By Franklin Price
3/3/2016

Our forefathers built this country. They placed their faith in God.
They pledged to give their lives for it, All lay now 'neath the sod.

You can bet they're rolling over. Seeing now what we have done
Many in the name of Jesus, the Ghost,...

My forefathers once poured dry gin on the
green land of Nkporo from the North to the west,
Prayed for prosperity and harmony to their children.
Gathered us under the half yellow moon and narrated 
To us the traditions and cultures of our people.
"Ifeoma di na iru, Nke...

Who didst unknowingly, unquestionably, 
and unwittingly script vitality
and the prologue to Thanksgiving,
(which theme poem initially written)
about three hundred and ninety seven years, 
and nine months after February third 1621,

By Franklin Price
8/27/2015

Our forefather's Panacea
Would be wonderful to see
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
These goals were never free

For independence signed their names

Some rights or your life?
The question's put to us all
What would be your choice?

We need to profile
Trading some rights for safety
Small inconvenience

To locate the nests
Of these cockroaches and to
Exterminate them

Arguing over
Our Constitutional rights
Is a waste of time

If our Forefathers
Could see us now, they would say,
"Destroy...

As the bones of the forefathers 
Find their way
May you sit on top
And observe your work
As there is more to come NDESANA
I journey is not a journey
Until it is taken Qwashu 
Constructively as it formulates
A song is not a song
Until it is sang MBOYI 
Silently...

Oh, fathers of our forefathers 
Would that we could draw from—
Your ever-flowing wellspring of wisdom.
In your footsteps peace would reign
With days serene and night long and calm.

Fathers of our forefathers 
Your bravery and courage knows no equal
How did you blend muse and diplomacy?
At times, I...

The first time you kissed me it was a surprise, I wasn’t ready.
It was a sneak attack, funny ‘cause they say the girl ‘always knows.’
I think we’re lucky we didn’t chip a tooth.

The unexpected slowed me - ‘ok, that happened,’ I thought.
Because I’d wondered, before...

Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Americans, and the world:

In the crucible of revolution, our forefathers etched their pledge—
a bold testament inscribed not solely in ink,
but in the quiet, relentless pulse of divine dependence.  
It is as if the ink itself carried whispers 
of a...

Who would relaxed smiles flash,
In a longish queue,
And not later think it a bit rash?
I tell you “a Discouraging Few”,
And am willing to stake good cash!

It had been an intolerance far from new, 
Not just by The Brash,
By whom, at home, had left a waiting...
