A Thousand Points of Light! ! ! ! !
Once a beacon of democracy
A shining light on the hill
The ‘American Dream’
Anyone can ‘make it’
Never more than aspirational
Structurally delusional
Always susceptible to its
Achilles heel of...

Who gave their lives, their blood.
To launch this very great and noble land.
Neither you nor I, could do that task!

Trip On, Trip Up

Lend your voice that seek.
Foot forward and back.
So will that be a fact.

Windfall
You were so loud,
shootin’ off your mouth,
’bout why the world sh-ts on you,
talkin’ old tropes
thought up by filthy dopes,
that never once were proven true.
You stood so proud,
but, man, where are you now?
Living in a poor...

Dopey Clowns
Clowns are usually funny
But one clown that I know
Couldn't even get a titter
Out of the audience so
Feeling very disappointed and

He went to walk off the stage
And he did the splits
When he...

Times Have Changed
Times Have Changed
By Franklin Price
4/21/2017
Times have changed, not for best
Consequences are confusing
Computers have replaced the rest
One has made what you're perusing
Internet replaced the letter
Wired phone and telegraph
Don't know how it gets much better
Makes us grimace,...

You got a mouse in your pocket
Or is this a Mexican stand off?

Compeating against other mis-chief makers
I have no rules!

There's a heaviness in my heart
A plumage a sense of danger

To follow through to do what Jesus do
What he's done the perfect human to mirror
