Devon McElveen Poems

Why do I enjoy this feeling?
Is that really a question?
...

The woman in the red dress
How I admire thee
How could one walk with such grace
And such beauty?
...

As we dream
We are forced to believe
That anything we wish
Can be conceived.
...

A young bird leaves the nest,
Searching for his calling.
A calling that has elluded him
While he has resided in his birthplace.
...

1 Kilogram of Corruption
1.2 grams of Hatred
3 grams of Government
231 milligrams of Nationalism
...

He sits there thinking,
Listening and watching
With eyes and ears
That learn more with each passing.
...

My mind feels empty
I must fill it with knowledge
For knowledge is key
...

Am I strong enough?
Am I smart enough?
Am I fast enough?
Am I good enough?
...

I will meet my fate
As you will yours.
Our lives will wash away
On the earth’s forgotten shores.
...
