Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

We the people, the majority, must speak up if we want to save our country. The forces in play want to change almost everthing we hold dear. It seems, that now, money is the be all to end all. That's the way it appears to me. Some of my friends have already left the country due to the changes we have already seen, and others are considering it. The one's who hate it, should leave it; not the ones who love it.

Shame on us, the majority, for not caring and not participating. We need to stop the separation, start cooperation, and come together. It should not take hurricanes and mass shootings to encourage us to care for each other.

I'M Tired of All the Bs

I'm Tired of All the BS
By Franklin Price
10/9/2017

I'm tired of all the BS
That's going on today
The getting rid of all tradition
That got us to this day

The holidays and history
That made us who we are
I'm not a drunk by any means
But this may send me to the bar

Columbus Day which is today
Some are trying now to change
Indiginous Day they're striving for
Another day to rearrange

Christmas is now Xmas
And it's a Happy Holiday
No longer Merry Christmas
Not a thing that you should say

Can  no longer say a prayer in school
Or pledge allegiance to the flag
The squeaky wheel gets so much grease
Sometimes it makes me gag

Everything must be okayed
Down to the smallest  group
What happened to majority?
Where are we in the loop?

I don't believe in predjudice
That's a thing for only fools
Minorities should have  respect
Majority sets the rules

I could go on forever
Or at least for quite awhile
But it only makes me grimace
 I would rather have a smile

If the majority is silent,
Does not participate in fate,
Don't complain when freedom's gone
By then, it's way too late
