deliberately deceive while some honestly want a change of heart. The pope himself can wear a thousand Rosary Beads. The church can blow all the smoke they want...Read More

Our ancestors opened up the world for us
They freed us from physical slavery
Some died fighting
Some still living
And some lived to be old
Then died from old age and natural causes
So why are we still living with the slave mentality
Why are we...Read More

Three Vegans went to church today
Lighting candles along the way
For garlic cloves
Cooking on stoves
That never once heard, "lettuce pray"

Nonbeliever
by Michael R. Burch writing as Kim Cherub

She smiled a thin-lipped smile
(What do men know of love?)
then rolled her eyes toward heaven
(Or that Chauvinist above?).

when you dive into the sea you're an alien
atmosphere you cannot stay within
the waters surface their o zone layer
a suit to breathe limited time stayer

you cannot adapt and set up settlement
just observe and take in the experience
convoy as a pack...Read More

Daffodils in bloom
We all did assume
But if they did die
We all know why
The sun is murder
Pushed ever further
By the uncaring
And religion is a red herring
For profit is their king
And his praises they sing
A path to green paved with bones
And a...Read More

   LETTER TO SANTA

What is it like to be dead?

Does anyone know the answer?
What is it like to be dead?
Something so hard to imagine,
Fills my existence with dread.

Infinite time of unconsciousness,
Like a Coma with no release.
Is it a thoughtless black void?
What is it...Read More

The Land of dream

 Early Tuesday morning when the night
Glides into a new beginning somewhat reluctantly 
And no police sirens have been cutting the night
Till before and after sleep.
I will like to go to India. the vivaciousness of
The humanity intrigues...Read More

Stolen Statues

The glory of yesterday, 
taken down and destroyed. 
Pummeled into dust,
by those that stole their rights, 
to be where they are. 
They promised good things, 
and took away all that 
meant anything. 
They replaced our heroes
with shadows, 
and demanded,

Why does anyone infuse their life with vile actions? 
These people wait for something to happen
Yet they never make it happen themselves
They made their future by abusing people
They had no hope whatsoever
Love wasn’t in their dictionary. 
And whatever their beliefs,...Read More

In verity and with great hopes,
Malachy told his Prophecy of Popes!
Centuries ago, he was called to Rome,
Like the bees to their honeycomb.

There a beauteous vision did flower,
Of all remaining popes in their hour!
His sequence of most cryptic phrases,
From first to...Read More

As traumatized as I am
by the history of organized elitist creeds,
including religious and judicious,

I am even more terrified
by my experience of disorganized unnatural spirituality,
dissociated bicamerality,
unenchanting mono-laterality,
win/lose egocentrism,
narcissism,
flirting with lose/lose climates of nihilism,
anthropocentric chauvinism,
inhumane unnatural straight white male business as usual...Read More

The Holidays are upon us, as the year comes to an end.
My hope for all I do not know. and those who are my friend,
Is for health and happy living, and enough to get you...Read More

Peevish spell maligned mental management
Mother Earth sustains a form regardless
“Mind over matter” they used to teach you
Control the “Religion of Climate” to bleach you

Trot a troll on mind control
Marionette children speak for demon masters
They just recite, “We told you so”
The...Read More

I'm sure you have heard a preacher
Claim God created each creature
But look to the sky
And you will see why
Clouds are the greatest art teacher!...Read More
