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”

Beyond The Veil

Tail-Rhyme Poem by Chris Bunton Beyond the veil, in other worlds nearby; sensed or seen dimly in the third eye. Mystical beings, where secrets sought; in distant past, by myths shrouded.

We Don’t Trust Them

Rebel Poetry By Chris Bunton We don’t trust them.Those giants who rule the Earth;those fallen ones who stole our dominion. We don’t trust them.Those royal descendants of “gods”;those of the divine blood line. Why should we trust them?They live in castles even today,while we still cower in caves. Why should we trust them?From days ofContinue reading “We Don’t Trust Them”

That Night

Christmas Poem by Chris Bunton On a night long ago;in a town far away.Our savior was born,to take our shame. He came from on highto a lowly place.To offer humans Grace,and a life full of Hope.

In The Park

Haiku Sonnet By Chris Bunton Sitting in the park,On a dreary autumn day.Watching the leaves fall. Squirrels gathering nuts.Working to survive winter.They know what they need. But what about me?What real purpose do I have?All of nature knows. They all know their place.Do they question their purpose?Do birds wonder why? Humans are corrupt in ourContinue reading “In The Park”
