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

A Line In The Sand

September 5, 2020February 14, 2021 ElRoyPoet

Even though, I try and try to change your heart, Your patriot tendencies don’t depart. You’ve already drawn a line in the sand, Now it’s up to me, to draw a survival plan. You will attack and I will defend: … Continue reading A Line In The Sand

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

Patriot Games

July 29, 2020July 1, 2024 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

I Need Reparations

July 27, 2020July 3, 2023 ElRoyPoet

I default to living in the past, That way I don’t have to deal with my reality. I’m constantly hashing up your old sins— Those are my excuses! And when I’m feeling over-confident, I travel to the future— Of how … Continue reading I Need Reparations

There were two men standing in a field. One believed in Jesus,Alas, the other did not. One loved his brother,Alas, the other did not. One died and went to Heaven,Alas, the other did not. By: ElRoyPoet © 2018 Commentary: In … Continue reading Alas

Lynchpin

June 20, 2020November 14, 2021 ElRoyPoet

Why isn’t there a law against lynching?Every time men with guns get triggered,The brute comes out, and he wants to get even,So he cheats, to teach the object of his hate a lesson.Could it be, his manhood’s in jeopardy,Because he … Continue reading Lynchpin
