Randy McClave Poems

A hammer is a hammer as I've been told
From the day manufactured, or the day bought or sold
And it will be remembered as such a tool
Even if destroyed, or examined by every molecule
...

Christina was depressed coming out of the loo
She wasn’t the vibrant happy woman that I once knew 
She then looked up at me and then she cried
She said she was confused, because now she has a baby inside.
...

I was tired of youth and being one of the boys
I wanted to hurry up and be one of the men
Finally I became an adult, so I threw away my toys
Truly now I wish, that I was a boy once again.
...

Of the Man that is betrayed,
Of knives and bullets he is not afraid,
Enemies and foes are all about,
Trusting strangers he is in doubt,
...

As Jesus spoke to all that would hear
Maybe with a sadness and even with a tear,
He was disappointed, but he was not afraid
From one amongst him, he had been betrayed,
...

If you say that you love me
Love me more than just one day
Love me as though I am your destiny
Then for our love I will always pray,
...

Some say they know me, but do they really,
Does anyone know the makeup of this one man;
Some see me as serious, while some see me as silly
Then some see me as "I can't" while others as "I can".
...

Someday we all will turn to dust
As there will be an end to us all
And as assuredly as iron will rust
Death for us all, it will fall.
...

There was a pounding upon my front door
I never answered it, so I heard it no more
Then I noticed clutter upon my kitchen floor
So I closed my eyes that mess I did ignore.
...

A Judge he will judge, just one man
By rumors and deeds he does not know
Sometimes to humiliate and crucify is his plan
With the power man gave him, which he loves to bestow,
...
