Randy McClave Poems

I own not a rifle or even a gun
As did my father, but not me or my son.

No person or creature, do I ever want to kill
...

No school for today,
There was no school yesterday,
And probably no school for tomorrow;
The children they are all glad,
...

Before you knock at my door or ring my bell
One thing you must know about where I dwell
...

Tonight; let there be peace
Let all killings and violence end
All hate, just let it cease
Instead of a foe, let's be a friend.
...

In the eyes of a fly I am an immortal
I live for years and it lives for just a day
I then kill it, and I give a slight chortle
It should have been faster and flew away,
...

The tears of a woman
Which can be used to deceive
The many weak minded man
And the man who will easily believe.
...

I will not throw up my arms
I will never call retreat
I will not turn and run away
From the truth and what I believe.
...

GOD counts the tears that we have cried
GOD knows the times that we have lied
He knows all, that enters and leaves our mind
And he knows too, if we are evil or if we are kind.
...

She came and gone like a thief in the night
Though she wasn't a stranger she was my wife
She robbed and stole and then broke my heart
If only I knew how she really was from the start.
...

I walked towards the ocean
As she began to roll and began to roar
Then she put in in a daze, I remembered today
As I thought of a woman, that I knew once before.
...
