A part of me died—When my son’s time expired. And now that barren groundis sprouting: weeds of cynicism. Where there was once hope,peace flowers and laughter,Now there’s fear and remorse! I grieved when democracy died.They carried my freeman—away in a … Continue reading Afghanistan
What hurts the most,is that I should’ve done something.I could’ve tried to change the world,instead of wasting away—a life of liberty— given freely to me. I was carefree then.Everything was so easy then.As the world spun around and around,I didn’t … Continue reading It Could Have Been
It hurts a lot worst,to lose a child than any other….It’s like going on a scenic drive,enjoying the view,looking up, at the rear-view mirror—CRASH—getting rear-ended. When a son dies,the surviving parent feels—like the biggest loser in the world,because they couldn’t … Continue reading Poems Of Grief
I am your guardian angel,hoping that you don’t err,but knowing that you will; watching your every move;hoping you don’t die,but knowing that you will. I’m praying for you,hoping you don’t cry,but knowing that I will. By: ElRoyPoet © 2021 Listen … Continue reading Lamentation

Jesus said:“Love your neighbor as yourself”. But how can He—expect me—to be friendly,with people I don’t even know. I have lots of blessings,and they don’t have that much.I’m afraid, they’ll try to take,what I’ve worked so hard to get. So … Continue reading Standoffish
When evangelicalsfinally see—that they’re being racist; That they’ve beenfooling themselves,and their congregation; Right then and there,they come to the realization,that they’re—in need of A Savior; Right then and there,the shacles of slavery,will fall off from their eyes. For Jesus didn’t … Continue reading Free At Last
When love doesn’t expand,the heart shrinks. When love isn’t shared,the heart constricts. And when the heart stops beating,love dies. Why?
