Lady dragon was the adjudicator, a ring of flames encircled her face 
Haughty huffle-winks were egotists and didn’t listen to her rules
declaring, ‘Your rules...

An extant place, some say a mythological place that only exists in the minds of fools. Nonsense! I have seen it with my own eyes. It is an intangible land that only grants access to...

One an angel, one a devil,    
Two so different, two so young,    
This ain’t love, this is so wretched,    
Came those hateful words, from the priggish...

Having an inflated ego is detrimental to living a good life
It's a self-serving trait that can lead to tragedy and strife
One who's overconfident is arrogant, his hubris is rife
Overplaying his hand will cut like the...

I join my fellow travellers 
On the road to Damascus 
The guilty the ignorant the egotists 
With our ashen faces 
And threadbare skin 
Confined and self absorbed 
We walked mostly in silence 
But some dare...

How does a well dressed man differ from a dog?
It will come to you, if you give it a chance!
Time's up -  A well dressed man wears a suit,
a dog - just "pants"!

If there's...

Time isn’t static; it’s always dynamic.
The flow of time can’t be reversed.
It can only resolve certain issues.
It soothes pain and heals many wounds.
March with it, or else you’ll trail behind.
Does 'Time' really decide?

Government by the People
By Franklin Price
2/4/2018

Government by the people

She was the first here to welcome me,
Our beloved sweetheart, Linda-Marie
With praise she offered effervescently
She encouraged my entre into poetry

She was open and caring with purity of heart
Her sincerity was evident right from the start

Madness stirs their passions...
Such dregs have stacked the deck.
Ideas resurrected from the dustbin
Of History... make bold their disrespect.
Ideologies of egotists and lunatics
Prey now upon the weak.
They salivate their malcontent...
It is wry carnage that they seek.

of reality which is okay with me.

Though they say they're the bestest of the best,
they've got a trait I...

A conscious effort
by the constrained
creates nothing.

Devoid of inspiration,
enraged egotists find 
fault in selfless pursuit of
glory.

Hampered by the
infancy of others,
jettisoned memories of
ketamine disassociation allow
lies to fester.

Myopic interludes of 
nihilistic pleasure
only serve to
profundicate the 
questionably sane
