Ray Lucero Poems

Burn away thy harmful ego
Ignite thine chains of pride
Yes, calcinate shame also
Hence, ye shall be beautified
...

Both hearts knew, yet refused acclamation
Doubtful minds errantly rushing to accept
That true love unfulfill, by long separation
Alas…
...

All decked out on 'Easter Sunday'
She's 'Pretty in pink' it would be said
Back to blouse n' jeans come Monday
Then cleaning house n' baking bread
...

Brave young soldiers give legs and arms
To roadside bombs, with no end in sight
While Uncle Sam asks for re-up refunds
Send collectors to VA to give them fright
...

Many addicted to chronic illness
Know not root, of why this is so
Disease is born of repressed emotion
Infects well-being, interrupts the flow
...

Chaotic planet goes up in smoke
As those in power count their cash
Bush's minions’ shovel more coke
When fires quell leave soot ‘n ash
...

Life ruled by four Cardinal directions
As well as half-directions in between
Together form human amalgamation
Through Higher Self this can be seen
...

Sensitive, intelligent, wise
Strives to balance scales
For truth he doth agonize
Knows that peace prevails
...

You fool no one but yourself
Earth nears certain demise
Takes steps to heal Her Self
Humans Beings shall agonize
...

Spring wind in the morning
Spreads its fresh fragrance
That wind allows all to live
'Breathe'…before it’s gone
...
