Best Outrage Poems
OutrageThere’s no decorum or respect
Within the White House walls
And cameras let us witness
Some behavior that appalls.
Invite a foreign dignitary
Then berate, insult, accuse –
That’s the playbook for a bully
Desperate to be in the news.
Why would any other country,
After seeing that display,
Send a leader, knowing he or...

Turning the Page On OutrageA red-streaked panorama graced Washington's dawn
Clear lake-blue skies there all day long
Portland smoke-gray, from tear gas and pepper spray
Antifa showed its true colors on Inauguration Day
Not a hint of outrage from the government or the press

Dramatic Monologue
Where Is the OutrageI think we should consider this!
We all get berserk over a mass
shooting in the USA, yes?
However, where are your tears for
125, 000 unborn children who will
die tomorrow and everyday this
year?
Where is our sorrow?
Where are our thoughts and
prayers?
For those 125,000 snuffed out
unborns each day.
An unborn...

Outrage Over Dog's DestructionBy Elton Camp
Dog lovers are in an uproar
Won’t tolerate it anymore
A precious dog has been killed
Their loving hearts are chilled
Its life was very important, they say
It shouldn’t have been done that way
Though the chance had been detected
With Ebola virus it might be infected
They say, with...

An OutrageI saw a man going down the street,
I thought it odd, he had no feet.
I saw a woman by a newspaper stand,
I thought it odd, she had no hands.
I saw a girl smelling a rose,
I thought it odd, she had no nose.
I hadn't gone another...

The OutrageBetween the two doors,
one that leads you in and the other moves you out,
stands this man, shouting at this little girl,
the voice like an autocrat,
and the words come out as easily without a second thought.
The anger of some previous tension, all out on this...

Yet another Black person, guilty of a crime...

Property Taxes Are An OutrageProperty Taxes Are An Outrage
By Elton Camp
At such time, if any, I should become king,
Property tax to an immediate end I’ll bring
Although most taxes I don’t mind to pay
To get revenue, there has to be a better way
To tax our property can it possibly be...

OutrageI am at odds with this world
bearing ill will towards all,
There’s a moral outrage brewing
in me that I’m unable to constrain.
It’s like I am on a crusade to
right the wrongs of modern society
and punish those responsible.
To exact revenge on those who
have soiled the...

Outrage...The outer edge of my mind is brooding,
Steaming, bubbling in ways not soothing.
Outraged at the mistakes unfolding
Out of range yet an anger growing
And better to have you listen….
‘Cause, the message I mention is potent.
Delivered to those in the notion
The outer limits of Source I reckon
Are...

Pocket Full of HateIt was the way he stuffed his hand
Down the front pocket of his slacks
As if he were standing in a movie lobby
Waiting for friends
Nonchalant
Wanting to watch you watch him
With an unbreakable stare
And almost a grin
His chin
Jutted out like Trump’s
To a shocked yet thrilled crowd
That holds...

Nine Eleven 2001A day
That I’ll always remember
A very somber DAY
A very sad day
A day to ponder
A day to wonder
A day
Not like any other day
A very unusual day
A day to pray
A day to say
A day of madness
A day of sadness
Oh! my God
A very crazy day
A day to respect...
