America’s Cold Civil War

November 22, 2022April 22, 2023 ElRoyPoet

Complicit Why do we keep having culture wars?Why do bullies keep getting away with it,and why do patriots remain neutral? So why do we keep accommodating zealots,if the devil takes no prisoners?Haven’t we learned already—to not be defending cowards and … Continue reading America’s Cold Civil War

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

Down With The South

August 13, 2021April 21, 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

Free At Last

July 7, 2021December 12, 2021 ElRoyPoet

When evangelicalsfinally see—that they’re being racist; That they’ve beenfooling themselves,and their congregation; Right then and there,they come to the realization,that they’re—in need of A Savior; Right then and there,the shacles of slavery,will fall off from their eyes. For Jesus didn’t … Continue reading Free At Last

Anti-Racist

March 11, 2021April 19, 2023 ElRoyPoet

If a white supremacist pushes a black man into the river,And he’s drowning, because he doesn’t know how to float,And if the other black men standing on the bank,Don’t know how to swim either,Who’s going to rescue him? Only if … Continue reading Anti-Racist

Civil Rights Training

August 30, 2020November 29, 2021 ElRoyPoet

It’s not about,If you’re white, red or brown.It’s about what is right and what is wrong.What gives an affluent society,The right to sacrifice an innocent man,So that it can soothe, its collective anxiety?What gives them the privilege,To invade a freeman’s … Continue reading Civil Rights Training

Patriot Games

July 29, 2020April 15, 2023 ElRoyPoet

If you promote racism,It grows.If you accept racism,It grows.If you neglect racism,It grows;And republican hate mongering will win. If you promote respect,It grows.If you accept respect,It grows.If you neglect respect,It dies;And racism wins, again! Do you want to play,One last … Continue reading Patriot Games

History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, It Rhymes

June 7, 2020December 15, 2022 ElRoyPoet

You would hope that history teaches,But I’m afraid it merely preaches:That upon the simple ears it reaches,Would recall—to not repeat—The injustices—it admonishes. By: ElRoyPoet © 2020 Listen to Electric Avenue Song by: Eddie Grant “The only thing that we learn … Continue reading History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, It Rhymes
