Randy McClave Poems

The father told his son when he becomes a man
To always be the very best that he truly can,
Becoming a man pertains to wisdom and not of age
Don't enter it with simplicity and never with a gauge,
...

I once had myself a Scottish Lassie
She then became my joy and pride
Then one-night she gave me Scottish ale
Then she became my Scottish bride
...

So fine a day it is today
To the world I send out my hope and care
Happy and joyful I am so to all I must say
That I will remember you all in my prayer.
...

Heaven gained an Angel today
A loved one had passed away,
Now she is in the Lords loving arms
Jesus said bring me your charms.
...

Be the way that you want to be
Not the way that others have chose,
Be not your Mother, nor your Father
Because in your body their blood does flow.
...

He was elected by just one vote
Democracy they say had truly spoke,
Now he is attacking the middle class and the unhealthy
While helping and protecting, the greedy and the wealthy,
...

Once we had just sticks and stones
Now we have guided missiles and drones,
At one time we could only hurt each other
Now we can kill a strangers father and/ or mother,
...

They say that the world will be inherited by the meek
So, decency and kindness and peace many will seek,
We now hear of bigotry and wealth by our elitist leaders
Then from the swamps, they beckon the bottom feeders,
...

A fighter doesn't need a scrapbook
Or his trophies or ribbons in a trophy-case,
All that he needs is a mirror upon a wall to look
Then he will remember his every fight, by the scars on his face.
...

Let's build us a wall to keep everyone out
Let's build us a wall even if they scream and shout,
To the heavens it must rise to protect us one and all
Then we all will be finally defended, so let's build us a wall.
...
