Our dark founding father, of American literature,
A sinister beacon of darkness, lighting the way
Into the darkened abyss of mankind’s soul.
Within the galleria of madness, he is the
Grandmaster of the black ink, and it's
Written words of terror.
In thus the shadow realm, does his spirit
Still roam, on the cutting edge of fear,
A fine thin line, is drawn between reality,
And fictions illusionary world.
Life's a shunned, abandonment’s creation,
The lord's misbegotten son, embraced
The night's cloak, in it's power
His only salvation unto history's
Remembrance, is found a truth's
Justice and notability's respect.
Loves passionate compliant servant,
Dashed against the rocks of life itself,
Broken and damaged, he rose above
The waves of poverty, and the under
Current of tragedies broken
Heart.
Some may say he wrote from the after
Effects that laid, at the bottom
Of the bottle.
Or afterfeeds drug endued comma, dulling
The emotional nerves concept between
Right and wrong, the social exceptionable
Norm.
But we care not what others wish to believe,
For we honor him, those of us the dark poets,
As the father whom lead the way, between
Light and dark.
Dearest Edger Allen Poe, the legend, the man,
A spiritual dark representative, with pens quailed
Ink at his command.

Who Among Us?
By Franklin Price
12/20/2020
Who among us will now stand up, as our founding fathers did.
Look at where we are today, because we've run away and hid.
Washington is driving us, not the other way around.
They don't listen to the people, don't like the song of freedom's sound
They're on the throne, controlling us, to take away our given rights,
established by the Constitution, which is also in their sights.
Been building now for many years, their thoughts of royalty
The Parties there, pull us apart, there's no middle road to see
They put lucre in their pockets from the rich and well to do.
That's why many are in office, they're not there for me and you
It's time that We the People, who have little but our voice,
make it heard in Washington, so that Congress has no choice.
We must come out of hiding, get our heads out of the sand,
stand up to those in Washington, or we soon will lose our Land.
Put our net and mail to work. Let the ones in Congress know
If they don't listen to the people, then they, for sure, will have to go.
Do I hear that you can't do it, that you don't know what to say
Then talk to friends and neighbors you have met along the way.
Was not one founding father, who first started all this fun.
Gather again the ones for liberty, or these United States are done.
If you believe these words, please pass them along to all you can, in any manner you have; especially to your Senators and Representatives in Congress.
In the historical archives, many trails have led to
The making of a legend, those born with the pioneer spirit
Of individuality, bred deeply within their soul.
Such was this man we called, Mr. President, Theodore Roosevelt.
A cowboy rough rider, whom wrangled his way with true
Grits fight, making his way to the oval office round-up in
Washington, DC,
Thus America's pride, was alive within Teddy's wild heart.
This wilderness environmentalist, who's grand vision,
Had the foresight to leave a wondrous gift behind him.
To a nation beloved by him, this honorable man,
Bestowed his legacies inheritance for future generations,
To enjoy forever, the green valley's known as the
National Parks and National forests.
A nation's founding father, his face indubitably
Engrained, into solid granites bed rock, on the exterior of
Mount Rushmore, so does it bare witness, to this presidents
Greatness unto posterity.
A rugged individualist, believing in the fair deal policy,
For all men, should all have the same rights and liberties.
Theodore did so carry a big stick, but spoke softly,
In the foreign policy arena, thus receiving the Noble Peace Prize.
Drive did he, the stake of progress across the raw landscape
Of Cuba, creating a man made wonder, called the Panama Canal.
But if asked Theodore Roosevelt’s greatest achievement,
Was the raising of his children, and living life to it's
Fullest depth's degree.
A grievice day, to lose one such as he, but this man
Whom loved adventure, looked at the death as only
The beginning of another chapter's turning of a page,
Beyond lies another horizon's sunset to be explored.
Don't cry at the loss of one such as myself,
Shed no tears, yet raise a toast instead, on my behalf,
Celebrate how I lived, and for the little accomplishments
I've left behind.
For in this way Theodore Roosevelt wished to be
Remembered and the greatest tribute of all.

Chemical Engineering is a fluid field to get into
The new advances do yield an interesting view
American Institute of Chemical Engineering started
When the jobs came into fruition and imparted
Unit operations is the Chemical Engineer’s key
Davis is the founding father who coined the lead
Other offsprings of the field are coming nowadays
Process Systems Engineering is one that stays
So does Bioengineering with courses I would enjoy
Some did I venture into, when I was just a boy
Chemical thermodynamics sounds hard to do
That another thing that people must get into
This field sounds difficult, but one I wanted to view
Never did I think it would help create my brew
Russell Sivey
An avid student of Copernicus
And keen observer of the universe,
The founding father of astronomy,
Philosopher and polymath was he.
Punished by Urban for his heresy,
For his heliocentric the-o-ry,
He appeared before the Inquisition
Which required his public recantation.
Imprisoned, muttered :”and yet it moves”
But this false recantation nothing proves.
I, Davis, am the founding father of Chemical Engineering
It is something that many new scientists find endearing
The American Institute of Chemical Engineering started
When jobs, which I helped create, came and imparted
Unit operations is the Chemical Engineer’s key
To what we are truly desiring and meant to be
Other offsprings of the field are coming nowadays
Process Systems Engineering is one that stays
Bioengineering is another area at which I brought
So many offshoots did I create just by my thought
Chemical thermodynamics sounds hard to do
That is just another thing that I did venture into
This field is growing which I knew it would go
I put everything into it, all that I could know
Have kept an eye out for the difficulty factor
But I have never left this field, I’m not a defector

What the Wit Wanted
Founding Father Benjamin Franklin
A stout wit with more than one chin
As our national symbol, he wanted the turkey
For he had yet to taste Native jerky
*Written January 22, 2019
For Andrea’s Educate Me with Humor - Leader Clerihew challenge
For enlightenment, I learned this:
Some say Native Americans made the first jerky (buffalo jerky) thousands of years ago, while others say an ancient Inca tribe called the Quechua made jerky as early as the 1500s.
Also, in the play "1776," there is a song called "The Egg." When Ben Franklin wants to make the turkey our national emblem, Thomas Jefferson suggests the dove to represent peace. Both men’s ideas are shot down when a more demanding John Adams suggests the eagle for its strength.
There is some contention surrounding Franklin's choice. In a 1784 letter to his daughter, however, Franklin explained that the bald eagle had a “bad moral character” and was a “rank coward” that merely steals from other birds.
George Washington an Old Fuddy-Duddy?
By Elton Camp
What image of Washington comes to mind?
In with your money is the one you will find
Right there George is, on the one-dollar bill
And looking humorless, old and extremely ill
No worse portrait could anyone possibly pick
It is showing a man who is aged, ugly and sick
Some fuddy-duddy is just what he appears to be
But that image of him is wrong, as we will see
Most of what we know of him is really incorrect
Now Parson Weem’s lies we’ve come to detect
“George Washington couldn’t possibly tell a lie
No matter if he wanted to, there’s no need to try.”
The parson told us about the chopped cherry tree
That story is just as false as it can possibly be
The Founding Father had traits good and bad
So, exaggeration and lies there’s no need to add
Handsome as a young man as well as quite tall
In a group of men, he towered above them all
In picking a wife, Washington really did excel
Martha was so pretty and also very rich as well
A young army officer, he was ambitious & bold
But not always successful, if the truth be told
Washington lost far more battles than he won
The Fort Necessity surrender surely wasn’t fun
That record didn’t stop his advancement, of course
He became commander of the Revolutionary force
Rather than hole up in a mansion in some big town,
Living with the troops with his wife he was found
After founding a country, he did an amazing thing
By serving as leader, but wouldn’t become a king
After two terms, the presidency George did yield
Return to Mt. Vernon & manage his land and field
Perhaps an amazing fact most folks will now find
Part of his living was from the making of moonshine
How does this fit with all the stuff we’ve been told
About the grim-looking guy inside your billfold?
Another thing about him that gives him greater charm
Washington introduced the mule to the American farm
He was the first president who could be considered green
To him, the advantages of manure as fertilizer was seen
Those Washington stories are enough to make one quiver
Like him throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac River
So no old fuddy-duddy was he or did he ever come to be
It’s that awful dollar bill picture that in our minds we see
They say it is their legal rights
For them to bear a firearm
But every time you see the news
its the innocent ones whose getting harm
Today a man walks in public school
Just a couple hours ago
Take so many innocent lives
Why? We will never know
cause he turn the gun on him self
and no one will ever know the reason
and 26 children lays dead
so the elites can have their hunting season
Parents Drop their kids this morning
To school and said their goodbyes
Not knowing it’s the last time
They will be looking in their little eyes
When some hears the gun fire
They hurriedly call 911
By the time the police arrives
26 innocent lives are gone
What do you say to them?
The families who lost love ones
Their whole lives are taken away
Because the politicians refuse to ban guns
How many more people must die
Before all guns are completely destroy
How can parents ever cope?
Not seeing their little girl and little boy
Its time president Obama stands up
And stop putting the children at risk
I’m sure the nation’s founding father
Never though it would be like this
If Abraham Lincoln and George Washington
Was alive to see this massacred of children
They would have change the laws
To Never to sell a gun again
But the rich politicians in America
Are safe with their body guards
And putting guns in the hands
of people who are completely mad?
Massacres in Columbine high school
And the premiere of batman
Shootings in shopping malls across america
To much guns in the wrong hands
We the people of USA
We can’t let our innocent die anymore
If we cant get them to ban guns
Them what the hell are we voting for
(In Memorium:
For Modern Singapore's
Founding Father,
Mr Lee Kuan Yew, RIP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See that body politic
In visionary brave tact;
See that action dynamic
In lovely outcome life facts.
A man of vision lived here
With a fierce, bold loyalty;
A man of passion most dear
Who forged purpose profoundly.
Once in a hundred years we
Are lucky to witness grand;
Once in a vital way see
A soul who fleshed our good ends.
The Singapore way today
Was crafted by bold daring;
The modern city state pays
A tribute to great forging.
Our once upon a time here
Is lived through the humble man;
The life we live now endears
All races to a clear trend.
As a mark of gratitude,
We the people honour you;
For forging faith attitude:
"Thank you Mister Lee Kuan Yew."
Your days upon this good earth
Are over now -- Rest In Peace;
We mourn yet feel a warm mirth:
Your Singapore blooms kind ease.

Here's to you - founding father Thomas Jefferson
Magnificent monuments have been erected for those of fame,
And o'er the graves of others will e'er glow an eternal flame.
But America's greatest rest 'neath a simple marble stone.
They laid down their lives for mankind's follies to atone.
The towering Washington Monument is very inspiring and grand,
Built to honor a founding father and first president of the land.
But standing as majestically across this grateful nation,
Are simple marble stones of those who served with dedication.
The memorial for Thomas Jefferson is very impressive indeed.
'Tis well deserved, since he helped create this nation's creed.
But simple marble stones bear the honored names for all eternity,
Of those gallant souls who gave their all defending liberty.
The Lincoln Memorial honors a man who with steadfast resolve,
Sought brotherhood that a reunited nation might evolve.
For this noble cause, valiant patriots sacrified their all.
They lie 'neath simple marble stones awaiting Gabriel's bugle call.
Neither on memorials nor in history books will their names appear.
They merely answered the call to defend all they held so dear.
They placed the nation's destiny above their very own.
Those brave men and women who lie 'neath a simple marble stone.

Thomas Paine
United States a Founding Father
Born in Norfolk an honest English man
Me proud to be part of a true Ameri can
No summer soldier or sunshine patriot
Spoke what he thought treasure no idiot
Tyranny like hell is not so easily conquered
harder the glorious conflict amour armoured
Still being inspiration in the army of freedom
his memory surely no not just my poor poem
Lover of freedom bringing common sense
the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
Hater of all the established churches
Lover of the native Indian Iroquois
But no Christian burial for him
No Christian church would receive his body for burial
You were much more than a man with a kite and a key.
By being a founding father of a new country,
your signature can be seen on some great documents.
Helping with the Declaration of independence,
in our history, you made an auspicious presence.
Your many accomplishments can be considered great.
You were seen on half-dollars from nineteen forty-eight
until fifteen years later in nineteen sixty-three
when they bumped you off in favor of John Kennedy.
However, your prominent image we can see still,
on the Federal Reserve’s one hundred dollar bill.
