Beating Her
Hard Life Poetry by Chris Bunton I was working at my desk in the morning.When I heard some banging and pounding,from below me. The neighbors were fighting again.But, this was different.This was screaming. It was the sound of punching through flesh.The sound of slapping skinThat sound of hands raised in defense,while a fist plows throughContinue reading “Beating Her”
The Horseless Carriage
It’ll Never Work I love the environment. It is God’s Creation. I’m a Christian and I believe that God told humans to take care of His creation. It’s one of the first things He told us to do. Humans have failed. We have let greed and the love of money, along with fear and aContinue reading “The Horseless Carriage”

Things We Can’t Write About
Truth Poetry by Chris Bunton There are things.Things that we can’t write about. Things we can’t speak of,Lest we open doors of destruction. What sort of things?You might ask, prying. Do you not know?Are you perfect in every way? I’m speaking of those sins,we commit, which never see the light of day. Those lusty affairs,ThatContinue reading “Things We Can’t Write About”
For Them
A Poem About Our Work Americans give their entire lives, to bosses who don’t care about them. We adjust our lives to make room for 40 plus hours devoted to them. We neglect our health, our spirits, our souls, and our families for them. We buy special clothes, and behave in special ways to pleaseContinue reading “For Them”
