The Social Justice Cause

July 23, 2023April 25, 2024 ElRoyPoet

There’s a reason why we have conflicts; if it weren’t for the evil in the hearts of men. There’s a reason why we have protests; if it weren’t for the tyranny of institutional racism. There’s a reason for the women’s … Continue reading The Social Justice Cause

Where Do We Go From Here

July 16, 2023October 20, 2025 ElRoyPoet

In the Garden of Eden, where secrets lay,Adam and Eve danced, in innocence played.God’s voice echoed a solemn decreed:“The fruit of one tree, you shall not eat”. A serpent slithered, the sly devil beguiled,Temptation whispered, deceit wore a smile.Eve’s curious … Continue reading Where Do We Go From Here

Why We Gravitate To Authoritarianism

July 15, 2023September 23, 2024 ElRoyPoet

Our liberal democracy we revere,with rules from the majority.All the citizens are sovereign,with rights and authority. In contrast to an autocracy,elites in power, hiding their flawsand oppressing the minorities,with unfair and unequal laws. The nationalists follow him around,in blind obedience,believing … Continue reading Why We Gravitate To Authoritarianism

Making It A Fair Fight

July 7, 2023September 23, 2024 ElRoyPoet

Let’s sit down, and have a quiet conversation,Talk about our future, and find a sound solution.We don’t need to be enemies, we can be friends,If we listen to each other, and make amends. Let’s stop this cycle, of contempt and … Continue reading Making It A Fair Fight

July 2, 2023April 25, 2025 ElRoyPoet

No more “I love you’s”,the affection was nothing more than a hollow display. No more “I love you’s”,I can’t be forced to love anybody—that way. No more “I love you’s”,the truth is: I was never really meant to stay. No … Continue reading No More “I Love You’s”

I’m terrified to travel

June 20, 2023October 29, 2024 ElRoyPoet

I’m afraid to lose myself in unfamiliar places,to be another one, of those desolate faces. I’m scared of getting lost, of being isolated,and disconnected from those I love. I’m anxious about the unknown, the uncertain,and the journey’s unexpected twists and … Continue reading I’m terrified to travel

June 1, 2023August 22, 2025 ElRoyPoet

The truth of the matter is thatnew life always supersedes old life. But if the old life doesn’t breath lifeinto the new life, it won’t survive. So the new life’s authoritarianshould force the old life to embrace it. Even if … Continue reading Be a good girl (and do as you’re told)

Divided Kingdom

May 20, 2023July 22, 2025 ElRoyPoet

Just because I do, what I want to do,it doesn’t mean—I’m always competentin everything I do. If you want to be with me,you’ll have to decide now,if your confidence in me is true? I want somebody to love,but I won’t … Continue reading Divided Kingdom

Conscientious Objector

May 5, 2023May 17, 2023 ElRoyPoet

PTSD I hate war,because I internalize it. So how can a part of mebe righteous,and another part be wicked? I was born to honor life,so why mustI injure the spirit of another? For there is no victory—when my bleeding heartremains … Continue reading Conscientious Objector

Don’t Be A Sucker!

April 14, 2023April 22, 2023 ElRoyPoet

If you promote nationalism,It grows.If you accept nationalism,It grows.If you ignore nationalism,It grows;And ultra-nationalism wins. If you promote democracy,It grows.If you accept democracy,It grows.If you ignore democracy,It dies;And republican fear mongering wins, again! Do you want to try,One last time?If … Continue reading Don’t Be A Sucker!

Virtue Signal

April 10, 2023October 9, 2023 ElRoyPoet

Corruption is greed;temptation is free. And I can’t resist it,it appeals to me. But I have to say white lies,to cover my sin. And resort to virtue signalling,if I care to win. Publicans can’t resist bribery,when it’s offered for free! … Continue reading Virtue Signal
