Iron grips of discipline is strained.
Heats of the moment is sparsely contained.
Powers are overlooked in childish innocence.
Tolerance is not for mockery from aberrance.
Simmering hope and openness of freedom.
Alas, who can stop these steps to martyrdom....
Hearts are wrenching breathlessly in treason
To the stern mind ever destined to reason.
Shivering soul hugs the heat of its own cage
while cool dumb sheets bear frustration of rage.
Waves work overnight to convey words
and unfortunate hearts solve but crosswords!
Sure, it’s never eternal as eternity is abstract
And the heart often knows this bare fact.
Pack it all... emotions in depth of dark grooves!
Time now for a move as conscience proves,
Once again, rule is for a world that materialised.
Insensitive to tyranny that penalised.
Everlasting game; subduing the essence of humanity
while unscathed, it strives to stand in its own dignity!
Note: This poem came upon inspirations derived from my stay with international delegates in India and my wonderful exchange of customs and culture.
It's Not How We Do Believe
By Franklin Price
10/30/2016
It's not how we do believe
But in whom we do believe
That will get us through heaven's pearly gates
It's not entering the church
Every time the doors are open
Or listening to Christ's preaching delegates
If we need the extra hedge
If daily life's driving a wedge
In your belief that Jesus is the way the light
Then church is there for you
And it's something you should do
To confirm for you that your path is right
The path is doing all we can
While believing in the Lord
Who died on that lonely cross for you and me
That he gave his life for us
To forgive us of our sins
And when we die we will in heaven be
It's honoring his way
Doing good from day to day
Doing all we can to help our fellow man
Honor home and family
Be the best friend we can be
To join Jesus on the day we kick the can
Don't chastise my having fun
For me that's how it's done
Jesus wouldn't want us sad but very droll
If we practice what we preach
Heaven's well within our reach
Jesus saves our very undeserving souls
The Map
Hence, reacting to tyrannical rule in 1776,
Delegates from the thirteen colonies met in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
To declare independence from Great Britain.
Eleven years later, the ratification process of the
American Constitution began, and it was ratified
On June 21, 1788, thereby creating the framework
For the formation of the “Republic of the United States.”
With a government for the people, by the people,
In three branches—legislative, executive, and judicial—
With checks, balances, and cooperation
Ensuring constitutional interpretation.
Governed by two congressional bodies and a president,
Elected by state and electoral college systems,
And an appointed Supreme Court of nine justices,
“Equal Justice Under Law“ is approved by the U.S. Congress.
Between two oceans, east and west (the Atlantic and Pacific),
And between two countries, north and south (Canada and Mexico),
The map today displays a compression of forty-eight states
And two non-contiguous states, a federal district, and many territories;
E Pluribus Unum, is the American nation of race and heritage,
Ethnicity, and diversity of its citizens who stand to recite
The Pledge of Allegiance while the Stars and Stripes wave in the air
Over the land as the eagle soars, signifying strength and freedom.
***
Note:
E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, one (traditional motto of U.S.A. since 1782). The official motto is “In God We Trust,” which was adopted in 1956.
Life is not fair nor is liberty and justice unified
So I will hope in He the God to whom I cry
When I think about this presidential election
And we now have Donald Trump
I am suspect about his abilities
And how he won has me stumped
I know what he is but I can't seem to understand
How the delegates of the Electoral College
Voted for this man
And looking at the tendencies of society today
Racism is alive and well Blacks being killed every day
Black lives under attack since the days of slavery
Nothing has changed Oh Lord help us please
I will hope in He my Lord Jesus the Christ
Trusting in Him to bring some salvation in this life
I will hope in He my Lord and Savior
Praying that He can change the white man's behavior
And in spite of my circumstances and my situation
I won't allow my character to suffer manipulation
I am who God made me, I am a child of the King
And I will lament to my God for true change
Only He can bring
A new dawn is coming hope will arise
I place my trust in God His inheritance is my prize
Holding Onto Promises Expected
I will hope in He
The omnipotent and omnipresent God
Who assures me victory
His mercies never cease
His grace will endure
I will hope in He
Today and forever more
The Political class
The problem with politicians is we need
someone to represent us and they do for a reward
the power and prestige.
Delegates speak fluently give promises they have
no intention of keeping and a prone to corruption
and will always do the bidding of the haves.
In the corridors of power, they strike deals which
are hidden for us and when called out they lies
and we are often too willing to believe them.
Of course, we have democracy and elect someone else
who say what we like to hear, but they the new brooms
somehow blend in with the rest of their class
and many run their own businesses that, they say, is
because they work hard, I call it skulduggery.
President Macron of France is a good example, silver-tongued
and charming he pretends to want a just society
when the truth is he only represents big business
and doesn`t bother to talk to the lower classes except
for platitudes and when we discover the truth, it is too late
a politician who has no ideology is only in for this
for control and when they fail feel no shame just
go back making money elsewhere.
SYMPOSIA
There will be upcoming international symposia
on the emerging technology of efficient fastener.
This is my idea and I am acting as the convener,
kept the topic open, not restricted only to zipper.
This is personal invitation from me to you to come
as you will surely find the deliberations interesting
for there will be eminent delegates demonstrating
new techniques of binding as the recent invention.
You will benefit to learn skill of tying by taking part
for a fascinating session will be organized in the end
on the ways how the chattering lips can be fastened
if your spouse cannot keep the prattling mouth shut.

(I hope the end words of the outer
lines of each stanza are similar in sound)
UN delegates walk out on Israel’s Prime Minister speech
They all walked out, feigning scorn
This is how decency gets mourned
That walk of shame, like the perps
The deaf and dumb, immoral twerps
The rotten body of UN
It shows it’s worth, I am no fan
Most sided strongly with Hamas
The slime that dreams of “Jews to gas”
The world’s a very cruel place
It wants a scum in Zion’s space
Condemning not kidnapped and killed
“The Palestine’s Sweethearts Guild”
Baptized by shame, for all to see
They wouldn’t listen to a plea
Well done Hamas, Iran, Qatar
This walk, both vile and bizarre
The evil spirits ran for cover
In hallways they preferred to hover
While facts dissected utter darkness
The uglies couldn't stand the starkness
Yet truth prevails, be it known
Israel wins, if all alone
No, never be no Palestine
An outcome to which resign
September 26, 2025
It's time to be a priest,
a mediatory agent of God
appointed and anointed
to help the people to impart
in America, we're in chaos
with ICE running amok
killing people and using children as bait
to arrest immigrant adults
so what are we as individuals
going to do?
are we ready to put our feet on the ground
and intercede too?
it's time to be a priest
to take up the cause
to operate as delegates
and bring about a pause
to stop the craziness
that has taken a hold
to stand up for our fellow man
to be priestly and bold
are we ready to camp out
to stand in the gap?
as we carry the presence of God
like the Ark of the Covenant on our backs?
we need to work with God
as co-laborers in the trenches
to get down in the dirt
and if we have to climb over obstacles and fences
we need to be courageous
with an inner resolution
to face our fears and overcome them
by possessing a strong constitution
to find the courage to do more than just pray
but to act as well
because if we do nothing, we will all die anyway
and probably go to hell
we need to be obedient
to God's command
to pay attention to that
which of us He demands
to follow His directives
to move forward according to His plans
to cleave to His righteousness
and hold to His mighty hand
we also need to operate in purpose
to move with a godly intent
to understand our objective and duties as priests
to the fullest extent
It's time to be a priest
to be mediators appointed by the Lord God
courageous, obedient and purposeful
standing in the gap
when it comes to matters of the heart
Its time to be a priest
I'm Really Quite Confused
By Franklin Price
6/18/2016
I'm really quite confused about our politics today,
And of the selfish things they do and all the games they play
Super delegates are used to control the end result.
Voting districts rearranged; a mind boggling insult.
Counteract the money limits by organizing super pacs
And owe the rich who back them; part of the under-handed facts
To continue on these selfish moves, the parties, to gain note,
Allowed candidates they didn't want to represent them for your vote.
Surprise their message caught on, and they headed for the top.
The parties asked the question: how can we make these people stop?
Say bad things about them, but don't admit to a mistake;
Can't offer either money, for neither's on the take.
Supposedly in Washington, public interest is in mind.
The politicians are the public. I think that is what you'll find.
Many of incumbents have been there way too long.
Guess we're afraid to kick them out; could be we're voting wrong.
The voters' views are negative. That's what the polling shows
Yet voting's setting records and opinions come to blows
In the end it is the people who are supposed to run the place
Vote when the polls are open or don't complain or show your face
Who you see is who you put there to control this country's fate;
November soon will be here, all you voters mark the date
Vote all the ones you think are best. They followed all the rules,
Put there by the politicians, who were elected by us fools.
There’s a police boat on the river
With a flashing bright blue light
Keeping watch to guarantee this week
That all will be all right.
For the General Assembly’s
Taking place at the U.N.
And if trouble happens, no one knows
The where, the how or when.
So the cops and even Coast Guard
On the water do patrol
With the safety of the delegates
Their one abiding goal.
Yet I cannot help but wonder
If they think there is a chance
That some bad guys would attack
Via that watery expanse.
Guess they’re covering the bases
For you never can be sure
Though those boats with police and weapons
Don’t make me feel more secure.
