Supported Poems

Oh, children of a lesser god-
defects can steal your life away,
as you are judged by how you look,
or if you hear or speak, or see;
if arms and legs fail miserably-
or minds perform imperfectly.

We fail to see the worth inside
which often...Read More

This tribute’s to dear Teppo Gren
He supported both women and men
His account’s now deleted
As his friends were mistreated
He will not post on PS again’

To newbies, kind words he was gifting
His comments sincere and uplifting
Now Teppo has left
I feel quite bereft
To...Read More

As I gripped the glass in my hand,
I studied its form
The diminutive stem of depression era green
                    was pale and nearly...Read More

Psycho Analysis
by Michael R. Burch

This is not what I need...
ANALysis,
paralysis,
as though I were a seed
to be planted,
supported
with a stick and some string
until I emerge.
Your words
are not water. I need something
more nourishing,
like cherishing,
something essential, like love
so that when I climb
out of...Read More

Are you feeling sad,
wanting your faith community,
democratic society,
to live more...
live more deeply...
live more widely...

Faithful to wealthy health, yes,
and I wonder if you are angry,
frustrated,
impatient,
wishing for more enthusiastic RESPECT,
more Aretha Franklin listened to
and more explicitly understood,
appreciated?

On my worst days,
anger.
Most days and...Read More

It took 
a deadly virus
to disprove all those theories 
that
supported the idea of superiority 
of
race, color and sex
and
prove, beyond any doubt,
the 
reality of equality, not only 
in
the eyes of our Lord 
but
in Man's eyes as well!

Within sleepy sheep folds
of retributive divine justice
postponed til kingdom comes
and diva queens go 
to hell where we sinfully belong
like all unfaithful Negroes
refusing to shuck and jive
custody of 20/20 eyes
and to disconnect bicameral ears,

Discovering within these quiet unexamined folds
remains an uncreative...Read More

I miss you, won't see 
you for two years.
I miss your smile and
the sound of your voice.

You always make me 
smile and laugh when 
i'm sad, you have always 
been my favorite cousin,
nothings the same without you.

When i play basketball,...Read More

These are post-revolutionary gay '20s,
without pre-revolutionary SpeakEasies,
replaced with ListenHard
to global climates of LeftBrain dominant despair.

Margaret Meade encourages

urges small winds
assembled in privatized circles,
yet still dreaming of love's great evolving liberty,
winning healthy democracy
to win wealthy economies
to win resilient ecology
to win resonant polypathic...Read More

Freedom of speech
is less about freedom from suppression
when more about freedom toward mutual dialogue,
cooperatively held impression
to co-invest in active democratic hope.

Perhaps this is why
First Amendment non-violent communication values
grow in heart-felt significance
as Second Amendment rights to bear violent arms
recede in multicultural...Read More

Neither wished to be 
taken advantage of
Both refused to 
compromise, one spoke of
not being. favored, and in light of
circumstances he 
sought kindness above
all other facts.
Unbalanced they remained 
to one another
Seeking. advice and
 encouragement. from those
Who supported there togetherness.

Thinking
 
is Man's mental activity aiming at
the initiation 

of 

an inner dialogue with divinity's 
Nous*

in

the hope of unlocking life's many
mysteries!

THE CRADLE OF MANKIND.
 
The archaeologists of this era 
Were about to excitedly find
The Cradle of Mankind
Where the origins of humankind
Had been found, the news was about 
To be revealed to the whole world
And so the ears of our globe...Read More

If I was God
I'd be angry with the world
I'd be angry with Christians
Because I told them 

How to overcome the world's problems
first they were to go out into the world
and become fishers of men
then they were to teach them ...Read More

I don't imagine
we could ever have an environmentally healthy just war.

We need only look at torn and poisoned outcomes
from past ballistic international encounters
to see "healthy war"
as yet another oxymoron
capital city leaders fail to notice.

If no environmentally secure
and well-defended organic life...Read More

THE CHIMNEY
The once fine air, refreshens with dust
Between the village horizon and crest
Since the sailing of a death chemical chimney.

Young green plants seedlings growing on slope
Are left to sip these  carcinogenic dusts, sapling
And entwined between vague horror.

A river source,...Read More

Built from nothing has everything come from love
This earth, the sun, the moon and all stars above
By Thy word commanded, the world was wrought  
O Lord, how awesome thou art.

Rain from clouds fall, to the earth and lakes below...Read More

just a tad
bit little
late but
still in
a way

migrating
my grating
worked on
work nerves
are severed

several even
oddly have died
being cut off 
and left
right

where they were
isolated thoughts
not supported by
trusses or beams
or rebar reinforce

ment meant to
sustain or at
least suspend
any attack upon
my heart

so though after

Tomorrow, is Test Day;
An unknown fear made way
Went to pray to HIM seeking personal favor.
Asked HIM to bless courage
to get through, must flourish
in the tough competitive test, to be saviour.

Felt assured to get HIS
grace, fear cleared as it is.
Believed everything...Read More

they found the discovery sound science
they started their research thinking
they could use natural additives mixed

IT WAS SUPRISING TO HIM

AND AMAZED.
SHE SMILED AS IF JIS FEELINGS WEREN'T TO BE HURT
OR AT LEAST BRUISED.
BUT IT DIDN'T STOP...Read More
