Premium Member Who Agrees with Socrates


       Swindlers and charlatans 
           strut the world’s stage

         Decent folk beat a hasty retreat
           ‘tis the era’s outrage

Premium Member I am anger

I am anger, a hot fire, 
A tempest fierce that tears the night, 
A burning force of raw desire, 
Outrage fuels my fiery might, 
A storm that won't easily tire.

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

Silence

I cannot in all honesty 
Pretend that all is well 
Or that all will be swell 
That would only be a travesty 
It would be better to gather courage 
And to stand up against this outrage!

Speak stronger and louder with outrage assert
Right, Left or inane, it keeps us alert
Our First Amendment rights
Can be shorn overnight
When the Man shouts “quiet and you won’t get hurt!”

Small Town Profiling


friends and me tonight,
stopped for walking with dark skin,
they know what's coming;
tell me not to show outrage,
eclipse of the sun will pass.

Premium Member The Age of Outrage

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."

' Wake Up '

apathy benumbed, chaotic deeds embroidered friendships gnawed, hatred indurated jiffy keen loss met, noble outrage preserved queries repudiated, songs tuned unheard vague wisdom exalts, youth zzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Premium Member Life and Love

LIFE AND LOVE - double

the stockyards
a hoard of brown steers streaming
such trusting innocence
this outrage in the dust
i want to cry

then this

love moment
a fated brown beast
catches my eye

Been kinda political lately, that's sure not my style But some things outrage me, so I'm standing in the aisle Yelling “stop this guff Had more than enough Need a break and common sense to prevail for a while!”

Premium Member Noisy Neighbors

The damn thing’s screaming in the yard
It wants green eggs and ham
It’s trying to play the outrage card
Cuz all I had was spam
The wretched fox demanded Bach,
He didn’t like Coltrane
He’s screeching out there in the woods
His socks have holes again

Secret

Calling back, the snatcher.
After the outrage, 
Eros was on run.

      *

The lyrics melt 
on lips. Moon will 
not tell the wind.

      *

A sparrow sits at window sill 
when I am thinking 
and looks straight into my eyes.

Feel the fake outrage
on what was clearly a jape.
See racism everywhere 
and forget about child rape.
Smell the desperation 
and false narratives shape.
Hear the TDS haters
and media each other ape!

Premium Member A Bald-Faced Lie

President Biden said inflation was 0% in July
    I can only imagine the media outrage
  If ex-President Trump had told the same lie

  But with Biden, the media is sycophantic
    To shield him from criticism they are frantic
  The question from John Q. Public is WHY?

Premium Member Unseen Fetters

Unseen fetters bind as chains,
Yoking man to his sin.
Sweat and pain is his legacy,
As were father's before.
From outrage, His cry echoes for justice,
Drowning out Mercy's faint whisper..
There is no hope,
Without realizing that forgiveness is the lock,
And God's grace is the key.

Premium Member The Chair

Listen to poem:
I'm frozen here
And shall remain
While anaesthetic
Eases pain 

My lips are fat
My tongue just lies
No words untrue
While spittle flies 

A mouth aghast
While tools engage 
And rubber fingers
Squeak outrage

Construction
Of the oral kind
So mastication 
Is refined

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...!

Premium Member School Shootings

school shootings
anguished screams

  public outrage
    calls for action
      marches & rallies
        media blitzes
          politicians fulminate
        propose legislation
       congress debates  
     bills stall & die
  anger subsides

nothing happens
