Randy McClave Poems

A cat might growl and think it is a dog
Then it might bark at people that are walking by,
A sparrow may believe that it is an eagle
While it is sailing up high above the earth in the sky,
...

Where are you going today my love?
Where are you going my love?
Are you once again thinking of going astray,
Are you going out again to betray.
...

Inside my head my ex-wife resides,
Where she nags and hurts me and then she hides,
And there she has been living all rent free,
She is my tormentor and also my worst memory.
...

If I were a weak man,
I think I would have been a drinker,
I would have no worries of my own,
And I wouldn't have to be a thinker.
...

To GOD we thank him for giving us peace,
The mothers and the fathers pray it will never cease,
To enter any war I hope it not to happen ever again,
Where we lose our children and our young women and men.
...

The mountains they are our neighbors,
The creeks and rivers they are our labors,
We hunt with a bow and sometimes with a gun,
That is how we were raised, being a Kentuckian.
...

I once used a stick as my sword,
And the gun I used it was my finger,
Those memories in my mind they still linger,
In my youth, when I played war.
...

Why do you hate me, why do you hate the poor,
Do you wish for me to die, and then fall upon the floor.
...

A man, with heart so rare,
GOD will listen to his prayer,
So special a man with his heart,
GOD hates to lose it, when man does depart.
...

I gazed upon it in both splendor and awe,
Knowing that GOD didn't create what I just saw,
The beauty was created by either a woman or a man,
It proved what GOD didn't create; a woman or a man can.
...
