Best Outrage Poems

There’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...

A 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

I 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...

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...

I 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...

Between 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...

Have you ever been convicted of a felony?
   Have you ever aborted a baby? ...

 Outraged by the second question's premise
   ~ we shed no tears for the baby's demise...

I'm so sick and tired of police brutality;
  Incidents after incidents of racist White cops 
             Brutally beating up or killing 
   Yet another Black person, guilty of a crime...

Joseph Biden thought he'd call Donald Trump
Trump picked up and roared, "How ya do-in,' Chump?" --
   President Joe was outraged
   He had Stormy Daniels paged --
Smirked, "This'll help you get over the hump."...

Property 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...

I 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...

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...

It 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...

The Lord spoke softly to me:
"Go into your room,
close the door behind you
and pray to your Father above.

You screamed "Come out of that room!
Hell knows what you do in that room!
The people want to see you out of that room!
You spend too much time in...
