Randy McClave Poems

On your knees,
I would like you please
As you have been many times before,
I do not want you as a wife
...

When I meet my creator at the last judgment
A tear in my hand to him will be my only present,
I will not present him with a list of people that I have hated
Nor, will I show him the lives that I had soured and that I fated,
...

Proudly, I display and salute the flag of the United States
Where freedom reigns and justice dictates!
A flag that was not created for hate or race or bigotry
But, a flag that was born to the proud, and the true and the free,
...

To any unhappy married man this thought I will happily endorse,
Before you walk or run away from your wife, I suggest you first get a divorce,
I say this with all truth and honesty without any sadness or remorse
Go straightforward to your lawyer and always stay your course;
...

We scamper around like timid little mouses
If we can't pay our taxes we will lose our land or our houses,
We hide and we fret when it is time to pay those taxes
A working man must always worry, and a rich man he just relaxes.
...

Ann was in tears as she sent Jimmy off to war
She cried as she thought that she would not see him anymore,
Maybe he will be killed, or shot, or become a prisoner of war
Those feelings Ann had about Jimmy, them she could not ignore.
...

I was born in the city of Ashland,
Nowhere near or on the hot beaches sand,
I was born near the river and the mountains,
Not near the museums, waterfalls or fountains.
...

They called him a nigger, go figure
Because of the color of his skin,
Is that a freedom of speech, that we teach
That by colors we can judge all men.
...

She told me she could take me to heaven,
But, she ended up taking me to hell,
I was looking for joy, peace and happiness,
Where we ended is where lust and sorrow did prevail.
...

Old, old Nick, why do you do the things that you do
With all the grief and turmoil you enjoy putting me through,
Why do you always enjoy throwing these temptations up at me
Why do you like to see me, screaming in pain and also in agony.
...
