Best Rampant Poems

When words are running rampant
You just have to rein them in.
By lassoing a few of them,
At least you can begin.

They’ll buck and kick and race around,
Defiantly at first, 
Especially the adjectives – 
You know that they’re the worst.

But once you calm them down and let

Age Discrimination is Rampant

By Elton Camp

Younger folks don’t think about such stuff
You will if you manage to live long enough

I didn’t experience it until after I retired
And looked for a new place to be hired

Jobs for which I was extremely qualified
My visage, interviewers suspiciously eyed

Just...

I purchased a rabbit named Brandy
By jingo, that young buck was randy
It caused such a to do
When he humped my left shoe
Thank goodness the hosepipe was handy!

Potbelly was the pride of the wealthy,
the fatter they looked, the richer they were presumed;
now days the rich have found the source of energy...
by staying in shape and looking haggard.


Rampant obesity is a real problem for the common people,
and when it comes to eating habits,...

R is for the repeated distortions of facts,
A for press articles written with hacks,
M for the emphasis placed on survival,
P for the piss taken out of your rival.
A for analogies that never convince,
N for false narratives making us wince,
T for traditional values cast-off

Huge raffle prize proved quite a shock
A chocolate bunny in a 2 pound block
Son nibbles its ears and then its  ...elbow 
Dirty minds cease - this rabbit's a doe!

Rampant and endemic police brutality... 
flourishes against United States citizens of color 
going on three years 
post George Floyd 
short lived heightened awareness
when #blacklivesmatter 
in conjunction with 1619 project
wrought upwelling of progressive surge
hinting at positive transformations.

Despite random throw of dice
proffering gifting, blessing, et cetera 
yours...

I heard there were horns on an Iowan fox.
This went around the circle of kids wearing socks.
In front of a time piece that had out of sync tocks.
The circle was strange, most nurses wore crocks.

The gossip went haywire, ending down at the docks.
Bass fisherman parked...

All hell breaks loose on Halloween
Things sure get bent all out of shape
It is strange how things truly seem
It’s real dark no light can escape

Ghosts and ghouls to make their debut
All hell breaks loose on Halloween
Wizards, witches put spells on you
They’re all more wicked than...

emotions are protruding
thoughts hunting a bounty
dreams are intruding
this situation's gravity
            much too substantial
            to adequately express

DID WILL, BILL AND GIL GET THEIR PILL?

I got this great idea to invent a pill
Make is so men can get pregnant as well
Dudes walking around in camouflage
Take it and if not you get a one way ticket to an earthly hell

This pill will be...

Prejudice, inferiority and abuse
maligned, hashtagged, and dogged
heels of peoples uprooted peoples
south of the equator, or elsewhere
whose epidermis strongly hinted
fifty plus shades of ebony.

They found themselves in debasement
within complex edifice housing
facade of equality
ofttimes receiving punishment
their sole supposed crime
accentuated, heightened, perpetrated
courtesy born swarthy complexion
even if prominent features

rain rampant  
rivers of love rollicking
red roads of peace 
reverberating an
 remembrance
released rejaculated
into the womb

Agony, grief and particularly anger
roil these lovely bones
life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness
exempts those graced with darker skin tones.

Rather than raucously riot,
I craft emotions courtesy poetry
mine feeble attempt to agitate and protest
sublimated thru scathing poetic indictment
lame contrasted against violent protests.

Peaceable methodology,
(viz printed word) versus war
preferable...

Searching somewhere beyond sight,
For miens and visages propelling into quotidian lives,
With smiles,blues and not so much to cry,
Swept away every scratch of soul,
This wave not seen, not felt, not known.

Sanatorium thronged disquiet,
Medics and Paramedics taxing 
Efforts reclaiming lives, 
Risking theirs in face of time
Pining on...
