Super Heroes

January 21, 2021January 23, 2021 ElRoyPoet

I’m not faster than a speeding bullet. I’m not able to leap over a tall building. I’m not more powerful than a train. But, I’m still a Super Hero, Because, I possess a Super Power: “I’m capable of loving somebody”. … Continue reading Super Heroes

Polarization

December 6, 2020July 25, 2024 ElRoyPoet

My brother has a closed mind,Because he has drawn a perimeter around him. My friend has a caged mind,Because counter culture has fenced her in. These barriers keep both sides dishonest,Because they were erected to keep us divided. By: ElRoy … Continue reading Polarization

Their Lives Mattered Too

November 1, 2020May 12, 2023 ElRoyPoet

It’s easier to find differences, If you’re looking for them. But it’s hard to find similarities, If your heart has contempt for them. So, let’s try harder to find— What unites us, Instead of what divides us. Let’s learn from … Continue reading Their Lives Mattered Too

Law And Order

October 22, 2020December 7, 2021 ElRoyPoet

Why is there hate in the world? If I have contempt for you—When I see the fear in your eyes—How can my mind withstand an assault,From two irrational beings? Can man’s law stop the anger in my heart,Can man’s law … Continue reading Law And Order

Liberty For All

October 17, 2020December 25, 2020 ElRoyPoet

I am free, you are free! Our creator made us, that way to be. But there are those, Who we’ve given power to govern, Who believe—they’re better than we. They will lie and cheat, To take that freedom away from … Continue reading Liberty For All

Woke America

September 10, 2020December 5, 2022 ElRoyPoet

Just because I live in the suburbs,It doesn’t mean—I will disparage the inner-city. Just because I am college educated,It doesn’t mean—I am superior to my brothers. Just because I have a high end career,It doesn’t mean—I will shame the underemployed. … Continue reading Woke America

Cancel Culture

August 31, 2020December 5, 2022 ElRoyPoet

To the left you have compelled speech—The woke generation with their cancel culture. To the right you have censorship—Fake news coverage from the state press secretary. Freedom of expression à la carte,Take your pick, oh by the way,When you get … Continue reading Cancel Culture

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

Racism Poems

August 12, 2020April 13, 2023 ElRoyPoet

Racism isn’t a problem for me,Is it for you? So, if it’s not an issue to you,Then how did you become—Such an expert on it? Don’t be knocking it,If you ain’t willing to try it! Is It Privilege Or Bigotry … Continue reading Racism Poems
