Second Amendment
Pass him the rifle
Pass him the bullets
Pass him the bible
Pass him the Constitution
It’s for his survival
You wouldn’t understand, you are only a woman
Hand him the AK
Hand him your life
Hand him your fate
Hand him his rights
It’s for his ego
You wouldn’t understand, it’s for a man’s pride
He is a Christian, he was once a cadet
He

SECOND AMENDMENT
SECOND AMENDMENT
There once was a guy known as Abe Lincoln
As President he had done much thinkin’
But his choice of a play
Was a bad one that day
As in his balcony seat was sinkin’
Then another named John F Kennedy
Shot in Dallas, it was a tragedy
The assassination
Caused much speculation
For which the world was not truly ready
At a recent

First Amendment Anthem
Freedom's song, first amendment's grace,
A symphony of rights we all embrace.
Speech unchained, beliefs untamed,
Press unburdened, grievances proclaimed.
In liberty's embrace, democracy inflames.

The Slavery Loop Hole In the United States Constitution
In the annals of time, a tale untold,
Resides the slavery loop hole, bold.
Within the Constitution, revered and strong,
Lurks a dark verse, where justice went wrong.
Enslavement's grip, it sought to uphold,
A contradiction, a story yet untold.
A clause concealed, with chilling grace,
Deemed humans as chattel, a disgrace.
Through ink-stained words, a nation was bound,
Yet shackles of oppression knew

Decapitated
The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.
This is the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
Good guys with guns waited an hour.
19 students and 2 teachers were murdered.
The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.
We need AR-15 rifles to kill prairie dogs.
We need AR-15 rifles because they are semi-automatic.

A Big Tech View On the First Amendment
If to our views, you don't align;
You'll forfeit your right to post and opine.
When with your ideas, we do agree;
We grant you the right to speak free.
Should your thinking be different we find,
You must shut up till you get back in line.

If You Don'T Support Gun Rights
If you don’t support gun rights,
there’s something wrong with you,
if you don’t support gun rights,
you’re evil through and through,
if you don’t support gun rights,
then you can go get screwed,
if you don’t support gun rights,
there’s something wrong with you.
John lived in the country
where work was hard to find,
how to earn a paycheck
was always on his mind.
He

Amendment To the Amendment
Amendment to the Amendment
The right to bear arm's
The moment you pick up or
decide to purchase or own
a gun
In so doing you became a killer
Because bullets and guns don't kill
The people who buy them
and own them do
It's a choice without defense

Fist Fight
I believe in the right place
and the right time.
If one has fighting in mind.
I'm not talking about people
who join (the fight,)
those who stand up for a cause.
People fight for a number of reasons.
Two people don't agree on something.
Ignorance, anger and lack of patience.
People let their anger
get the better of them.
Really angry people

First Amendment In Jeopardy
Lifeblood of democracy hemorrhaging
ousting the "FAKE" president only recourse
to staunch impending grim demise,
since forefathers drafted
United States Constitution

hoi polloi must take to the streets
denouncing severe curtailment
impinging sacred freedom of speech
linkedin with paramount bedrock provision
accessing unvarnished flint stoned "truth,"
nonetheless commander in chief
he quakingly, staunchly, vociferously...
excoriates, lacerates, repudiates...
one damning hermetically sealed,
iniquitous airtight, vacuum packed

The Twenty-Fifth Amendment
The Twenty-fifth Amendment
By Franklin Price
9/7/2018
The twenty-fifth amendment
Has the donkeys on a roll
Impeachment is too difficult
The work would take its toll
The twenty-fifth much faster
It appears that it is so
Can do it with the cabinet
If they think that Trump must go
The New York times has published
An insider's discontent
It's rumored now, they're all unhappy
The twenty-fifth can see
