Moneylender seems me Pickpockets 
When they lend money on variable rates,
And charge their hidden costs. 
They promised to charge lower rates,
But sometimes their costs are the cost of life.
I applied mortgage on variable rates with...

(an All Poetry feat to walk in 
the poetic feet of Robert Frost)

Bucolic New England, circa
Early twentieth century New England
awash with dynamic harmonic leisureliness,
when much of North America favored rustic

visual whirled wide webbed watercolor

The First Responders

By Franklin Price

6/12/2019


The Day was nine-eleven, the year two thousand one

Twin towers in Manhattan, down before the setting sun

The Valley Of Love And Delight':

An anniversary feting mine birth (date),
a plan we almost didst ditch

A penalty pinned down my conscious,
When a high volt power injected me unsuspended shock,
Unawakened and unconscious,

Heroes are masked, monosyllabic but super.
The rat gangs obviously
are bad news and apparently
loose and reprehensible,
most are irredeemably dead-eyed.

Make-believe peddles a glossy fantasy
until reality accommodates,

Wasted man in a wasted land
He got no hope of survival
Cos his country is highjacked
By corrupt leaders 
Who never care about the benefits

But their own selfish interest
He got no job 
So each moment...

Consider our conscience highjacked by
The author that dwells in the deep of
Our cranium, how we think creates
The burden of our actions.
We conversed back and forth
Walking to and fro 
But when we go knowing
The depths of...

The meaning of Christmas
In our multi-religious world and lack of Christian faith
