pretty pickle
by Michael R. Burch
 
u’d blaspheme if u could
because ur God’s no good,
but of course u cant:
ur a lowly ant

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?)....

Jesus was a carpenter, 
he worked with saw and hammer. 
He pounded, banged, for 20 years, 
it was an awful clamor. 
Then he spent three years a'preachin', 
he never had a stammer.
At last they nailed him to a cross, 
nevermore to yammer....

Centralized power proves antithetical 
To your freedom - it’s quite pathetical

They ask us to be more ascetical 
And let them rule - it’s quite heretical

Collectivism fails! Not hypothetical 
Property and Liberty - quite synthetical

I’ll stand for freedom and wax poetical
It makes the message more aesthetical

Jim Comey Said About Trump

Jim Comey said that  Trump is heretical,
And not only that he has been unethical;
Wrote great book;
Breath away took;

Republican neighbor next door said it was
not time for a woman. Can you believe that....

Venerated priest John Almond
our brother - reprover  of sin,
a good example to follow
and to give testimony to Christ.

He often had to dispute
with heretical ministers,
who came away so confused
as not to know what to say.

He went through the crucible 
of life and of unjust punishment.
He was indicted
for it was a treason

for a priest ordained
according to the Catholic rite
to live in England;
so he was martyred....

a poets heart

they tore it from his chest
and yet it beat
in steady cadence,
a rhythmic resonance
roiling words
re-sounding a tone,
rekindling a fire,
reigniting a thought,
repeating-rebeating 
metered mystery’s
tortured torment
toying with truth’s
ludicrous lies,
rebeating-repeating
heretical hyperbole’s
hypocritical hollow
echoing eternity’s
empty promise.
