Randy McClave Poems

Lisa was mad and very livid
Her actions and motives were very vivid,
She was so angry that she wanted to beat some ass
And she didn't care if it was that of a lad or a lass.
...

She came unto me like a dream,
Floating on cushions of air,
In my heart I waited in joy and anticipation
But when I looked again, she wasn't there.
...

The young man boasted with his rifle and his gun
American he was and he was entitled to them for protection and fun,
And he had enough bullets for both of them
As he pledged his allegiance and sang the national anthem.
...

Listen; to my breath
Hear it as it stutters
Observe it, as it shutters
Then listen, for my death.
...

I pledge my honor to this land
As I place over my heart, my right hand,
And I swear my oath to GOD and then to man
Whatever I can do for freedom, I will and I can.
...

To all my friends which have come and gone
I would like to tell them all so long, so long
Someday though we will meet once again
But, of that day and time, only GOD knows when,
...

There is a corruption around our cities and our states
Where greed and power and privileges alone dictates,
The government wants to own us and then take control
The police wants to be our vengeance, and judges want to be our soul.
...

Up in heaven where you rule and dwell
Where only your judgement will ever prevail,
Do you still watch your children as we fight and fuss
I wonder if you do, if you're tired of each and everyone of us;
...

I remember back to my younger age
When I didn't care where I worked, or my wage,
I called girls on the phone or I would send them a letter
But, meeting and talking to them in person, was so much better;
...

Do I own my home or even my car?
I wonder what in this world what I truly own so far;
I know that if I don't pay the government a lucrative tax
They will take away all that I own, so how can I ever relax.
...
