Ray William Roldan Poems

I once saw a flower
alive with the sun,
then heard a girl say
it's the only one!
...

Now there I was
standin' in the hall,
from another perspective
a fly on the wall!
...

I lie on the floor
till long nights end,
my eye on the door
as I wait for my friend!
...

Mom got a letter from the government yesterday,
it seems my only big sister gave her life for God and Country
in a land faraway!
...

It ended with a rose covered cross
on the side of a lonesome road,
A family grieves a daughter lost
their hearts left quiet and cold!
...

Drift away young brother of mind
and cast away those ties,
there's a storm ahead of another kind
and it may be fraught with lies!
...

Plastic people in plastic lands
drink plastic beer from plastic cans,
Their plastic memories can never embrace
the plastic endeavors they attempt to trace!
...

There's nothing so surreal
as the sound of freedoms cries,
of constraints forged like steel
though it's bonds were naught but lie's!
...
