Lucian Poems | Examples


Make America Grate Again

Don’t care whom it ravages:
this land was always Thine.
Circle wagons, shoot all savages,
and things are (once more) fine.
The Swaggarts, Bakkers and Miscaviges
will soon be judenrein.

For far too long we’ve been contrite.
The best of cleaners scours.
We’re gonna give them fight or flight
(for far too long, they’ve gotten flowers).
There’s nothing wrong with being white:
or claiming what is ours.

Remember when Strom Thurman ruled?
A time when men were men.
For decades we’ve been wrongly schooled:
the sword subdues the pen.
Though King and Evers had us fooled,
we don’t get fooled again.

America was always mean,
until we lost our way.
The atom bomb, the mud marine –
Pacific equals prey.
You’re eighteen? With an A-15
you’ll always get your way.

We don’t need Confucian.
We’ve got Roger Stone.
Disregard the Constitution –
we’ll do this on our own.
Clear Catullus? Lucid Lucian?
Our wisdom is home-grown.

We bow, but only to our owners:
faceless, taxless, they:
they’re so rich, they give us boners:
they never leave LA:
we worship them. They’re known as donors:
we gave the store away.

I Am Not a Whore

I am not my grammar

My English may be poor

But I am a straight talker, woman of my word

My speech conveys much meaning and wisdom

I do not mispronounce words, I put a St Lucian twist on them

I like to drink, dance and smoke

I love men but I am not a whore

Not your whore

Your woman friend perhaps

But I am no scarlet woman

I am not my grammar or lack thereof

English is a medium of communication

And I have no problems getting my message across

I have no shame coz my grand-parents raised me with dignity

I work hard and pay my way through life

I like to look good and take care of myself

But I am not my hair, my nails, my perfume

My grammar

And I am certainly not a whore

(not your whore)

There is more to me than meets the eye
 I am not a whore

My Daddy's Shoes

Unlike the shoes on most men's feet 
My daddy's shoes were not so neat 

Though myself and sisters dear 
Wore good shoes we need not fear 

And mother's shoes on tiny feet, 
Unlike my father's were always neat 

My daddy's shoes were like a book, 
Telling the story of the steps he took 

From hill to hill and row to row, 
Another chapter each time he'd go 

Just like his life his shoes did show 
The way he lived and made things grow 

Always dirty and torn and tattered 
A hand me down all worn and battered 

He lived his life helping strangers and neighbors 
His shoes a witness to his labors 

And by his shoes his works be told 
A long white robe and shoes of gold

In Memory Of 
Lucian Franklin Adams 
A Man Of Greatness And Honor, 
May We All Be Richer In Heart And Spirit, 
Because He Walked Thru Our Lives,


Written the night my father died
Daddy I misss you!!
