Randy McClave Poems

The United States has become a country for the chosen
Now with greed and hatred and lies our flag has been rewoven,
The red and the white and the blue doesn't mean as it had once before
Now upon many proud Americans, the United States is now calling war.

I watched him as he reached out for food,
Everyone saw a lazy, drug using, drunk, scummy bum
I instead saw someone's son.

Are there because of what you can give,
At first you see them as beautiful gems
Then later you see them as takers and combative.

A name that everyone would like and know
Which would help her business grow.

Where getting an education is the only and main rule,
Where soon they will be walking a scholars path
Starting an education with learning history, literature and math.

As people around and about us were hungry and feeling grim.

Or soon this fact we will all regret,
We have some children being raised to become racists and bigots
Soon insults and prejudices will flow through them like running spigots.
...

God never told you to sin
That was your own choice,
You never once said an "Amen"
You always listened to the wrong voice.
...

If Adam could only see woman now
And see how they all became,
And the things and acts that they happily allow
While seeking pity and not knowing of any shame.
