Randy McClave Poems

Blacks are not allowed in, I read it on the sign
But, if you are white, you can come in and dine,
Just sit down anywhere and order your food to eat
But, if you are interracial, please don't look for a seat.
...

Before anymore vengeance or blood splatter
Let me just say this, “all lives matter”,
We all were created out of the very same mold
But, then we were colored with different dye, as I have been told,
...

She pondered, "where is my curve",
That all men want to observe,
She then cursed as she stared into her mirror
That shape couldn't be found, so she sheds a tear.
...

I walked into the Doctor's office and it is cold
Or, is it just me because I am getting old,
The room is large, but the patients are sparse
I guess for me, it is a laughable waiting farce.
...

I hate you more than anything else that I know
I hate you more than the freezing snow,
And if I were drunk because of you and alcohol
I'd wish that I'd fall on you to break your bones and my fall.
...

I am strong
But, I am also tired,
I just want to be retired.
Years, I've worked
...

They say that suicide is painless
Forgotten like the days that are nameless,
They say that the pain it is never there
So, I wonder then, why should we really care.
...

All dogs will go to heaven
At least that is what they all say,
Even if though they don't go to church
Or know the words to pray.
...

We always have dishes to wash
And also a house to clean,
In the bin they'll be trash to squash
That is just our normal routine.
...

You have borrowed her shoes and her dress
Everything that she owns you want to possess,
You have cried and cried until you can't cry anymore
Now you are wearing everything that she once wore.
...
