Devon McElveen Poems

Why do I enjoy this feeling?
Is that really a question?
...

The woman in the red dress
How I admire thee
How could one walk with such grace
And such beauty?
...

As we dream
We are forced to believe
That anything we wish
Can be conceived.
...

A young bird leaves the nest,
Searching for his calling.
A calling that has elluded him
While he has resided in his birthplace.
...

1 Kilogram of Corruption
1.2 grams of Hatred
3 grams of Government
231 milligrams of Nationalism
...

He sits there thinking,
Listening and watching
With eyes and ears
That learn more with each passing.
...

My mind feels empty
I must fill it with knowledge
For knowledge is key
...

I will meet my fate
As you will yours.
Our lives will wash away
On the earth’s forgotten shores.
...

We dare, travel into the darkness of despair?
Continue to try when our limbs grow bare.
This world we see is far from fair.
While they fell around me, it watched and stared.
