Randy McClave Poems

I was from drugs and temptation
And also from anger and frustration,
I was from dares and also a weakness
And also from pressure and a meekness.
...

When everyone stared,
I truly cared.
When everyone else pondered,
I never not once wondered.
...

Drugs control my life
But, so does sorrow, worries and strife,
Please don't tell me that I can be sober
As I wait for my life to be over.
...

I am blessed
To all I have confessed,
I have air to breathe
And I have eyes to see,
...

Last night was our very first date
And I must say that it was great,
She wasn't a tease, and I was at ease
Not once did I hesitate.
...

I thank you Lord for the food we're about to eat
I thank you Lord for the drinks and the bread and the meat,
Thank you Lord for all that you have given me
I especially thank you Lord for my friends and family.
...

Man had created a Nation
Because of perseverance and inspiration,
But, before man wanted and desired
He was first inspired.
...

Any person that crosses over a picket line
That action by them it will soon define,
It will show a lack of character and no moral belief
From unity and honor they will not find any relief;
...

I hear the ringing of the church's bell
Sounding off from the old wooden steeple
Upon that sound my soul does swell
As I am summoned to it, like the other church going people.
...

I received letter from my lovers
And also letters from my ex,
They tell me how their life is going,
And I tell them my life is very complex.
...
