I Reflect You

What Is Driving You

November 6, 2021February 16, 2023 ElRoyPoet

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

Baseball Dad

October 23, 2021November 1, 2021 ElRoyPoet

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

Moral Grandstanding

October 21, 2021April 10, 2023 ElRoyPoet

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

Democracy Poems

October 7, 2021December 24, 2023 ElRoyPoet

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

The Fireman

September 28, 2021October 11, 2023 ElRoyPoet

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

From Aspirin To Acid Trip

September 28, 2021August 20, 2025 ElRoyPoet

The first time I had a headache,I didn’t want to be botheredwith finding out, why I had it,so I took an aspirin. The second time I got a headache,instead of trying to discoverwhy I was still experiencing migraines,I became annoyed,and … Continue reading From Aspirin To Acid Trip

Afghanistan

September 6, 2021March 1, 2025 ElRoyPoet

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

It Could Have Been

September 2, 2021September 3, 2021 ElRoyPoet

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

Poems Of Grief

August 25, 2021January 28, 2022 ElRoyPoet

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

Lamentation

August 17, 2021August 28, 2021 ElRoyPoet

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

Down With The South

August 13, 2021October 23, 2023 ElRoyPoet

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

Some Fools Never Learn

August 1, 2021October 6, 2022 ElRoyPoet

Trump didn’t don a mask,when the doctors ordered him to. A narcissist is afraid to show weakness—he’s a con—he doesn’t care about public safety,why should he care about you? His patriots were obliged to defend him,so they didn’t don a … Continue reading Some Fools Never Learn
