Best Brute Poems

If you are so proud
of your sensibilities and tastes,
so convinced that your arbitrary judgements
are infallible as heartbeats of angels,
if you are the sole instrument of God's grace and evaluations
then why don't you allow them to stand next to that which you condemn
for your peers and...

He promised me i would not die
As I’d been forced to live
He promised me I would not cry
And his heart he would give

And now its summed up in a sigh
The sorrow and the pain
No more will I be placed on high
Just caught up in a...

The Brute 

By Elton Camp

Jody hangs his head in dismay
Not knowing what to say

His father is doing it once more
Shameful what’s behind the door

What he’ll do, his wife he tells
“It’s your fault!” he angrily yells

“If you would only do what right
There would be no need...

Agricola……
so started Gaius Caesar’s last assault
a farmer, who we hated by default
for Latin somehow came to rule our world
as meanings of declension slow unfurled

Thus, were we tossed into the forum’s pit
to grapple with the words and how they fit
to stand alone before the silenced crowd
to...

Woe to thee with a trait of jealousy,
spewing forth words of exaltation,
filled with self-righteous indignation.
Thy tongue reproves your own decree.

Thy nature be that of a hypocrite...
with one hand thy offer a pat on the head
with the other, a knife till victim lay dead
With thy dagger...

Give the angels back their wings
And the devil his horns,
You might be as beautiful as a garden of blossomed flowers, 
But you're still covered with thorns....

It is as if their odds were divided by zero,
The chances of me being “normal” are quite… impossible.

Look at me from different angles
And beware of my varied sides,
I cannot comprehend life’s matters unless they’ve got a
Study - guide.

I am not cold-blooded! I am not alone!
This...

The design of this piece encourages you to literally fill in the blanks; I wonder how you would have responded?

Ah, it’s you!

How are things?

Really; that’s terrible

He did what – and with who?

Well, of course he was always inclined –

Yes, but I didn’t want to say...

cool brute drum dumb
classical knives high
above weeds buzz
-ed soldiers slip
though the grip
of tanks shooting
shells washing on
the sea strewn with
bodies white lime
-stones the bright sun
crosses the high
-way spitting cars
for miles and mile
-s wishing to be…...

You're a brutal brute who barks at the sheep clothed in your bite marks.
The phrases you tattooed within me are maggots crawling into my brain.
While they lay eggs made of tainted Ivory Seraph hair - it chokes my thoughts.
My lungs blare into echoing rooms, yet...

A mixture of the brute and the divine Man is,
That’s why the strife in his soul never ends
As the eternal adversaries for superiority strive
In the depths of everyone’s divided heart.

To be but a brute,
So proudly cast,
Impudent and rude,
Unkind and crude,
Is but a thing of a brute....

The minute I get out of bed
So much clutter in my head
Dangling precariously by a thread 
How the hours of restful sleep have sped
Once midnight tears all shed

Morning hours awake I dread
Needing to deal with strife instead
When ever so lightly I must tread
After hurtful things...
