Randy McClave Poems

He is though a very short man
To the world he must always prove himself
Tired of woman laughing when he walks by
And hates it when children calls him an elf.
...

I received letter from my lovers
And also letters from my ex,
They tell me how their life is going,
And I tell them my life is very complex.
...

Any person that crosses over a picket line
That action by them it will soon define,
It will show a lack of character and no moral belief
From unity and honor they will not find any relief;
...

I hear the ringing of the church's bell
Sounding off from the old wooden steeple
Upon that sound my soul does swell
As I am summoned to it, like the other church going people.
...

I am so excited that once again it is June
When the sun is bright and the birds all sing in tune
Winter is finally gone so no more shoveling of the snow
Now there are hedges to trim and also grass to mow,
...

Sex was once my master,
It once controlled my soul and my thoughts,
My mind and feelings became a disaster,
From women I only wanted their cheers and applauds.
...

Though she knows both this and that
Except for where next she will be living at
Lived that life, as both daughter and now wife
As she is just, a Military brat.
...

As he happily walks down the street
Clapping his hands and shuffling his feet,
Smiling at the people as they walk by
While nodding is head and telling them hi.
...

When you look down upon my face;
And you see the sadness and also the disgrace,
Please remember, they were not always there;
But think of me in your thoughts and your prayer.
...

Into the snake's eyes I looked deeply within
I saw not hate or evil or any deadly sin
I saw fear and terror from a creature that wanted to survive
And all that it wanted to do was just to stay alive
...
