Randy McClave Poems

Republicans and their supporters scream
That every unborn child has a right to live,
And every fetus they say has a right to dream
That right to them we should always give.
...

They scream, "No Tax Help For The Poor"
Don't give them our tax dollars any more,
We the taxpayers need it more than they do
For a large refund we taxpayers are long overdue.
...

I grew up eating whatever I found on my plate
Whatever my mother placed on it I always ate,
I was never ever picky or choosy for the food
But, I was hungry and I was never ever rude.
...

By perseverance I made it to where I am today
From hard work and faith and the many obstacles in my way,
With a steady persistence in a course of action
Especially in spite of difficulties and discouragement I gave more traction.
...

The Bible says to feed the hungry
And also to always help clothe the poor,
To always welcome strangers
And to care for the sick who can't care for themselves anymore.
...

I smoked and I thought I was cool
As I smoked and carried cigarettes around school,
And because of me others began to smoke
Even many of my own kinfolk.
...

I wished I had some drugs today
As I remember the pleasures from yesterday,
When I was both happy and free and high
And I never asked myself why.
...

We must not and cannot let a thief get away
Or they will steal again another day,
Even if they're taking just a nickel or even a dime
They must be known and judged for that crime.
...

I know a sin has many tools
But, they all follow the very same rules,
They are a willful violation of a moral principle
Or a deliberate attack against religion which is biblical.
...

Always repay your debt
But, never with remorse or regret,
Repay it with a smile and pride
Then you will have honor at your side.
...
