Long Pull the wool over your eyes Poems

Just suppose – a hierarchy rules this shadowland
Pulls the strings of governments, not walking hand in hand
Amend our constitutions, to suit their future plans
Throw Christians to the lions, as Lucifer demands

Just suppose – this world...

courtesy scammer with consummate flair
rowdies in peanut gallery doth jeer
raucous insult to injury outware
any remaining shred,
where peace of...

Back in '63,
I remember vividly,
only 6 years old,
and watching our
black and white tv,
showing Lee Harvey Oswald
being escorted down the hall,
handcuffed and under arrest,
when out of the blue
Jack Ruby walks up and
shoots him in the chest,
I...

It was from the early 1800s
This phrase was first used
I'm sure it has other meanings
So please don't get confused
If your understanding of the term
Was just like mine

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why
Some people can't look you in the eye
Seems like the more that time passes by
The more apt people are to lie

I won’t apologize
For what I said
It wasn’t a lie
Even if it causes you
To forever say goodbye
I won’t apologize

I won’t apologize
Remember what you said
“You can’t help how you feel”
And yes for me
Those feelings are so real
I’m...

We watched Frida Kahlo 
with our backs toward the rice fields
The monkey fits tightly to her breast, 
her right breast. A parrot 
on her left shoulder; two chatter-boxes that mimic
What if the wolves pull our...

You’ve got me playing your silly game
For far too long that I can’t remember
When it first began
You’ve won every time
But now I’m calling the shots.

Conservatively Conservative
Liberally liberal
By Franklin Price

Conservatively conservative
Liberally liberal
Does anyone know just what that means
Or don't care have gotten full

Full of all the puffing
And the posing from each side
Look closely how you're thinking
Where your loyalties reside

Don't blindly...

An idiom for you
An idiom for me
It’s just an expression,
a message, you see.

Silence is golden.
Trouble comes in three.
Each to his own taste.
The powers that be.

A rock and a hard place.
Bat out of Hell.
A pig in...

To float to unsung destinies
To pull the wool out milky eyes
and sell the secrets hurting us
to buy ourselves naive surprise
It's this you freely bloom today
It's this and all your smiles
which dress up even the simple...
