Premium Member Pride Be Hubris Run Amok
41.
        Resist I Must

Pride is hubris run amok
To rot the soul within.
It rises from the depths of hell...
The deadliest of sins.

It is the snake that slithers so
To pervert both bold and brave.
It may appear the luminous rainbow
But at...

The Amok of Pedro By Robinson Cavalcanti
Pedro, the traitor of Jesus Christ
This man, if he could be called a man
Killed 12 followers of Christ
Like a crazed Wolfman

Pedro firstly meet with Christ in a forest
Christ asked him if he had mercy of other people
Pedro answered: Yes.
Christ presented him 12 followers of him

Camp Run Amok


Put the pork-n-beans
in a big garbage can
Let the kiddies run wild
til lunchtime, 
then try to reign ‘em in
Make the little bed-wetting buggers
play White castle in the sand
Find out who clogged the shower drain
and stopped up the toilet again
The Camp counselor
is looking a little addled,
even more...

Amok Time
"You need to get to Vulcan?"
asked Kirk with some concern.
"I'm afraid it can't be done
until after we return."

Looking at those smold'ring eyes,
Kirk knew something was amiss.
"Maybe if you will talk to me,
we can improve on this."

"It's not something I'll discuss
with someone of your race.
You only...

Run Amok
Palpable hatred makes your nostrils seethe
As you inhale all the imagined wrongs
Grounded in ignorance
And no reality


A match is struck 

Martyrs are made
And fools are kings
Grievances run wild
Fed by even more vengeful sins

The place is ablaze

The rioting season has begun
Who will outlive
This bellicose insanity
That is but...

Technology Running Amok
Technology Running Amok 

By Elton Camp 

The newest electronic devices I really enjoy
At home and at work I always strive to employ
But when I met my supervisor the other day
I didn’t much like what it was she had to say

For this big, walking, beeping robot...

Fanaticism Runs Poetically Amok As Pseudo Tribalism Village One
airing zeal! If (dog forbid) the richly paid, namebrand 
looming kneecapped kneeling illustrious giant egghead 
con cussed career athletes fumble, crumble and bumble 
spelling a loss for those spectators (who doled out 
a wad of cash) quickly make collective disappointment 
known by cursing, first in...

If you don't want to press your luck
Never iron a four leaf clover, big yuks
It's a giggle each day
Need to find a way
To shoo your troubles and run amok...

Premium Member Atonal Antiphon Amok
Throughout the ages an aching sigh,
dispersed by waves on rabid seas which only splutter,
swept up by gusts that mask a cry which disappears
across the nettle voids,
this raw dispatch of fatal wound backlog,
atonal antiphon amok,
a caution light epistle
back in time to be quenched by secret language...

When Life Has Run Amok
if you  write life without a plot
what you have is a vacant lot
it’s time to pause and examine the story
consider introspection and an inventory

there are days of purple haze
life is a maze of many ways
in disrepair, life’s not fair
I declare what can I bare

I’ll...
