Best Amendment Poems


A Cheese Amendment

The cheese board met with Mr. Insane.
As a block they want cheese to remain.
So Mr. President’s heading,
to ban packaged shredding,
to make America grate once again.

Premium Member Muted

Speak stronger and louder with outrage assert
Right, Left or inane, it keeps us alert
Our First Amendment rights
Can be shorn overnight
When the Man shouts “quiet and you won’t get hurt!”

The 13th Amendment

Footsteps heard from afar 
Caught in the glimpse of 
Strange shadows on walls,
the unknowable visor of 	
approaching men in uniform, 
wedged in the unbroken frames 
of those shadows;
Carrying their guns and arms,
They throw a basket of broken
Legs lost in the war, a dump yard
Of human remains

And there through the window
Struck by the very first sight
Are those pair of peeping eyes
That seek answers for all that is
Left and is yet to come,
They speak of all the pain
Felt in the anguish of the bygones,
A struggle to fight for
All that is fair and just, 
To level the men of his ‘breed’
One amongst many born unequal
They see affected patterns of color,
The raunchy division of scattered
Privileges 

In moments of solitariness, they
Look ahead into the future with a
Vision so pure; 
a utopian ideal it seems
To many of his kind, unachievable yet
Worth fighting for, for years
Of unsolicited beatings, they
Only wish to see a world of 
Equals, the world as a homogeneity of
Dark and blank pieces, 
 
Men of ‘his breed’ 
Stand up to wrong all the
Blank pieces covered in shadows
By the ‘darkness’ of their own
Misdeeds, 
So a world without
Fear would be created for once,
The end of a gruesome chapter
And the beginning of a liberal one


Premium Member Gun Control and the 2nd Amendment

The issue of gun control shouldn't even be open for argument.
We must uphold and not amend our precious 2nd amendment, 
because when governments disarm you, they can accelerate your enslavement.

Premium Member 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.
11-year-old Miah covered herself in her dead friend’s 
Blood to stay alive.

The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.
If more Americans own AR-15s, SCOTUS will
Think they’re for common use.
You can help prepare young Americans for 
Military service if you are skilled with an AR-15.

The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.
100 rounds were fired into 2 classrooms
Students called 911
Parents begged police to charge the school.
Good guys with guns waited an hour.
19 students and 2 teachers were murdered.
17 children and adults were injured.

In America, guns, and violence 
are the answers to every problem.
In America, violence means
You never need to find a solution.
The solution is always violence.
If violence solves nothing,
It’s because more violence is required.
The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.

Premium Member 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 feel 
they have to hurt you.  
Most people believe 
there is no such thing as a fair fight.
You hear things like “*itch!” 
I’m gown beat your sorry behind tonight!
And the other says
“you can try!”
“You gotta bring some
to get some!
These are the people 
that carries a weapon.
For those who were taught how to fight,
like Boxers and people who study 
the Marshall arts.
When you learn how to fight,
you have to remember people's 
second amendment rights.
You'd be surprise at the number of people
who'd bring a gun to a fist fight.

There are those who go out looking for a fight.
Suffering from inflated ego's or over confidence.
Those are ones who get beaten up every time.
I was a Dee Jay working at night club.
A guy came up to me and told me.
He came out to start something.
His night wouldn't be right without a good fight.
So later that night when the club was packed.
And of course, a fight started on the other side of the room.
Mr. Ignorant jumps up and turns over his table
looking to start something.
But the people had quickly 
picked up their drinks and stood back.
I smiled as security walked his Ignorance out the door.
If one has fighting in mind,
I believe in the right place and the right time.

So, lets flash back to 1979
Where I was in a Kung Fu class.
After training for a few of months,
In the outdoor gym, my class mate 
Help me find my glass chin.
I was over confident,
He showed me why he was number one
In the class and I was number two.
I wanted to go a few rounds with him.
I thought I was better than he was.
So, I was clowning around making him look bad,
or so I thought.
When I took my stance. 
That’s when he taped me on my chin.
And…  that was thee end…
The lights went out.
I came too, and found myself on the gym floor 
And people looking down at me.
I had never been knocked out before.
I have kept my ego in check 
from that day to this.
So, I learned that 
ignorance is bliss, until
you get hit by a fist.

Premium Member The 1st Amendment

Please forgive me, but I'm now walking the borderline
of what might possibly offend others who read this work of mine,
but I do believe that the following must be said
continuously, otherwise one day our 1st Amendment might be dead.
"If it's ever enacted into law that we can't say "**** You" because it offends,
then we'll never again be able to say "**** You" to an unruly government."

Second Amendment

please, Mr. President
don't take my 9 away
it's my constitutional right
and I shoot most every day

I use it very wisely
I would never take a life
aren't there bigger issues to resolve?
you've got larger fish to fry!

what would I do without it?
where will my frustrations go?
right now shooting at a target
is the best way that I know!

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.

Premium Member 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.

Premium Member 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 he's sent

He should not be the president
Was never meant to be
Let's oust him with the twenty-fifth
Will be gone, you will see

Those who tout this grand amendment
Should read it once or twice
To see  that it's not so easy
The procedure's not so nice

Whether or not successful
The twenty-fifth will have a cost
With no regard for voters' wants and needs
We the people will have lost

Second Amendment and Child Like Behaviour

Second Amendment and Child Like Behaviour

Suppose a red rose we should start to see
Reminding all those there of you and me
And such a short life together we did live
Total devotion to each other we would give.

AR-15 rifle is being raffled off by someone
Both automatic rifle and an assault gun
For conflicts and wars was only designed
Police and/or military operations combined.

In hunting by civilians was never meant for
Shooting of animals, coyotes or wild boar
National Guard local files check (LFC) you need
And how weapons chamber to properly feed.

Why would you want to give or sell a weapon
And each and every rule always be excepting
If you had unsatisfactory behavior incorrect
Sell any weapon to them should not select.

South does have a old flag great and grand
But why do they live in la la and fantasyland
Rules and regulations do destroy or distort
No wonder weapons holders win in any court.

Second Amendment sure is such a big issue
All Republicans and NRA will have to ensue
Need Democrats to be our protector and savior
Defend us from confusion and child like behavior.

Amendment To Coleridge - a Feghoot

Before the Mariner grew old, and sailed upon the wave,
He had a wife, a daughter too... she drove him to his grave!
T'was not the Albatross that cursed this man who rode upon the foam,
Before all that his life was worse - with tales of ribbon, brush and comb.

His daughter, see, had bright red locks. She kept them fresh by grooming;
But could not see the mess she'd made when she was finished 'pruning'.
At times like these, her father snapped; too tired and vexed to think:

DAUGHTER, DAUGHTER! EVERY HAIR'S AGAIN DROPPED IN THE SINK!

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
ratified more'n two centuries ago

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
flagrant misuse of power,
(not to mention nepotism)

invidious, insidious, injurious... infractions
incontestable, incontrovertible, contemptible...
significant melange in führer
re: hating deplorably
crooked basely barren
factual exposé after another,

deft correspondents all not quiet
along western front
(I heard Maria - mull remark)
bring "to light" execrable,
lamentable reprehensible...
gross transgressions

commander in chief
significantly overstepped
Pulitzer prize winning
prestigious storied publications
scathingly trounced, pillaried,
lambasted, insulted, denounced,

butchered, critiqued, demonized,
fricassed, gored, humiliated,...
pummeled, quartered, reviled
courageously expounding fiend
ensconced within his Taj Mahal

impregnable donjon, whereat he trumpets
laurels asper, nonpareil administration
laying groundless accusations
baring his white fangs,
twittering, naysaying, mocking.. supreme
renown gifted by "honest Abe"

recalcitrant commander in chief,
who refutes objectionable
dogged investigative journalism
every step of the way,
where dedicated news gatherers
risk life and limb

firing line reportage troopers
ferreting (foxlike) he/she
doth gopher precious nuggets
uncover alarming undisputable details
impossible to refute raw bits
agent provocateur freely colluding

immediately hashtashed poppycock
smarmy, snooty, snappy
beastly capital one ogre
blatantly castigating diligent endeavors
oblivious pie in sky
delusional egotistic haughtiness
bobblehead vilified by silent majority.
