January 24, 2024May 14, 2024 ElRoyPoet

When facing propaganda, be wary and wise,schemes that profit, state actors will disguise.Modern charlatans, manipulating with skill,using fake media, false equivalences will instill. Our emotional instincts, no match for their deceit,repeating blatant lies, brings societal defeat.Your money and dignity, both … Continue reading How Fear Mongering and Fake Promises influence Voters

Getting Pleasure from Others’ Pain

November 28, 2023January 15, 2024 ElRoyPoet

In the depths of my passion’s flame,Rage spreads its wings—looking for blame. Lost in the tempest of my burning desire,Igniting hate and fanning the fire. But why do I still believe,That justice resides in my own pain’s reprieve? For virtue’s … Continue reading Getting Pleasure from Others’ Pain

October 25, 2023October 10, 2025 ElRoyPoet

Peace in the Middle East

October 20, 2023August 28, 2024 ElRoyPoet

To the patriotic mother who teaches her child to hate:so why do you have babies,if you only poison their minds with death?And that will be the rocket,hovering over your son’s head. Cain why do you hate Abel?Is it because Allah—God … Continue reading Peace in the Middle East

Homelessness: Injustice in Plain Sight

October 9, 2023July 1, 2025 ElRoyPoet

Every day, I drive down the street in my truck.I see the homeless people standing on the sidewalk;Beggars holding up a sign, asking for a buck. In the summertime:I enjoy the air-conditioning,As they sweat in the heat of the sun. … Continue reading Homelessness: Injustice in Plain Sight

I Reflect You

Every day is a winding road

July 23, 2023October 3, 2023 ElRoyPoet

I was born a charming man-child,mama adored me, I made her smile,she defended and sheltered me,I was innocent and living free,those were the days of our lives. Every day is a winding road,every day is a fading dream.I don’t know … Continue reading Every day is a winding road

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

December 14, 2022December 17, 2022 ElRoyPoet

If I practice random acts of kindness,am I unkind, most of the time? Yes, but who can judge me, If my mind can’t understand,why it weighs heavy on my heart? Spanish Translation ¿Si practico actos aleatorios de amabilidad,Soy cruel la … Continue reading The Burden Of The Christian

The American Dream: I’m All In

November 25, 2022December 27, 2023 ElRoyPoet

I played all my cards.I took a chance.Let the wheel spin—where it ends—will be my fortune. If I win, I’ll play again.If I lose,whatever happens to me—will be my fault.No one else is to blame. I went for broke;the joke’s … Continue reading The American Dream: I’m All In
