Best Conditions Poems

In a social society,
where I'm not a priority.
I'm sick and tired of being strong,
when they only see me as wrong

I never read the terms and conditions,
so I'm mute, like forgotten musicians.
Misplaced in a place I do not belong
I have no desire for a final song.

Maybe...

In times of a virus spreading its unruly truths I wonder why

	What matters most seems to be toilet paper

Loops and loops of the stuff and people care about their bum

Three ply of course because thin is not for survival of the fittest

Metaphors for when crap...

Marbles, marbles! I've lost my marbles. 
I don't know where they are. 
I know I had them recently, 
So they can't have gotten far. 

Blast it all! My marbles. 
Where have I gone and left them? 
I used them just the other day. 
I was...

Love is a disease  easily to catch
 When it hit you you'll never forget
It teases you 
It taunt  you 
I t just get rid of you

You think your the happiest person in the world
Finally you realize love hurts
It drags every last energy from...

Medical Conditions of Cartoon Characters

By Elton Camp

Barbie and Ken look just right
Cartoon characters are no delight
There is old Porky Pig, if you please 
Obviously he has Parkinson’s disease

And just as soon as you see her 
You know Olive Oyl has anorexia 
Attention deficit disorder has...

Under the Wright conditions
man can fly.
So thought Orville and Wilbur
and in those days,
folks really named their children
Orville and Wilbur.
Eventually, their dream 
was realized;
short hops at first
then longer spanning
continents and oceans.
Till man wasn’t needed,
our eyes in the sky
can keep watch over
Omar and Ahmed.
And these days, 
in...

I, in my coolness, Rage about the Heat.
As sweltering mirages ride the air,
I hibernate within my man-made cave.
   As the sun burns through the ozone layer,
   Our polar caps recede, warming the seas.
   UV rays scorch people, plants and...

She is given freedom to rise high
      but not to peaks of sky.
She is given freedom to get educated for family's reputation
      but not to her senses satisfaction.
She is given freedom to marry to her...

I am the bird that is in the cage
choosing to fly in the enormous sky
I am not a avaricious of liberation and exhale
Only deciding to display some absurdity
act the absurdity and live the absurdity
But, why my steps are barricaded by the boundaries
Only wishing to surface...

There are users, abusers
And bitter accusers
In the World of negative thought
There are legalistic, ballistic
And increasingly sadistic
In the World of righting the "not lot"

~On the other side~

There are roses, poses
And delivering Moses
In the World of fanatical dreams
There are hoping, doping
And constantly roping
In the World of sewing...

Loving hearts may often soften

Late at night, way up north, Santa delves
into making identity elves.
When pressed, none remember
their pronouns or gender,
but it’s specist to sit upon shelves.

Conditions of Confusion

I close my eyes and listen,
I wait and try to hear,
yet still no sound approaches,
the same as every year-

another circle finished,
retracing steps go past,
again the picture's shattered,
in broken shards of glass-

A lonely howl of anguish,
a cry of laughter soft,
the fallen dew a silver...

The sun goes down,
Fear-stricken towns.

Night-crawlers come out
So quick... No time to shout.

In a world where evil is allowed,
The good die young & the bad stay proud.

The heroes unsung,
Know that it has just begun.

The world is in pain...who do you blame?
You're the only one having fun.

Go...
