the world is an image alignment
in the mind of the many reflectives
called causes that are seen mirrored
as changes passing with little lasting
only just one fourteenth of a brief second
that is reality to mankind's mind of/as the now's
being that fraction called time is our relative speed
with respect other creatures such as the most intelligent
of the raptor species called the raven that is not just self-aware
but is so as a problem solver and tool maker making it the creator
amongst such creatures of it's kind and proving mankind is not alone
but egotistically shares a species interdimensional intellectual time-space

Freedom of speech
is less about freedom from suppression
when more about freedom toward mutual dialogue,
cooperatively held impression
to co-invest in active democratic hope.
Perhaps this is why
First Amendment non-violent communication values
grow in heart-felt significance
as Second Amendment rights to bear violent arms
recede in multicultural salience
safety
security
sanity.
This causal hypothesis
feels further supported
by First Amendment's second part,
freedom to peacefully assemble,
More likely peace found through cooperative dialogue
than lost, again, through ballistic debate,
whether presidential or non-presidential,
featuring the sound of my own heated voice
drowning active hopes of all others present
here and now
longing to be heard
and known
reminded we belong First together
Not Second
to bear arms and words,
weapons against each other.
Having the right
does not make it right
to be violently
and egotistically wrong.

So much stupidity
And attempts at mimicry
Do I need to describe it more vividly
With better imagery?
I guess I've been feeling differently
Than the rest of the industry
Don't ever question my authenticity
And dignity
In any vicinity
Got to get it willingly
Consistently with resiliency
Executing the plans skillfully
And efficiently
Whether it is clear or poor visibility
You must be kidding me
FOH with your flippancy and negativity
I want no involvement in such petty activity
So quit the hostility
And bigotry
Before you instantly
Get no sympathy
No validity
And credibility
Do not speak to me religiously
Or egotistically
Maul you viciously
Making you bow submissivley
So proud of your own infamy
And any publicity
Show you some true brilliancy
With or without electricity
Out and in of every proximity
Picture Perfect
Positioning round, global meltdown
Searching for that something not meant to be found
Conditioned we craze, our over populated phase
Why ask questions if the real issue you're scared to raise
Reflexive intuition on which status or position
Freedom to live our lives under certain strict conditions
Egotistically incorrect, assets counted as debt
Proud to be another uneducated intellect
Properly addressed, to crooked to confess
Wondering who is it next that I must impress
Silently ashamed, only false within our fame
Last ones to realize it's all just a game
Shackled in restraint, lies blessed by a Saint
You can't paint a perfect picture...
if there is nothing perfect left to paint...

Upright and Not Inscrutable
By Franklin Price
9/20/2015
Upright and not inscrutable
Always Constitutional
Never running for an office just for me
Looking out for my constituents
In your best interests are my intents
However else would you think that I could be
Always standing for you here I am
For you my finger's in the dam
Making sure that it will never ever burst
Certifying that the laws we make
Will never your found freedom take
My responsibility is always to you first
Do I detect a hint of doubt
That some of you have found me out
Think that I am egotistically involved
That I will follow party first
Although for you could be the worst
Re-election is my goal I am resolved
I now seek a higher post
So you may raise your glass and toast
That I could be the highest in the land
Find I cannot get there at all
This you may find will bring a pall
Without the rich and things that they demand
Should not be me that you despise
For getting wool pulled o'er your eyes
It's the nature of the modern politic
If I could get there another way
Would still have your back first today
That the rich control us really makes me sick
Forget that it's all sugarcoated
Accept that you can't quit
Censored, conformed and covered up
Egotistically you won't admit
Because you'll never see how you're
Obsessively checking in
Ordinary people telling lies to you
Knowing you never will win
Ultimately it is of utmost mistake to stereotype
Thus the astrology in the form of the daily horoscope
In any ancient - medieval and renaissance culture then to cope
With each of these as well as contemporary philosophy
In fact be it be true psychological astrology to be or shall it not be
Attempts to reconcile temporal and local images. per se
Thou we have several unique abilities of astrology
Science of an old etymological sense of truly
" A system of knowledge" A science in mathematics
Measuring quantities - cause and effect in modern physics
Postulates behind the measurement in ancient primitive
Archaic astrology and astral astrology cognitive
Leading to astral of personality all within us
We earn the ultimate of its entirety all within us
Quality be the id, the ego and personality egotistically
To calculate the extremity of the stars and mathematically
Devoted to the surmise and the creation that inventive.
My life has been...
Egotistically hypo-manic
Systematic and tragic
Insanity looms like a ghost in the attic
Ive been in five point restraints
Because of my mental state
Ive been driven by fate
And the need to create
Somedays Im up, Im higher then high
So high above the birds that fly in the sky
Then I come crashing down, I cant help it but cry
At least its real, Im not living a lie
My state of mind is my state of affairs
I talk my truth but and see nothing but stares
I get to my knees and say nothing but prayers
I ask for help but nobody cares
abolished beheadings conspire delicately. egotistically fawning grooves hinder intricate juries.
keeping luxurious meanders. nocturnal outlets permeate quintessentially. random splurges
transcend universal victories. whispering xylenics yearn zoomingly.
All so egotistically
Distorting all versions of reality
Chemically compatible with separate identities
All else falls away except gravity
Abnormally accessing enlightenment in mind blowing quantities
For years we have documented our hearts corse
Like the ink bleeding out our sores
Far away from the shores i float underneath a raging sea so peacefully.
Underneathe the blue tranquility
Reaching far above the natural ability of just scribbiling
