Voices is intended to be a collection of poems written and illustrated
by Mike Burr .
numberless
voices they say
steal from me
rob me bank
the vile calculus of deceit is upon your equations
and your numbers are among the complexion of a lie
you may invoke the law to justify your measures
but we know that they are as corrupt and putrefactions
undifferentiated from their form
coalesce to deny candour her dues
fleece me
thieve from me
agent of that sick proprietor
and be sick yourself for within you your spawn
shall know trickery and they shall germinate that shame
and so all your generation be so cursed
when all is done and the trivia of money passed
i know you will have no thought or conscience of it
for that is the way that scum and criminals are built
and you for sure are an agent of that kind
