Randy McClave Poems

I will not ever lie for you
My parents taught me not to,
Nor should you ever be cheered or praised
That is not how I was raised.
...

There was a man whose name was Jobe,
Who walked the wilderness in his robe.

I said unto Jobe rest from your sorrow,
...

Once the world was perfect
Everywhere there was serenity and peace,
Then Adam and Eve messed it all up
Now, it's trouble and fighting won't cease.
...

He's 40 years old
He's not a youngster many times he's been told,
Though he can still do this, or do that
Run the football, or to hit a ball with the bat,
...

When my mind is heavy and full of despair
About my neck he is still there,
Part of his soul, I will always proudly wear
And he's always a part of my every prayer.
...

As we salute the red, white and blue
We thank our veterans so proud and true,
To which from their service we do rely
As they gave us this glorious, Fourth of July.
...

Concentration camps never did exist
Screamed the German citizens as they pounded their fist,
Never in one has a Jew ever been tortured, or did die
Those are all but stories and rumors, nothing more than a lie.
...

I chased and I chased, but she was faster
She made me a complete disaster,
I thought for sure that we were a match
But, the harder I tried, she I could never catch.
...

Why do I carry a gun
It is because I'm afraid of everyone,
And because I do not know how to fight
And because it's my constitutional right.
...

I am always a Christian first
I am then a proud father second,
I am a patriotic American third
And fourth I am a poet, I reckoned.
...
