Every year many humans needlessly die.Some are females, but most are males.Some are prideful, some are stubborn,but most have road-rage. Why do they struggle,why do they have to argue,why can’t they just go with the flow? When they were young,were … Continue reading What Is Driving You
When you were young,I was too ambitious.I wanted to be a husband, a dad and a pro. Back then—it was hard—for you to be you,and even harder for me to be,the home run hitter, I was supposed to be. So … Continue reading Baseball Dad
Don’t be hugging and kissing me,if you don’t mean it. If you keep trying to convince me,I’m going to start believing,that you really do. Don’t be offering me your pity,just because you’re feeling sorry for humanity.Let me be, let me … Continue reading Moral Grandstanding
Our Republic is like,A beautiful garden.Our Constitution,The fence that surrounds it.Our Democracy,The gardener who cultivates to it. People from all over the country,Are welcome to come and admire it.But I won’t allow extremism,To sow the seeds of doubt in it.Because … Continue reading Democracy Poems
Sitting inside my house,I’m feeling safe in my sanctuary.These wooden walls will protect me,from the evil that lurks outside my door.Come rain or hail storm, I will survive. But it just doesn’t make sense anymore,if—when I look at the television,I … Continue reading The Fireman

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.

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
What difference does it make,if we protest, riot and loot?The governors didn’t care about us then,now they’ll care even less. What difference does it make,if we burn down their ivory towers?Weren’t they erected—just to remind us—how rich they’ve become,and how … Continue reading Down With The South
