Ray Lucero Poems

A childhood friend named Emma Squeekmire
Was a mean little girl who liked playing with fire
One day Emma set our Grade School ablaze
With gasoline, a match and a jar of mayonnaise
...

Your children are not your children;

They are the sons and daughters life
longing for itself
...

Time moves on, best take a chance,
To reach for true love without delay
For affection, intimacy n' romance,
The longing in my heart I must obey
...

Much can be said about Nancy's birds;

One thing is for sure birds love to visit her cottage by the sea,
Because they know they are invited, welcomed guests,
...

Bankers’ scheme and do exploit;
And profit from a failed economy
First city to fall, Michigan’s Detroit
Broken/stripped of its autonomy
...

Monsanto perpetrating stealth genocide;
By splicing genes of animals, insects n' plants
They've pushed 'Mother Nature' far aside
Imagine eating corn crossed with fish or ants
...

The old warrior addressed Congress one last time
He spoke of truth, justice n' liberty for everyone
Proposed we put an end to "White color crime"
Whilst fellow congressmen sniggered n' made fun
...

East brings life
West brings death
North bestows wisdom
South promises innocence
...

In this great world of God's Creation
Souls stand abreast awaiting activation

Sublimely crafted this human form
...

Static-air, forebodes a coming storm
American troops march to global war
Nearly one in ten shall wear a uniform
Raindrops prepare a deadly downpour
...
