Randy McClave Poems

The nature of an empire is to expand
To conquer a country and take their land
Invading and taking over without sorrow or regret
Conquering by the sword, and then by debt,
...

The sky is blue and the grass is green
It is such a beautiful and majestic picture and scene
As I look out from my own back porch
I then think of the beautiful lady and her flaming torch.
...

My best laid thoughts is to do the best that I can
As I am equal in GOD’s eye to any one man
Judge me by my deeds and what's deep within
Don't ever judge me by the color of my skin,
...

Let's put away our childish toys
We men we all come from small boys
We run we climb, we cover ourselves with grime
Our screaming and our filth is our joys.
...

She wasn’t like the touch of rain
That gently falls upon the skin
That makes one happy and makes one grin
She instead was like the touch of pain.
...

'I won't be able to retire until I am dead'
'The government taxed me to death, ” so said Fred
So now he watches the clock, so he won't get docked
I will always remember those words that he had said
...

As I lay here dying
I watch the people pass me by
And not one person here is crying
Even though they know that soon I will die,
...

Until the last drops of my blood
That falls onto the earth and becomes a mud
Upon that same earth others will tread
Then they will walk upon the blood that I bled.
...

From the cold and frozen earth
Stood one lonely plant trying to survive
I thought was it mother nature’s worth
To allow this one lonely plant to stay alive,
...

The witches of Dalkeith will fly tonight
And they will fill our souls with their terror and fright,
Underneath the moon, they will sing their tune
'Your soul is ours, you are ours' they will sing to delight;
...
