Randy McClave Poems

There you are my little moth
With wings fluttering like white tattered cloth,
Whenever I flip on my porch light
You appear, from the darkness of the night.
...

I told her how a man was refused service
Because of the color or his skin.
And how a woman was mocked and laughed at
Because in love with another woman she had been.
...

I was given a hammer, so I built a house
For my beautiful wife, daughter and I,
They bring wonder and joy to both the soul and eye,
I can now use a needle and thread to repair a blouse.
...

I thought that my soul was finally freed
But, then I was told to heed,
To the words of a very sweet Lassie
Who I thought at first was quite sassy.
...

I sit on a bench and I look out on the park
Where the world seems to lazily pass me by,
The grass is green, the trees are brown, and blue is the sky,
Nature had left her miraculous mark.
...

What will be the death of me
Since I am now single, retired and free,
I am my own caretaker, my very own boss
Only I have to worry about my own win or loss;
...

I will not give Marty the boot
Nor him will I harass or shoot,
If in any political office I want no person to stay
My vote will speak it loudly, on Election Day.
...

If I do not like their stand
I will hold a demonstration sign in my hand,
Then with others I will proudly parade
My thoughts and my beliefs must be weighed.
...

I have a gun so I have the power
I can kill anyone in any second or in any hour,
And if anyone dare think that they can ever stop me;
They can't, not in this country.
...

We beat the British and the Germans and the Japanese
And other great powers we brought them down to their knees,
Now many Americans want a wall, or need to carry a gun
They forgot the pride and the honor that their fathers had won.
...
