It's Time
By Franklin Price
11/24/2020
It's time that we moved forward
Past the days of Donald Trump
He came and opened up our eyes
And kicked us in the rump
He was not of Washington
Not of pseudo royalty
Fought the swamp, for what it's worth
Worked to make the people see
Was doomed from the beginning
They harassed him from the start
He did well on what he promised
As they were tearing him apart
The media and Washington
Found that Russia would not do
They moved on to impeachment
More expense for me and you
Trump could'nt keep his mouth shut
He fought back at every turn
Not what he said, but how he said it
Something he would never learn
The economy was better
Unemployment rate at best
Stock market breaking records
Then came the Covid test
A third world war was on us
He shut us down to fight the fight
Trump was blamed for all bad things
Even for this newest blight
He organized to get a vaccine
In a record breaking way
And organized for distribution
Now the vote has made him pay
The left encouraged Mail-in votes
Could be used to change the tide
Used to change the numbers
By the Democratic side
Election night, Trump was ahead,
At two declared he'd won.
Not so fast, the mail's not in,
Not over 'til it's done
Blocked from the counting houses
May not have had a valid count
The President took legal steps
To assure the right amount
All of this was no surprise
The left had done it from the start
If not underhanded cowards,
Would have stabbed him in the heart.
It's now time that it's all over
Biden's total count has won
Both popular and College
Trump is over, said and done
It's just as well it happened
For if Trump had come around
The left side would have rioted
Burned buildings to the ground
Hope we recognize the U.S.A.
Just four short years from now
We the people need to make it work
Not to kiss their rings and bow
I love Politics
And have been watching in
Confusion and Amazement
At Donald Trumps election as President
The first address he gave
Was 1 with a rather conciliatory tone
Expressing a will to govern for all
But it seems to have brought Riot's
And lawless to the streets
From opposition supporters
Who profess he is divisive
If Trump has lost the Election
Would his supporters have marched or rioted?
Or would they have just accepted the result
And moved on
The Man has yet to take office
But seemingly will never be given a chance
Remind you of man named Obama
Hard to succeed when no 1 wants
1 to succeed or puts aside personal preferences
For the greater good
Remember
To register
Now or before October
So you can legally vote
In November
If you are a U.S. Citizen
Over eighteen
Be a smart voter
Write a colorful sticky note
Please scribble the date
To VOTE
For a high-quality candidate
For a good and reasonable person
For a law-abiding citizen
For a great and respectable leader
Not for a fool, a faker or a liar
Our lives depend on it
It’s our duty. Voting will benefit
Our beloved country
And our dear family
It’s our constitutional rights
To join the fights
Please remember
To vote in November.

Today of all days I am dividing my tears into sections,
With each moment, with each tear drop and snuffle I makes
The paper tissues will always thread,
crumbling signs some mishaps in life
surely, cannot be mended;
Yesterday was your birthday,
Today it's my revelation, of life, (my life)
It seems lately, that I have taken a new route,
This road definitely is not paved with gold.
God truly bless heroes; he never fails me yet!
But, for sure I have encountered some obstacles,
Empathy, or just plain stupidity,
I am an empath, I never thought I was this kind of person
As we grow older, it's so true that we see life in a different setting
the lows, the in-between and the high moments.
My so intensity, emotions, as they rise,
and as they drop to low frustrations tolerance, I see red
Today, I need my ginger shots: who cares if it is unhealthy?
Today of all days I am dividing my tears into sections,
With each moment, with each tear drop and snuffle I makes
The paper tissues will always thread, crumbling signs of
some mishaps in life that surely cannot be mended.
Does anybody care about the upcoming presidential election this year?
Sometimes, we cry about things that should be
Sometimes, we cry about things that should not be
Sometimes, we cry about things we thought would be,
but never in our life time. And when they happened, we
were overwhelmed to the point of joyful tears. Such
tears became the source of an inquiry from my son.
Very sincerely, my son once asked me, “Dad. Why is he crying”? My son had seen an African American man, crying at a 711 Store.
This happened on the night of a historical election in America.
An African American had just become the new President of the United States, a first occurrence in America. And my son, who was 31 years of age, saw this senior citizen crying. He wanted to know from me the reason why. I said to my son that I understood the reason for the tears.
I said to my son that the African American man that was crying has lived through a lot of American history, and experienced much discrimination, injustice, and in some places in America, racial hatred. Perhaps he was overwhelmed with the reality of an African American President in his life time. He knew that it would happen ‘someday’, but not this day on the second Tuesday of November, 2008.
As if I had not answered his question, my son asked me a second time, “But dad, why is he crying? Will he be invited to the White House for dinner?” I told my son that it wasn’t likely that he would be invited for dinner at the White House.
Although also African American, I had not voted for the new president elect, and have views vastly different from the crying man. But I understood, because I had walked in similar shoes as did that gentleman. I also felt and understood that no manner of explanation would make my son understand the crying, because the two of them walked in different shoes at different times; and the times had now changed. At least for my son, this time, the tears were not easy to understand.

The Cost of Nigeria governance
I remember the crys of the youth
I remember the agony of our sisters
I remember how we die so young
I remember the poverty on our streets
I remember yes I remember
I remember the ugly jungle justice
I remember the poor ghettos
I remember the police brutalities
I remember yes I remember
I remember our suffering mother
I remember our sick fathers
I remember the works and no pay
I remember the empty hospitals
I remember the single prostituting mother's
I remember yes I remember
The cost of Nigeria governance
I remember the bad roads
I remember the corruption
I remember the lies and deceit
I remember what they promised us
I remember yes I remember
I remember how they were close to us at the election period
I remember they are easy to see
I remember now that they are now cover
With dark tinted glasses
I remember now they are so busy
That our right must wait
I remember yes I remember
I remember the sick children
With no money for treatment
I remember how our school are
Closed cos they didn't pay our teachers
I remember yes I remember
I remember how we are killed
On every protest
I remember the young gone so soon
Just for standing up for there right
I remember our bleeding mother's
I remember the childs on the street
Yes I can't forget
Yes I can't forget
Cos Is not easy to forget
The cost of Nigeria governance
Hillary is cooked Bills time not overlooked
Their crimes way overbooked
Democrats and Republicans alike
Caught on a barbed hook
Americans don't need another look
The Clinton Foundation indicted like crooks
We didn't hire any of them to cook the books
I'm sure they all shook when they took a look
Through all of their lies
They have worked up like spies
America so wise
You’re all guilty in her eyes
We are not willing to compromise
All along they were planning our demise
While the big bad wolf hides in disguise
Mueller playing both sides of the fence
If I was Obama
I would be looking for a good defense
He left so much corruption in his wake
Most Americans knew he was a fake
The collusion and election tampering
Heating up like a red hot injection
Looks like Trump is taking this country
In a whole new direction
America's complexion is clearing up
Like he promised
With plenty of protection
From these kinds of infections
Pedophilia from Washington to Hollywood
Running scared up to no good
Across the board, America is floored
Trump screaming it will not be ignored
He will cut through it like a mighty sword
Oh Lord I pray each and every day
You clean up our government
Who would act this way
So much has been left to decay
While all of it on display
Tried to do it the Bush's way
But they let our towers fall that day
Just like Bush Sr. before to start another war
To line their pockets even more
Uranium One has come undone
The evil that has been spun
The democratic party on the run
It would appear that many have much to fear
Because the end is very near
They have bet it all on their careers
It's clear that politics in Washington
Have been nothing but a big smear
Set to ignite and just disappear
Pay to play the shadow governments way
Should be dealt with in a very public display
Taking all of Satan's power away
From those who would betray
Americans by lying about why they want '
To round up our guns
Wake up America
They're not playing for fun
While they spun their awful run
This is to let them know crimes against America
That won't come undone
It's we the people that will have won
Shadow government is all done
Our province's premier resigned yesterday
After his liberal government had their way.
Making deals with Ottawa behind our backs
Then wondering why his integrity we attack.
When asked why he's stepping down after nine years
No honest answer came , just vagueness appears.
Not because trust from the masses and his own party he lacks,
He's just run out of ways to stab us in the back.
Now he'll take the hefty pension allotted to him
After making sure the rest of our wallets remain slim.
Goodbye Mr. Campbell, you won't be missed,
Can you see the finger sticking up from this fist.

Sometimes when you hit the hard rock
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You must bounce back
Never leave without a tough fight
That’s the correct thing to do. That’s right
Always remain calm, positive, valiant and defiant
The sun, moon and earth are incredibly resilient
Never stop fighting until the last breath
Eat and drink well and protect your health
Your heart is beating for a good reason
Regardless, please enjoy the new season
Do not give up and never stop living
Keep on fighting; the sun is still shining
Many times when you hit the hard rock
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You must bounce back

George Washington chopped down a tree as a lad
Then told his dad that he'd been bad
With the stroke of a pen, Thomas Jefferson kick-started a nation
Touting revolution every so often with his Declaration
Andrew Jackson had a penchant for whiskey
Native Americans found him way too frisky
Abraham Lincoln was thin but brave
Reunited the nation and freed the slaves
As a child Teddy Roosevelt was always ill
But as President he led the charge up San Juan Hill
His cousin Franklin took over in the Great Depression
And then three times won reelection.
JFK and Jackie ushered in 'Camelot'
'Til in a Dallas motorcade he was shot
Ronald Reagan demanded the Soviets end their stall,
"Mr. Gorbachev, please, tear down that wall!"
Bill Clinton said, "It's the economy, Stupid!"
Before he was cut down by Monica and Cupid
And now Mr. Trump draw lines in the sand
Saying, "Let's make America great again!"
And did you know that Yankee Doodle preferred apple strudel
To a leftover dish of cold, wet noodles?
Hope you've enjoyed this reprise of Presidential history
Which to the majority of Americans is an absolute mystery
P.S. Rumors have it that Yankee Doodle is considering a
comeback run for POTUS in the 2020 election.
His slogan reportedly will be, "Make America
handy with Yankee Doodle Dandy."
The "Me-too" movement has already
dialed in death threats ...
