Moral Grandstanding
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
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
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
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
Fascism: A Reference Book
“What remained was the individual person, the human being—and nothing else. Everything had fallen away from him during those years: money, power, fame; nothing was certain for him anymore: not life, not health, not happiness; all had been called into … Continue reading Fascism: A Reference Book
Afghanistan
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
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
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
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
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
Fellow Travelers
If you are traveling in the same direction as the devil—you are in collusion with him—because you both have the same destination in mind. It does not matter, if you have an alternate point of view, in the end it … Continue reading Fellow Travelers
Some Fools Never Learn
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
