Outrage Poems

Outrage

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 she’d
Be treated in that way?

Every day brings more examples
Of outrageousness

A 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 the Lord
A day of hell
A day to hail
The Almighty
With respect

Have you ever been convicted of a felony?

   ~ we shed no tears for the baby's demise

False Liberal

the false liberal
a profiteer
takes advantage of good and vice
wants to profit from our sacrifice...
  Does not  llove life sucks it up,
does not  love humanity
explores it...
Is a pariah,
a parasite
between usury and theft
he exits,
to usurps and boasts
with the fruit of sin...!

Gender

count of that day
as there was in the limbo of time
early before the man arrives
or later when we'll all be gone
but the facts were not like that
for example it was not april
it didn't rain fire as someone already mentioned
and much less there was such a commotion
we went down the slope and arrived tired
the grass under

Premium MemberSoul Feels Outrage

Soul feels outrage, being confined
Mind-body prism decays
Senses guide what may be divined
Bondage till end of days 

Cessation sets us free
When head and heart agree
In carefree, joyous spree

Body a cage 
Soul feels outrage

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 
   Or not. Mind you, these incidents still

Outrage

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 fabric of society.

Unbeknownst to me, 
this seething resentment 
is raging

Outrage

Our state does not mandate masks in schools. 
Under the best conditions, teaching during a pandemic is difficult.
Teachers try to keep up with who is here, who is absent.
Reality sets in when our kids are hospitalized for no good reason except for
Angry parents who demand that a piece of cloth on the face infringes on

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."

My Little Room

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 that room!"

The poet writes in aesthetic words,
"Perhaps you should greet

Premium MemberTurning the Page On Outrage

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
   It's alright if the fascists are left-wing, I guess
At the

Pocket Full of Hate

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 its breath and thinks
You don’t really have that kind of

Outrage
Written: by Miracle Man
12-9-2019

We’re living in a world of worthless outrage,
We innocently say things that fosters rampage.
Seems everything spoken bruises somebody’s shin,
We claim some word has caused our chagrin.

Today, it seems, that we’re too thin skinned,
Attacking others until their words they rescind.
We nit pick, and search, for a lame reason to whine,
While with others thinking

Brexit Outrage Yet Again

Why do News Agencies Always Say Scandal?

Because they don’t even seem to have a handle
That some said no and are ready to go
And why the Remainers need to keep blowing their nose

As for me do I care.
Well yes as I was also there
And I still watch the news every night
Even and despite

The way though it
