Republican or Democrat
Won't choose physics
Government is physics
The end of life is not a choice
Nor a vote
Fixed commodity is the loan
From here on in for "the life's
Hague?
Outside of journal
No objective
No only this
No following order
Just, troubled ends meeting
The not so great debate in America today
Is that even though liberal people fear for their lives
They dare not violate the progressive ethos
Of victim, ie. criminal, first,
And so argue round and round
That everything is okay and only getting better.
The irony of course is this obfuscation
And soft-core tyranny is actually illiberal.
But words today no longer matter
Labels being fungible
On the slippery slope of good intentions.
Well then, Hell it is, illiberal or not,
“Blue, blue, electric blue
Is the color of my room
Where I will live”
In rot with you.

Not a Democrat
Is democracy good for individual freedom
a year when spring sprang early
he bought horse and cart and made a living
moving people's rubbish to the town's pit
He was not a man working from 9 to 5 in
a factory where underpaid workers slaved
putting macaroni in tomato sauce, into a tin
he had many children, but was not a pater
Familia, the children grew up with varied
success, some failed while others thrived
Besides, he liked gardening, in the poor
A section of the town people came to see his
display the beautiful flowers
In the night, people came picked the bloom
to give color to their meagre homes, that
It was what he had wanted
He lived a long life, and his wife loved him dearly
No, he was not a democrat
I am a Democratic Socialist
I believe that the People should rule
I believe that the taxes collected
should be used for each life-saving tool
For nobody gets rich on a island
and it isn’t just fortune or luck
It takes legislative-corporate corruption
it is capitalism, running amok
All those products the billionaires sell us
charging upgrades for every new year
Truth be told, if we just stopped the buying
it is they who would feel all the fear
For the rich only care about money
keeping Office is what Reps fight for
And the taxes we pay keep on feeding
the corruption that always wants more
Why do politicians lie
And our wallets deftly pry,
Puff and bluster all the time
Their intent to cheat sublime.
Are we dumb or just naive
Of that talent to deceive,
Smiles aplenty to go round
While broken promises abound.
Why venerate them so
And not tell them where to go,
Pay good money after bad
The whole thing is rather sad.
When we put them to the test
They begin their quest with zest,
But time passes all too fast
Their resolve's not there to last.
We vote them out and start again
And get another just the same,
This conveyor belt of life
Sure to bring us yet more strife.
What solution may we ask
To complete this ingrate task,
Maybe ply them all with drink
Hoping this will help them think.
As to us, let's tune them out
Find a corner where to shout,
Release the loathing and emotion,
Survive the show and the commotion.
Let's be real and rather blunt
Lest our message we might stump,
There is another old profession
That earns its money by the session.
We might as well embrace the ride
Taking bumps full in our stride,
For if we blot out all the noise
They become mere soulless voids.
Quite a meditation to think
how man evolves, his way of
thinking, a little harmless egg
into a viper...a once proud
Democrat into a
Marxist Snake -- JFK turning
over in his grave.
Racism seems to be a deeper
infection in those that vociferously
oppose it
A contrary
species mankind is -- public servants
who serve self before God and country
Hollywood cheers, they are their
own deity -- Queen of naive hearts
gave away cars for social anointing --
King of bitter hearts, sold
his soul for the delusion of absolute
power --
Royal Flush, the Devil wins.
after inspection
Democrat is direction
for this election
It seems that Biden's term soon goes,
And is replaced by whom? Nobody knows.
So may I meekly propose
He who now controls,
That Devil from hell, George Soros.
Willful blindness, yes.
Despite all the evidence.
Irrefutable!
In with a bang out with a whimper
Gone is the bombast, the fist pumping high,
The people have voted for a country that's simpler
Fairness and decency their blaring war cry.
Obstinate tweets well may he air
While brooding and scheming for legal dog-fights,
That darkness and gloom he'll pervasively share
Will always be trumped by hope's purest lights.
We as a people believe above all
That the footsteps we walk are of giants untold,
Where no single man with bluster and gall
Will trample the feats of our heroes of old.
This not to say a man with great charge
Cannot some good things bring into our lives,
But where we do not want such man to just barge
Lies within that true heart our Nation so drives.
So as with winter where leaves fall and die
While circling clouds block the sun's warming rays,
Spring's blossoms first peek initially shy
Exploding as one to a flowering blaze.
Choose The Least Evil
Insanity Once Again

He is
the perfect democrat
for
he cares less if one is:
a man or a woman
young or old
black or white
rich or poor
powerful or weak
knowledgeable or ignorant
Christian or Moslem
Who is this ruler that has
achieved this incredible exploit
that
no man in history has ever been able
to accomplish: to eradicate
discrimination?
Who is this great Caesar
that
people kneel before him in fear
and awe?
Hail Caesar,
you hateful coronavirus,
may your days be few
and
your victims even
fewer! *

Let us pray this disease to disappear fast, very fast!
In Greece, we have close to a hundred people that are sick from this virus thus, as from today, all schools and universities and all other institutions
of learning are closed for two weeks. Italy, is the hardest hit with
hundreds of deaths. The whole country there has been closed down!
If I was liberal I would respect your opinion
if I was democrat I would respect a referendum
I do both these
I am not Liberal Democrat
The Democrat Debate
By Franklin Price
10/16/2019
Could not believe what I was watching
On the the Democrat debate
The outset not surprising
Has been no change of late
The direction of the great event
Set by the CNN
Further hurt the left side
With impeach Trump to begin
Dwelling on impeachment
Not their job there on the stage
Should have been what they would do
Of some substance, we could gage
The USA is searching for
A stabilizing ride
Impeachment's for the Congress
That's the place to stem the tide
Some of the nerdy dozen
Voiced how to sing along
And mentioned their concerns about
Helping write impeachment's song
Their object is replacing Trump
What they'll do, they should have said
Looks like the gators in the swamp
Are very far from dead
They should take a lesson
From what JFK would say
It's not what our country does for us
But what we do for it today
A Mexican mule is endowed
To cheerfully service a crowd
Each roll in the hay
Brings shouts of, "Olé!"
And his bray, for crying out loud!
