James McLain Poems

Each woman doesn't realize that
Her husband could die any day, having
Left no life insurance policy.
...

My earliest one was as an Egyptian slave,
The last I remember was a priest on the field
During the American civil war.
...

While looking alone
when standing
he watches as the waves
wash it all slowly in and out
...

They cause
the most damage
to Democrats
by lying to themselves
...

The sad fact is
people aren't smart enough for Democracy to flourish.

The democratic process is predicated upon individual
...

Night is night when she comes
and where it is,
at the edge of it, they begin.
...

She sleeps
at the top of a tree
in a world
filled with moss
...

Do not be sad
I was one of the few born lucky I guess
grace now
freely released begins to leave me.
...
