Randy McClave Poems

Owning a gun doesn't make you brave
Unto cowardliness it makes you it's slave,
It doesn't make you a man by giving you balls
You'll never see a heroic statue of you in any great halls.
...

I don't spread gossip or lies or ever an insult,
If not a proven fact then I know that it's just a lie
A peace of factual knowing no one can contradict or deny,
So, I believe in the truth, because I'm an adult.
...

The only time that you call
It is when you have taken a great fall,
And whenever you want us to be a we
It's only when that you need me.
...

I will not be repetitive
But, every woman was born a detective,
From the first time that she put on her shoes
She was then out searching for clues.
...

Not one child has ever died from reading a book
A child's life it has never took,
They were created to open the imagination and the mind
And new wonders and excitement for the child to find.
...

Whenever he was trying on a pair of new shoes
Or whenever he fail and got a bruise,
And when he was in the pool every time for a swim
His mother was always there watching him.
...

Never wish them pain
Never have that thought lying on your brain,
And never be part of a bad memoir
Because, that is not who you are.
...

If I did a favor for you
I would not expect one in return,
If I did I'd be waiting until I was old and blue
That one true fact about you I did learn.
...

Mom, what picture are you going to use of me
When they come to my school and they don't listen to my plea,
What picture do you think that you will want to use
When from my tiny body a murderer will set my soul loose.
...

I gave it a chance to leave
I open my front door with a heave,
Then I shouted staying in my house you couldn't
But, leaving my house it wouldn't.
...
