Slavery A moral depravity A moral degeneracy followed by intellectual degeneration A luxury and currution among the upper classes Slavery A world without the fundamental human rights Revolting cruelty from the ****** outrage to brutal ****** Slavery World of chains World of hard labour World of pains sorrow and agony Songs of joy are sang in the world seeing the end to this hideous blot Yet slavery still exist in the modern world Described as modern slavery Modern slavery A world without chains yet psychologically we are chained World without hard labour yet we work ourselves out to survive World with  fundamental human rights but filled with betrayal at the cause of justice Slavery World for the poor World for the less privelage World of reality

SLAVERY
Nobody marching toward us Their guns making us die. No tanks are come clanking No bombers in the sky. But our Congress and generals When oil or bases seem needed; We appear armed and threatening Peace and love talk not heeded. No country has attacked us With troops and lethal artillery. But our leaders expect us to Go open up their arteries And **** their women and children And laugh while they all die And we are expected to do this And never think to ask why. It’s almost like big companies Were sad when WW2 ended So they started attacking countries We really should have befriended. We let Russia have free reign To **** and ****** and steal Almost as if their aggression Wasn’t really true or even real. We looked around and made them, Those evil old warlike excuses, That some country threatened freedom And we pretended they weren’t ruses. We attacked Korea and Vietnam We were just supposed to observe That they were yellow people there And think they got what they deserved. We didn’t stop there, as Reagan took A duly elected leader and put him in jail. If any country did that to our country The conservatives would howl and rail. Then the Bushes tried their best to take Iraq to steal their oil and punish them And created an era of stronger hatred And anti-American outrage and mayhem. No foreign country has attacked America; So, the point bears repeating once again. We need to stop acting like bullies here And start acting like decent statesmen And women who have the bigger picture; The growth of peace in our battered world So, other countries will not take their guns And shoot our flag when it’s unfurled.

I loved him carefully; from afar I liked to watch him grow into the man I knew today. I loved him carefully; I watched his moods making sure the outrage stayed as far away from me as I could. I loved him easily... It wasn't hard when his green eyes watched your every move and his lips held pretty words that danced through my ears. But he loved me recklessly; he came at me with full speed ahead on marriage and lack of trust. He loved me dangerously; so much that became afraid to love me at all for fear I would be his all. I loved him carefully and it was too easy to fall apart when he walked away. He loved me recklessly and it had become to dangerous for him to keep me around.

Dangerously easy
Pacing rapidly, doors slamming in the background. I can't find iPod...no - irritation is building up inside of me - it's about to erupt. Where is my iPod?? In a violent flash of outrage, I smash my earphone against the desk. Dropping down to the chair, and gazing out of the window, I'm suddenly thinking who is this hot-tempered person?

Annoyed
In this life we are sculpted down to bone burned to cinders and our ash tossed without regret into the four winds I wish I could live. Be a man. Find comfort in the sun. But every cell in my body revolts against time cries out against the sun speaks in tongues for the sole purpose of creating an outrage against God. Oh Lord! How did you make us thus? And why? Above all why? We are made metal and in the end alloy with the sun. Our breath is drawn to fuel that fire bring life to a boil and if luck prevails to wake each morning in comfort and with a smile. Perhaps the last sweet smile.

Fire and Bone
Emerging economies. What they’re emerging from I don’t know. My guess, the depths of hell. From the frying pan, right into the fire, or worse; a well. A deep hole stronger than gravity, the force. To be forever under the thumb of remorse. A modern era of endless acts, policies and bla bla bla. Shut up with all your platitudes. I see what’s really going on. Aha! You speak of sustainable development. Nice to know that you’ve led by example. Carried the mantle for all these years. Centuries of ruthlessness, now veiled in sheep’s clothing. But you won’t shut up. Because you don’t speak. You never have. You just do. Each day that goes by, you carry on anew. Behind all the talk of hope, equality and more progress, it seems the wolves are lurking. Cooking up the next tool to subdue countless. This time, not behind closed doors. But in plain sight. It’s scary to imagine such spite. Each year that goes by it becomes clearer that you never cared. You sold guns, drugs and all kinds of war. And each time, you kept coming back for more. You’ve built up antibodies that ensure your survival. But sometimes I wonder if you’re alive at all. But what do I know? Maybe you’re more alive than ever. Doing what you do best but always more clever. That not even the most stable of geniuses can evade your pressure. A strong enough foundation that each break makes you stronger, So strong that not even the Gremlin can take you under.   Against this dreary background, foregrounded is nothing short of magical. Beyond hope, prayers or a thoughtless radical. Or maybe this is all just fake outrage. An attempt to evade the boredom of this endless monotony and baggage. Or maybe, the term is out of date. Like every other, that makes me increasingly more irate. In which case, this poem is at least ten years late. Or maybe there are too many maybes’. And I’m perfectly suited for this time of vague uneasiness and indifference. In which case, my imagination probably needs more sociology and less a lesson in rhymes.

I am a person of colour Whose simple presence can cause outrage they use their tongues as swords and slay me with slurs Whilst there are others who pretend to be my ally but I can see their disgust in their eyes their uneasiness in their smile I am a person of colour Whose beautiful traditional garments are cherry-picked and woven into a disgusting replica brandished on “Designer labels” and mocked as exotic I am a person of colour Whose skin is secretly envied by them they exhaust their expenses on tanning salons and “bronzing” creams Yet simultaneously they spit on my “darkness” and promote their products with the so-called beauty of “lightness” I am a person of colour I shall not hide my anger at their ignorance I shall wear my skin with pride Because being a person of colour No matter what I do or how I conform They will never be satisfied

I am a Person of Colour
I’m a woman with some attitude-- not one who will dispense a platitude. Chicken soup won’t give you soul; from me, it’ll get you an eye roll. You try to mask your disapproving looks with sanctimonious advice from large print books: “Embrace the moment” “Be grateful” and “Breathe” “Pray” “See only the good” “Turn the other cheek” “Accept others’ flaws” “Don’t criticize”-- I have some advice that’s a bit more wise: “Don’t put up with ******** “Embrace your outrage." While you were living in the “present,” history turned the page. God is Dead, you’ve got to take charge; you’ve been scammed by crooks in suits, who live large. People aren’t so good; sometimes they’re **** They’ve pulled the rug out from under where you sit. Don’t accept others’ flaws; tell them to go to hell. If you’re really mad, don’t breathe, just yell. Anger is good, it’s there for a reason. You’re just a phony, with your people pleasin’. Get off your **** and take some action-- stick it to the jerks, join the radical faction. Accommodating ******** just brings on more-- just wait, and you’ll see what’s next in store.

I walked into the cocktail party room and found three or four queers talking together in queertalk. I tried to be friendly but heard myself talking to one in hiptalk. "I'm glad to see you," he said, and looked away. "Hmn," I mused. The room was small and had a double-decker bed in it, and cooking apparatus: icebox, cabinet, toasters, stove; the hosts seemed to live with room enough only for cooking and sleeping. My remark on this score was under- stood but not appreciated. I was offered refreshments, which I accepted. I ate a sandwich of pure meat; an enormous sandwich of human flesh, I noticed, while I was chewing on it, it also included a ***** ******* More company came, including a fluffy female who looked like a princess. She glared at me and said immediately: "I don't like you," turned her head away, and refused to be introduced. I said, "What!" in outrage. "Why you ********* fool!" This got everybody's attention. "Why you narcissistic ***** How can you decide when you don't even know me," I continued in a violent and messianic voice, inspired at last, dominating the whole room.

In Society
MESSENGER Now at the Seventh Gate the seventh chief, Thy proper mother's son, I will announce, What fortune for this city, for himself, With curses he invoketh:--on the walls Ascending, heralded as king, to stand, With paeans for their capture; then with thee To fight, and either slaying near thee die, Or thee, who wronged him, chasing forth alive, Requite in kind his proper banishment. Such words he shouts, and calls upon the gods Who o'er his race preside and Fatherland, With gracious eye to look upon his prayers. A well-wrought buckler, newly forged, he bears, With twofold blazon riveted thereon, For there a woman leads, with sober mien, A mailed warrior, enchased in gold; Justice her style, and thus the legend speaks:-- 'This man I will restore, and he shall hold The city and his father's palace homes.' Such the devices of the hostile chiefs. 'Tis for thyself to choose whom thou wilt send; But never shalt thou blame my herald-words. To guide the rudder of the State be thine! ETEOCLES O heaven-demented race of Oedipus, My race, tear-fraught, detested of the gods! Alas, our father's curses now bear fruit. But it beseems not to lament or weep, Lest lamentations sadder still be born. For him, too truly Polyneikes named,-- What his device will work we soon shall know; Whether his braggart words, with madness fraught, Gold-blazoned on his shield, shall lead him back. Hath Justice communed with, or claimed him hers, Guided his deeds and thoughts, this might have been; But neither when he fled the darksome womb, Or in his childhood, or in youth's fair prime, Or when the hair thick gathered on his chin, Hath Justice communed with, or claimed him hers, Nor in this outrage on his Fatherland Deem I she now beside him deigns to stand. For Justice would in sooth belie her name, Did she with this all-daring man consort. In these regards confiding will I go, Myself will meet him. Who with better right? Brother to brother, chieftain against chief, Foeman to foe, I'll stand. Quick, bring my spear, My greaves, and armor, bulwark against stones.

Inside the bubble that is your mind Revolves an endless cycle of war The sting of your tyrannical thoughts Launches missiles through your vile lips Vilifying my dignity with hurricanes of syllabic outrage Swiftly dispensing my emotions into your hole of egoism Jealousy frequently consumes and controls your actions Foolishly you listen to every whisper that blows your way Tell me lady what do you want from me? I break my neck to fulfill your pleasures But you repay me in grotesque fashion **** on my pistol of revenge baby doll By Glenn McCrary © 2011 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)

Intellectual Weaponry
it is grief and rage all at once. and there are never any words for this— simply a scream, a howl, an outrage. in this I have never felt more helpless: my apology will never be enough, but staying quiet will mean silence, and silence means consent, and no— I do not consent to any more of this injustice, this farce, this outright lie. there have been enough stolen lives. my love, my black brothers and sisters for which there are no words: I am so sorry. you will always have me in solidarity. I feel as if I can do so little, but lead the way. send me your voices, send me your battle cry: and I will do my best to be your megaphone, your ally, if need ever be. and my love, these children, good men and women who have been lost to this earth, who this earth does not deserve: I am so sorry— but you deserve far more than my grief. may you find justice. may you find home. may you find rest; may you rest in power.

The perfect woman is beautiful, of course but not too beautiful, ( enough to be objectify-able but not so much as to be threatening) The perfect woman has a voice and a mind ( that she wisely decides to leave behind) The perfect woman should never be heard ( unless she becomes a part of the herd) The perfect woman Is benign and blind ( to everyone's faults except her own, which also, btw, she ought to make known, or god forbid, she'll be harkened a ***** How rude.....) The perfect woman Is coy and shy (changing her demeanor for a girl or a guy) The perfect woman Does nothing wrong (yeah right) (and still doesn't get why she can't belong) The perfect woman Knows her salad forks and plates She encourages, she nourishes She creates, (she waits, she waits , she waits) The perfect woman is an overachiever (but readily labeled to be a deceiver) The perfect woman doesn't age doesn't dream or rebel Oh no, dear no.... none of that outrage The perfect woman can be a nymph and a nun (knows how to not show that she knows what is fun) The perfect woman, is curvy but thin each angle defined each strand refined with a dazzling smile and a glowing skin (no matter how she gets it It's that she gets it, she gets it.) The perfect woman Is strong and composed But when she's patronized She doesn't resist... She carries her grace on her well turned calf and a delicate wrist Till it's proper and unopposed The perfect woman is cruel to her daughter and kind to her son ( as she knows what it means to be a woman even if she forgets that she's also one...) The perfect woman doesn't want to be free you see, it's simple She's come to terms with the very concept That it's her destiny Sigh. Let's say this, let's try.... Here's the gist The perfect woman is either every woman or she doesn't exist.

Land of the free you seem to call it But the freedom only seems to fall on one end of the spectrum one side of the scale And when the scale tries so excruciatingly to balance itself When it comes crashing down in an attempt to be heard, to make a sound, It is met with cries of outrage; With a selfish victimization of, “what about us?” “don’t we matter too?” but that’s not the point, now is it? The scale isn’t screaming out any less for the importance of one side by trying to give an inch of importance to the disregarded other. Black Lives Matter.

Freedom
Story about a place, story about a stone Story about a child, wandering all alone He is an orphan, like most of his friends The ones that are still alive, I suppose A tearful mother looking for her daughter In the dusty roads where millions died She wondered: will they ever end this slaughter? And then sighed Because she already knows the answer: There is no hope to survive Story about a place, story about a stone Oh wait, this is not a story Because we know it's true Because we faced this outrage too But we're still here aren't we? And so will you be, probably Just keep your hopes up For it will soon be just a painful memory

Oh, the sensation, the media frenzy, The spotlight, the fame, the hullabaloo, When anti-evolution laws Were challenged by the ACLU! The year: 1925. The place: Dayton, Tennessee. To say it was an extravaganza Wouldn't be hyperbole. For many people it was hard To find a way to reconcile Biblical accounts with science, So science found itself on trial. A young teacher, John T. Scopes, Was willing to face prosecution For breaking a Tennessee law for having Given a lesson on evolution. The "Monkey Trial" it was called. The challenge meant swimming upstream For the feisty lawyer Clarence Darrow, Who helped to lead the defense team. A prosecutor was William Jennings Bryan, who with no apology Loved to stir up outrage against Evolutionary biology. Defendant Scopes quickly found It wouldn't take long for him to know What it was like to have a part In a multimedia reality show. The courthouse received a make-over: Platforms for newsreel cameras were built; Extra spectator seats were added. They were playing the trial to the hilt. Concession stands sold food and drinks; Toy monkeys were on display; A chimp was dressed in a suit and fedora; The clergy also joined the fray. The media and the public loved it! The country watched the trial progress. What would win: science or scripture? The answer was probably easy to guess. After an eight-day trial, the jury Deliberated. Nine minutes later They had their verdict: guilty! How Could someone question THEIR creator? Scopes had actually never given The lesson. That's what he later said. Strangely, five days after the trial, Williams Jennings Bryan dropped dead. Laws later changed, but even during Current times, some people feel That stories from the Bible should be In science textbooks. Now THAT'S surreal! -by Bob B (11-6-18)

Behind the building, a one hundred percent green certified building an amazing feat of engineering-science-forward thinking fabulously energy efficient cutting edge building sit solar panels in the sweltering heat, extra heat from the toxic clouds in the sky which now envelop the Earth There, under the panels sit a small band of sheep, who represent the last little bit of progressive wonderfulness visionary design and research based and proven and the future because they eat the grass and there is no need to use toxic fume producing loud unnatural unsustainable lawn mower But the grass is long dead. It is just white and yellow and there are lambs baby sheep who sit and pant underneath the sustainable solar panels without a decent meal in sight. Only stalks and yellow deadness I suggest vitamins or supplements after all there is no grass, only grass out that is watered sustainably and is carefully fenced off from the living sheep underneath the dead panels behind the dead building. Outrage from the forward thinking cutting edge Wi-Fi custodians of the cement and metal building and panels, panels that emit a high pitched hum from a hot metal box and regulate the CO2 in each room automatically The sheep are there to eat the grass if you feed them, even to make them healthier so that they may get up out of their hot suffering and eat some stalks in addition to a little bit of supplemental feed they will not eat the dead grass, and they are there to eat the grass they are not there to be comfortable or healthy they are just sheep But sheep are only living non human feeling beings and not part of the forward thinking cutting edge metal and cement technology that is worth a lot of money and was written up in the paper and got the custodians attention and recognition. And they are just suffering, hot, miserable animals and despite all of our technology, Mars landing solar panels to electricity advance thinking technological wonders our compassion and empathy remain tight and selfish and the dead things, not the living ones, are what we value

Behind the building, a one hundred percent green certified building an amazing feat of engineering-science-forward thinking fabulously energy efficient cutting edge building sit solar panels in the sweltering heat, extra heat from the toxic clouds in the sky which now envelop the Earth There, under the panels sit a small band of sheep, who represent the last little bit of progressive wonderfulness visionary design and research based and proven and the future because they eat the grass and there is no need to use toxic fume producing loud unnatural unsustainable lawn mower But the grass is long dead. It is just white and yellow and there are lambs baby sheep who sit and pant underneath the sustainable solar panels without a decent meal in sight. Only stalks and yellow deadness I suggest vitamins or supplements after all there is no grass, only grass out that is watered sustainably and is carefully fenced off from the living sheep underneath the dead panels behind the dead building. Outrage from the forward thinking cutting edge Wi-Fi custodians of the cement and metal building and panels, panels that emit a high pitched hum from a hot metal box and regulate the CO2 in each room automatically The sheep are there to eat the grass if you feed them, even to make them healthier so that they may get up out of their hot suffering and eat some stalks in addition to a little bit of supplemental feed they will not eat the dead grass, and they are there to eat the grass they are not there to be comfortable or healthy they are just sheep But sheep are only living non human feeling beings and not part of the forward thinking cutting edge metal and cement technology that is worth a lot of money and was written up in the paper and got the custodians attention and recognition. And they are just suffering, hot, miserable animals and despite all of our technology, Mars landing solar panels to electricity advance thinking technological wonders our compassion and empathy remain tight and selfish and the dead things, not the living ones, are what we value

As with everything else in American life, the national government is just another commodity packaged for mass consumption. We're all being spoon fed a spectacular narrative which by its very nature is designed to evoke the passions. Every day, someone gets on TV and says or does something which provokes outrage, drawing the viewer in like the iridescent lure of an angler fish, and keeping them hooked just long enough for the hypnotic messages of the corporate sponsors to burrow their way into the collective consciousness between "newscasts." It is precisely for this reason that these frivolous displays SELL like hotcakes. There's no government going on here. There hasn't been for who knows how long? All that is left is BUSINESS. Raw and unfettered. The United States of America is now nothing more than a 'reality' show, and boy, I tells ya, the revenue stream is OH, SO LUCRATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debord and Baudrillard Were Right (DISCLAIMER: NOT A POEM)
We proposed for Witches Abroad on Broadway, a costume. As a lure to students, orange and black candy. Dancing at the prom, cell phones caught the ghouls. This stretch of road was full of cool cats. Unlucky ones were left on the side as skeletons. We swept them clear with our broomsticks. Our guns were not as brutal as broomsticks. Bristles hid the ******* end, as if in costume, No flesh, just skeleton. Like bags of orange and black candy, They were left, full of calico cat. Our familiars, our friends, dinner for a ghoul. They pulled at the ghoul, In the hands of a witch, danger came by broomstick, When ghouls snacked on cat, In their orange and black fur costume, Tasting sweet, like candy. They beat them up and down, but they find another skeleton. Them ghouls come faster, giving birth to others, another skeleton. Vocalizing desire for black and white, red and yellow make orange, a ghoul, Howls for student flavored candy. A witch lays out one, then another with her broomstick, Removing the face mask and costume. Them that can, holler their outrage in cat. Your *** was revealed in orange and black on a calico cat. Females cooled themselves of *** unwilling mates to a skeleton. Once alive, copulating loudly, now in a death costume. Walking upright, a neighborhood was destroyed by a ghoul. Neighbors watched, a witch patrolled on a broomstick. Your students were seen as human candy. One wife beater had a juicy rind, sweet and soured candy. At the dance, hors d’oeuvres were made of cat. Shot forward, it can create a hole, can a broomstick. Where stomachs used to be, a skeleton, Death conquers all, no more ghoul. One, now many properly attired for the Danse Macabre in costume. I found an orange, as broomsticks cleaned Broadway of cat candy. In my student costume and human face mask, my path is crossed by a cat. It disappeared as if it never was, visible only to Death, a skeleton made by ghoul.

I Found an Orange on Broadway Avenue

Once I met a platypus; I took her to my heart. We held hands by the lake at night, And flew kites in the park. We drank red wine by moonlight, And closer, by degrees, Expressed our deepest feelings; Explored our fantasies. And then, as these things happen, There came a happy day: We took an ad out in The Times Announcing progeny. But outrage at the outcome - Our beloved platy-pups - Was front page in the tabloids! What was the platy-fuss? We gave the papers interviews, We gave our truth and trust - But still my Love was slandered Just for being oviparous! We formed an equal rights group. We founded charities. To educate, to celebrate Our ovi-parity! We swore a solemn, binding oath, Between the two of us The Wedding feast and party was Quite monatrematous! Uncle Mallangong was tearful; Aunt Echidna was abeam: The Boondaburra “Moonwalking” Was something to be seen! There were Joeys sloshed on cider, Wombats smoking **** Emus snogging at the bar - Koalas wild on speed! For sickness, health; for poorer, Or for great prosperity; I will love and hold and cherish, Through all adversity, My nondarwinian lover; My mutant, duck-billed Queen! My unconventional ****** My monotreme – my dream!

When everything was fine And the notion of sin had vanished And the earth was ready In universal peace To consume and rejoice Without creeds and utopias, I, for unknown reasons, Surrounded by the books Of prophets and theologians, Of philosophers, poets, Searched for an answer, Scowling, grimacing, Waking up at night, muttering at dawn. What oppressed me so much Was a bit shameful. Talking of it aloud Would show neither tact nor prudence. It might even seem an outrage Against the health of mankind. Alas, my memory Does not want to leave me And in it, live beings Each with its own pain, Each with its own dying, Its own trepidation. Why then innocence On paradisal beaches, An impeccable sky Over the church of hygiene? Is it because that Was long ago? To a saintly man --So goes an Arab tale-- God said somewhat maliciously: "Had I revealed to people How great a sinner you are, They could not praise you." "And I," answered the pious one, "Had I unveiled to them How merciful you are, They would not care for you." To whom should I turn With that affair so dark Of pain and also guilt In the structure of the world, If either here below Or over there on high No power can abolish The cause and the effect? Don't think, don't remember The death on the cross, Though everyday He dies, The only one, all-loving, Who without any need Consented and allowed To exist all that is, Including nails of torture. Totally enigmatic. Impossibly intricate. Better to stop speech here. This language is not for people. Blessed be jubilation. Vintages and harvests. Even if not everyone Is granted serenity.

Imagine the outrage If a band, all-male members, Refuse to play tunes for the opposite gender. Imagine the uproar The venue would face For excluding a half of their customer base. “It’s rank discrimination!” The ladies would moan. If the males got to listen while the girls stayed at home. Yet the Bulletproof Stockings, That band that wears wigs, Exclude guys from their concerts Not just chauvinist pigs. “It’s a matter of Faith!” The girl band members say; No guys at their gigs! No men hear them play. Yet I’ve heard pious Pastry chefs Don’t get to choose. If gay brides want a cake It’s a crime to refuse. An Orthodox authoress who published a tome would be most put out if male buyers stayed home. So if girl musicians seek public expression They ought to think twice about gender oppression. Its great that they’re keeping an orthodox home. But enough of these concerts For women alone.
