Ray Lucero Poems

It’s clear, Bush cadre position
Detaining prisoners without trial
Re instituted Spanish Inquisition
With malice Muslim’s faith defile
...

(Prayer)

I am a Divine Act of God;
Here, now and forever
...

On Oregon coast down “101” way
Where the sea meets old lava flow
Lay a hamlet known as Depoe Bay
Where seawater geysers do blow

Over beaches glide
On breakers, seals slide
Wily crabs, in coral hide
...

Spawned by intellectual left brain
Some thoughts are based in magic
When right brain bids soul explain

In full length gown with veil of lace
With nobility, grace, grand authority
Gives sweet kiss ‘n warm embrace
...

They watched “Almighty Dollar” depreciate
After Gold/Silver Standard went up in vapor
A once great Nation became second-rate
After greedy few traded paper for paper
...

“Home of the brave, Land of the free”
Truth be told, U.S.A. is an Autocracy
A POV world neighbors clearly see
