Randy McClave Poems

As I rub my hands together
Trying to stay warm in this cold weather
Shivering and shaking I am so very cold
This is the winter of the youth, and not the old.
...

Of the GODs we all believe
And of men we all know
They rule us when they can’t deceive
With prayers or guns or a bow,
...

GOD created the world from inspiration
All came forth from his thoughts and imagination
Through tedious work it became his creation
His thoughts and labor became his obligation,
...

They say that she is a gem
A diamond in the rough,
While lacking all the social graces
Which some of us embraces;
...

If you will bring me a glass of water
Just to quench my thirst
I promise you I will be forever grateful
And of your kindness, I will always think of first,
...

Is a man's existence worth more than a loaf of bread
To save himself from starvation so he steals to be fed
Then off to prison should he then be led
If a man cannot afford food, should he be better off dead.
...

To all my friends I wish to say goodbye
As tomorrow I know not what is in store for me
That might be the day that I am meant to die
Then up in heaven, I will be with my family,
...

If I could only relive my life
Just to undo the mistakes and relinquish my strife
To remove the errors that I once had done
And maybe forget something, or even someone
...

I go to bed with both sadness and fear
Who will be the next voice that I will hear
Will it will be the gentle voice of someone I know
To greet me with a 'hi' or even a 'hello'
...

Sweet Bonnie, Bonnie lass
She is walking through the grass
With the wind blowing in her hair,
She is looking for the man
...
