Straight and tall with features very fair
They are smart and have lots of brains

A Friendship LostStilted words, hesitation, a pause
once best of friends, now over in an instant.
Strangled breath, stomach in knots
surreal out of body sensation.
Our bond so close, like Jonathon and David
I saw, yet ignored a fragile weakness
believed her never ending hurt and pain
escaping ills, prescription pills, a ready...

Rose-Red Delusional Grandeurpoetically fractured retractions
gnashing night prayers,
scribbling braille,
written sideways
dipped in holy water's resolution,
compromising statements
of disbelief's proclamation
spinning music the color
of nakedly sick psycho, yet
burnished souls keep on ticking

Polemics and TheatricsCult and trend and recalcitrance
I'm from the streets and have seen things
But this I have to admit is beyond me
It's hunting season and they are all in
Pontificating politicians demanding penance
Pointing fingers at pimps and king pins
Attracting the attention of sharp shooters
It’s a dreary mess...

Much Better PlacesMuch better places
It hides from the moon light
beneath the brush and thistle
of a desolate landscape of patchwork failures,
appearing one more time seething,
slicing open old wounds once healed,
blood thirsty appetites favored
Slick but imaginatively unkempt,
disguised as someone you want to know,
lurking in the reaching shadows,
leaving muddied tracks,...

Not Our Founding Fathers CountryNot Our Founding Father's Nation
By Franklin Price
7/7/2016
Not our founding father's nation
That we're living in today
We're no longer using horses
To move ourselves along the way
Autos, planes and satellites
Make this country very small
The World is not much bigger
All is at our beck and call
Information instantaneous
Don't...

ZoomanityZoomanity
Ponderous pretense
blindsiding any ability to cope, to hope, the
fabric of reality gropes, worn
Torn, promises shredding like swilly alibis
Hoovers and fakers
backing into their mangled apocalypse,
can only stammer and stare
Movers and shakers denying the twofers mindset, all those
simulated regrets getting the glares
The...

On the Edge...Measure by humanity, the capacity is overwhelming.
We take for granted the nature which surrounds us.
Gradually reaching the end- by business suits and their passion for currency--
Look around and observe this earth- Sounds, water, trees, birds--all are of great worth...
The extinction of resources allows some...

This Could Be Coming Very Shortly To AmericaAccording to the 700 Club host's Gordon, "This could be coming very shortly to America, of course Congress would have to approve and President Biden would have to sign it."

SometimesSometimes....
I think that I might be allergic to life...
Like, every sarcastic remark,
Like every rude response,
Like every eye roll,
Every rebuttal,
given about every infraction...
Isn't me being snarky or difficult,
But an allergic reaction.
Like every angry, eye twitching response, is just another allergic reaction inducing...

RetreatThat resting's sideways mat
and resting's oblations seem exact
no thought defined, but to extract
life's residual interact!
I can't but bide in wait
God's asking is my fate,
what e'er the cost or blessing's loss
insolvent or belate!
In thee now only move
to strength as His denote,
no turning opposite as groove

Songs of Soul COS No 3: ABABQuest be, will we exist ... 'tis hit or miss

of my retractions that constants amiss

A ponderous virtue partook a smile
that placed atop lap held, arched assuages,

Delusional VarietyIf idiocy and democracy could carry the blame..
If intent and purpose were one and the same
If love and life wasn't such an uneven game
Before even a given name, it goes from whence it came.
If morals and law walked hand in hand.
If time and...

I Never Cease To WonderI Never Cease to Wonder
By Franklin Price
9/22/2109
I never cease to wonder
How our leaders are today
How the truth's of little matter
In much of what they say
How they're using innuendo
And untruths to overcome
Never saying how they'll lead us
Are, we the people, that damn dumb?
The media goes...
