Terrorism Uses Violence
Terrorism Uses Violence
By Franklin Price
9/21/2016
Terrorism, uses violence to politically achieve a goal
The terrorist does the dirty work, as required, it's his role.
A bomb, a gun, a knife or two, a commercial high-jacked plane
Anything to scare the public, causing death and hurt and pain
The acts that we have witnessed, for fifteen years and more,
I don't believe...

365 Uses For a Diary
Every day is a page to write a new story
But isn't this life's diary?
Leather aroma
Tightly bound tome
Mint and crisp at birth
Becoming well thumbed and worn
Finally we reach the last page
As we reach our last breath
To be filed away in the Great Library
Shelved with all the others
Do we meekly record our lives?
The next page like the...

The Enemy Uses People Close To Us To Try and Knock Us Down
the enemy tries to use people to try and knock us down
but I am still smilling and not wearing a frown
I know God is greater and stronger than all things
and thats why today my heart still sings
I wake up early at the crack of dawn
and just keep singing even if i yawn
I feel revitalised i...

The Many Uses of Pact
Wrote half a poem on a rat
Then realized I’d spelled it wrong
It’s not “Pact” Rat, it’s a “Pack” Rat
This write is just taking too long
Did a search on the Internet
To see how the word can be used
Wanted a unique use of Pact
So all of them there, I perused
Gave up and threw-in the towel
And decided to...

Practical Uses For the Eraser
What in heaven's name would we ever do, oft' I wonder,
If not for the humble pencil eraser to correct our every blunder!
Plaudits to Mr. Hyman Lipman for his inventive intellect,
For patenting this mundane gizmo for our errors to correct!
A pencil eraser is also useful for musing bards to chew on,
While striving to concoct verse when...

Different Uses For Unused Corners
Nobody is afraid of unforeseen restraints
I use unused corners to keep my quiet complaints
By far the most despicable four letter word is fair
Because you don't see it, does not mean it's not there
Yes! Dust gathers everywhere you don't go
The Academy Awards yours, for your roll in the show
A movie about you surrounded by what...

God Uses My Hand
When I used to read the poems that I had written
I would be amazed and truly surprised
for I was aware that I wrote good poetry
but they turned out better than I would have realized.
Today I know better than I did way back then
I know that these words that I write...

Santa Uses a Sleigh
Santa uses a sleigh
A race car!
A sled!
A tambourine!
How do you use a tambourine?
He drummed out a beat.
We mean to get around
To travel
Oh, that’s easy.
He has a limousine.
We are in ready-to-punch-each-other mode now
Just then Santa flies by under a helium balloon...

Stroke Survivor Uses Right Arm - Leg After 3 Years
GLORY TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR Yeshua HaMeshiach
Thousands of miles away, my drums beat with America -
the ear drums as much as my heart rhythm: news of abuse
A mild term for what some (a minority, surely) police do
When they can get away with murder, or "crucifying a man" -
But when I am called...

Priest Who Uses a Pacifier
Priest Has Great Looking Hair
Hair looked great when Priest used dryer,
He has become known as prudent pacifier;
With long feet;
Voice so sweet;
Loved choir while wearing their attire.
Choir Never Liked Their Attire
Choir never did like their attire though,
And into trash they would rather throw;
Appearance poor,
And want no more,
While saying that God had told them so.
Disaster Did Strike...

The Many Uses of Bubble Gum
In my youth, I made
A bubble gum ball . . .
That over time just got bigger and bigger, usually.
It was sticky icky, just like me.
It splattered perfectly onto the wall . . .
The bubble gum wall!
That over time became a work of Art.
Always getting bigger, usually.
Also, a...
