Ray Lucero Poems

Long ago a prophet appeared,
A Piute Medicine Chief known as Wovoka.
...

One day I encountered;

A single daisy with snowy
White petals splayed proudly
...

I write for no one else save me
Helps unload a crowded mind
My poems do pacify antipathy
Yet, be forthright they remind
...

CIA broke out the hair dryer
To thaw out poor old Osama
Obama couldn’t find a buyer
To buy into the staged drama
...

Thou art not my possession
Freedom is thine God-Given right
But do not spurn mine admiration
Lest my yearning heart take flight
...

The circus is being run by crooks n’ clowns
The Ringmaster is left to muck the stables
Disgruntled rubes demand their money back
Just before Jesus overturns the money tables
...

A once great Nation is being destroyed by design
In front of trusting eyes of unsuspecting masses
Won't be long before thought is deemed a crime
'Lest "We the people" remove rose-colored glasses
...

'Tis not for us to question
why our hearts feel this way
We must set aside all doubt
And trust true loves at play
...

Homesick for a place he's never been;
Hungry for a meal, never eaten
Longs for a lover, never forgotten,
Whilst dying in a life he never lived
...

Written words are powerful
Able to influence and elicit change

More powerful yet are spoken words
...
