I Can't Believe the Ignorance
By Franklin Price
7/31/2016
I can't believe the ignorance that in our candidates abounds
And how lacking in intelligence their conversation sounds
Both are an embarrassment from this observation made
Both make most our faces turn a deeper redder shade
One of them is subtle learned by years in Washington
The other is quite obvious and neither one is fun
One says what you want to hear whether true or not
The other spouts out stupid things and proves he doesn't care a lot
How is it that we got here, to create this place so wrong?
Through lack of interest by the parties. It's been going on so long
Disinterest in the last eight years; no handshakes 'cross the aisles
Nothing done of consequence, just check the laws and files
Many people thought the thought; nothing we can do of note
Why should we be involved at all, or go to the polls and vote
This has happened many years, longer than we'd like to think
Less voters to the polls each year, took this country to the brink
So much disenchantment with established party ways
That we picked a strange outsider to try to give us better days
He was outspoken from the start. Got media for free
Would make this country great again; the best for you and me
Ran as a Republican though didn't act as such
Enchanted many voters with his golden Midas touch
Brought in many voters; independents, RINOS too
Grasping for a welcome change for anything that's new
He won the nomination though he didn't make much sense
Better an outspoken ignorant than establishment that's dense
Now we have a liar and an ego maniac
I'm sure that either one that wins will have this country's back
Democrat/Republican? USA can't you see?
God is saying "Look up! and pay attention to me!"
They are only humans and both full of flaws!
Puffed up with ego's while creating man's laws.
I am Creator! All will answer to Me!
I am Maker of them, earth and the sea!
I gave mankind freewill to make their own choice.
But if you want wisdom, listen then to my voice.
Mankind is selfish, always seeking their own way.
All who follow them blindly will regret it someday!
Both sides pointing fingers, claiming each one is right.
Causing the whole nation to hate, argue and fight.
We are proving God right with the things that we do.
Romans 3:4 say's we're liars and God only is true!
Republican's, Democrats, Independents. Just 3 blind mice!
Without God's direction, they'll ruin our whole life.
I offer something much better you can do.
Set your clock for 3 am. and say "God speak to you"
Have pen and paper ready to write out your thoughts.
Say " God, I am ready, please speak as you ought?"
You are not Author of confusion, that's what your word say.
There's enough of that right now. Please guide me today!
Be prepared to write down the thoughts that flow from your mind.
Pay attention to words focusing on being loving and kind.
Ask Him for peace to help you feel complete.
For the next 7 mornings, this you should repeat.
Nationalities, cultures, customs
All peoples of our planet Earth
Liberals, Conservatives, Independents
This is my take for what it's worth
Tolerance, sensitivity, understanding
Of other ideas and concepts
Tenderness, kindness, gentleness
Such admirable qualities to be kept
Passionate, Patient, Peacefulness
All belong to nature's creed
Generous, honourable, unselfishness
A hand up to someone in need
Farsightedness, courtesy, flexibility
The die is cast when we're born
Innovator, inventor, pioneer
A leader so passionate so warm
Excellent characteristics these virtues
We seek them all of our lives
A balance derived from honour
The pinnacle for which we strive
They're a Little Bit confusing
By Franklin Price
1/28/2016
They're a little bit confusing
This current body politic
They point fingers, change their minds
And make my stomach sick
Some running to be president
Highest seat within the land
Have experience in everything
Their ignorance is grand
Claim they're not establishment
Yet they know everything
The might relent to tell you why
If you will kiss their ring
They spout and shout and posture
Say how the other ones are jerks
Exemplify the Peter Principle
If elected they won't work
Check out both the parties
And the Independents too
Check out all their records
Find out if there's one for you
If you read the constitution
You'll find the president's a perk
'Cause it really doesn't matter much
If the congress would just work
WE HEARD HIM SAY"
The Peolpe Will make him a DRAW!
"They read off names of
guys liklyto replace him
and he just sat thre like nothing was wrong.
muscle men
Rich men
Crafty cagey men
more atheletic men
Phyc gimmicky men
if he losses he'll
get booged and brawled
out wrested and pumpled
he'll stand tall and will cheat
and be seen as crafty until
he gets his bearings.
he'll redefind the term
Champion.
People shoul invite this guy
to there promotion and give him trophy's.
The day he loses the title
all those guys can stand
and claim him as
the World champion.
It's a two handled paddle it flips
to the handlers favor.
people will become legends by challenging him.
And he won't ever get the
recognition he deserves.
Trophy this guy up in the independents
and give wrestling fans there real champion!"
Visions of unity lesser amounts of discord and cruelty.
I envision 2021 USA above the rise and not sinking.
My visionary burst of New Year of blessed hope.
I see a calm, we’re all in awe.
With raised arms all colors, forgiveness at the cress.
A cure for Covid a giant prayer circle missions birth some more compassionate hearts.
I see in my reality United States of America more united.
I see in my heart of hearts new independents, new liberties.
I see in my mind’s eye rampant dancing in the streets.
I see in my soul Jesus coming yet evermore, closer.
I see Him maybe parting the skies just before sunrise as the light of the world.
Every knee bowed, all tongues confessed.
Mankind, humanity knows not the time Jesus comes back.
But alas, most of my vision for 2021 of United States of America a new blessed hope.

We Americans went to the polls
on November 3rd, 2020, in the middle
of the Covid-19 pandemic, and voted
to either re-elect Trump or replace him
with Biden, in record numbers!
We smashed voting records!
That is extraordinary.
That is democracy at work.
Whatever happens, we should be at peace
with the outcome of this election,
for the sake of civility and unity. We can...
and should be better than what divides us.
Whether the man you're rooting for
wins or loses the presidency, we still
must co-exist in this deeply divided nation
It's up to us to take a collective breath
and turn down the temperature.
Democrat, Republican or Independents,
we're all Americans, and we made
our voices heard on election day.
Whatever happens, we should be at peace
with the outcome of this election,
for the sake of civility and unity. We can...
and should be better than what divides us.
The presidency currently hangs
in the balance as votes are still being counted,
we must let the process play out. Whatever
the result, we must soldier on with our lives.
It's going to be okay when the dust
finally settles. We've all felt the sting
of election outcomes not going our way.
I have, you have. Yet here we all are, still
Whatever happens, we should be at peace
with the outcome of this election,
for the sake of civility and unity. We can...
and should be better than what divides us.

Everyone jumps on the wagon, professing to see.
To feel, to taste, to be enamored and endeared by the man.
He is our hero, they say; I see a distortion, a blurry abnormality.
They see someone to cherish, I see someone who makes me shriek.
What kind of glasses are you using? My cousin asks.
He examines me, starting with my teeth.
I see yellow, brown and gray, I say.
I have no idea how you see red, white and blue in this moron.
I get thrown out of the family. They accuse me of being an independent.
I am overjoyed, because I am an independent.
They begin a chant about independents.
It is disparaging and mean.
I see them more easily now, understanding what went wrong.
No wonder my view had always been drippy and blurry.
I head back to the neon lights of the city,
Remembering now that leaving ensured I would live.
Teenagers
Tired of being harassed
By your stupid parents
Act now
Stuppidly wanted
Pack your bags and your irrigants
Get up off your ass
Get a job
Fill out an application
Pay your own bills
Because you know everything
You know more than me
Your phone bill will sky rocket
I don’t have a clue
I don’t want to see red sirens
Put your big boy pants on
Don’t ask me for any more money
You can pay for your very own $900 rent payment
Don’t forget a roll of quarts for the laundry matt
Use paper plates
Don’t be crying to me
I don’t want to hear it
You are dying for your own independents
It’s time to do adult things
Enjoy
