Go in peace
our tommy is empty
our pocket is empty
our food storage are so empty
our fridges is cooling empty
our salaries last too empty
our hopes are running empty
yet at the end of every
church mass the priest
always ask us to
go in peace
go in peace
our economy is leaving us to nothing
our resources is been controlled to nothing
our society is hiding us nothing
our schools are close for nothing
our hospitals are old for nothing
our old are forgotten for nothing
our salaries are good for nothing
yet every church service
the big church auditorium
is filled with confuse people
whose lifes are left for nothing
and still at the end of the church
the priest always tell us to
go in peace
go in peace
yes I wish we could
I wish other side the church door
our life could be a peace full one
I wish our world was peace full
I wish our right was given peacefully
I wish our life was dealt with peacefully
I wish just outside that church door
we could find that very peace
the priest always send us to
at every mass end
go in peace
yes I will
when that very change
that very Cry's
that very hopeless
that very serious important needs
that very suffering
that took us to the church
is eliminated and chase
away from our lands
our communities
our life
then tell the priest
I said that will be the
very appointed time to
go in peace
We take care of the tenants in the buildings where we work everyday
but the owners can't seem to comprehend that we don't make enough pay
as porters, handymen, supers and those who man the front doors
we're just trying to survive in a city which we can no longer afford
We mop their floors, walk their dogs and taxis for them we procure
we fix their sinks, deal with their trash and do so much more
we're not asking for a lot but what they want to give us is a crime
we're just trying to live in the city of which we devote our time
Born and bred New Yorkers or Immigrants from every country
we work hard at our jobs and deserve decent salaries
we came with a contract proposal that was justified and fair
they then came back with some bull s*#t with figures from out of the air
Living in the city in the midst of the struggle and strife
living in the city we're just trying to build a life
doing the best we can with what little we have got
it's now time for the RAB Board to get up off the money pot
Living in the city just raising our families
living in the city with sub par salaries
to the RAB Board we don't want to hear any more of your hype
do the right thing or 32BJ will definitely call a strike
Working two jobs to support me
It is not easy
God gives me grace each day
Great jobs, both are office setting
Sometimes can be stressful
If I let it be
Continuing on working, that's me.
I earn my pay
I do my day
Off to the second job after the first, right away.
Some weekends a time to rest
Relax, enjoy, daily tasks
Business-Minded invest.
Another long day
Working to have what it takes to live nice
Yes, can be overwhelming to
But, I have to do what I have to do.
Great salaries, I can pay my own way
Until this day I manage
All finances balanced.
I thank God, who gives me the strength
Paying my bills, including the rent
Working the two jobs is only temporary.
A nice place, with a nice view
Dependable transportation too.
Paying my tithes
Attending Church
It is worth it, off to work.
I have to do what I have to do.
We all are really going to die, and that is for certain, and is a reality for "Every Living Creature"! The Rich and the poor are going to "Die in the Flesh"!

when all is lost
it hurts depending on family and friends
stuck starting over from the bottom
trying to work back up again
...
with all my past experience
and for a man of my age
being forced to work a kids position
and must settle for miminal wage
i've worked all over the country
done almost everything
high positions--high salaries
now i must live below my means
now im out here hustling
doing all types of odd jobs
pawning everything-hauling straps
whatever it takes not to rob
you would think with all my talent
my resume would speak for itself
but now i realize how relevant
that i must take whatever job that left
and everyone i seen going up
was still movin up on my way down
did'nt think i'd ever be down on my luck
that's why it;s so hard to get off the ground
humm all those so called friends
that i thought had my back
could'nt be found no-where when
i need them to take up some slack
but i geuss the inflation hit everyone
so i really cant get mad
just need to stop sitting here pondering
bout all the good jobs i had
for none of that really matters now
what i'd gathered at the end
is im stuck starting over at the bottom
trying to work my way back up again
I’ve got a pocketful of dreams
And very little else
What I have I give to others
And keep nothing to myself
I spread myself too thin
And tire myself out
Many times I’ve been taken for granted
Of that there is no doubt
Polonius in Hamlet said
“To thine own self be true”
Why live all your life to please others
When they don’t appreciate what you do
Everybody wants to live the dream
But they don’t realise the cost
By striving for what they can’t achieve
The true meaning of life is lost
People trying to outdo each other
Always trying to go one better
Living beyond their means
Never the lender, always the debtor
Material things are no good to you
If there’s no food on the table
People having a job for life
Has now become a fable
Unemployment is at an all-time high
Over-crowding in high-rise flats
Money wasted on the salaries
Of the government fat-cats
Families living in squalor
Trying to make ends meet
No food for the children
And no shoes upon their feet
I saw on the news today
We're going to be paying more for our pills
Soon we're going to find
It’s too expensive to be ill
A country on the bread-line
Run by a band of stuffed shirts
Determined that they’re going to hit
The poor and the sick right where it hurts
The rich are getting richer
And the poor are staying poor
Streets littered with homeless people
While the upper classes live lives of grandeur
The world is in an awful state
Filled with war, poverty and pollution
We must have a wind of change
But I can’t see a solution
It's Time We Had A Party
By Franklin Price
8/4/2017
It's time we had a party, threw the tea into the bay.
I'm only speaking figuratively, this is what I have to say.
The Sons of Liberty arose when England did us bad
Now Congress, through inaction, brings us back to times they had.
England ruled us way back then and ruled without regard.
Were not allowed to rule ourselves, being under thumb was hard.
Now Congress sits upon its thumbs and seldom can agree,
It's time that we the people threw the Congress in the sea.
If, like me, you're troubled, by no hands across the aisle
With Congress doing nothing, to make we the people smile
There's no cooperation between the Right and Left,
Their salaries are seldom earned, it's more than petty theft.
We finally have a president who wants to make us fine.
He wants to make us great again, make congress toe the line.
They'll be damned if that will happen, they only want to get him out
Their unearned pay's in jeopardy, of this they have no doubt.
They blame the Russians on him they're the reason that he won
They know he's not a politician and may get a little done
He wants to save this country from the swamp in Washington
He's not the one that Congress wants; he's not their chosen son.
Mid term elections coming, all House seats are up for bid,
Contact your representative, remind him of what he did.
If he has done nothing to help us to a better place
Work hard to see he's voted out, no more to see his face
The same goes for the Senators whose terms are at an end
Who are blocking any progress for you and me, my friend
Get off their selfish wagons if they have no thought for you
Make them go fend for themselves and find something else to do.
Find ones who for this country care, not one's who power seek
Make your voice heard loud and clear. Do not be mild and meek.
We the people must be interested and boot do-nothings out.
In the end we are the government, that's what the U.S.A.'s about.
Childhood’s no longer a time to chill,
We’ve found ways child’s very child to kill!
Time then to draw a line—
Every child's no Einstein,
S@tire that enough of truth has still.

Topic: humour, childhood, parents
Poet’s note: I see an infant in a cradle. Instead of colourful sundry hangings over the cradle shaft (watching which my generation grew up to be a happy-go-plucky child), I see label-banners that read: JEE, IAS, NEET, GMAT, CAT, GRE, all hurdles that a student has to pass for a bright career attracting good salaries, and his parents filled with aspirations looking over . What a way to raise a child!
where are the voices of the churches in the midst of this economic uncertainty?
where are the spiritual leaders the moral compass of society?
it seems that since the Rev. Dr. M.L. King died so has the fight for social injustice
what I want to know is why the leaders of the church
seem to be sitting on the fence?
they seemed more concerned about building a new church
while their members are in a financial lurch
it's time to restart the movement by speaking truth to those in high positions
to let the Rebuplicans and Tea Party know it's not just them who can make decisions
we need to talk to our youth and tell them of what we've survived and endured
from slavery to the Depression now to this Recession that is closing down doors
they say they want smaller government when in actuality
they want to reduce the numbers of minorities getting decent salaries
for the government be it Fed, City or State is the largest employer
of the Black, Hispanic and Minority middle class structure
now they're going after the Unions trying to get rid of their collective bargaining tool
also reducing or cutting federal dollars to state universities and historic Black schools
how will our children ever be able to afford higher education?
connect the dots and see that it's a process of marketability elimination
WAKE UP MY PEOPLE why can't you see
what the Republicans are trying to do to the middle class families
so what are we waiting for? why have the churches not spoken out?
what are we waiting for? are the churches in denial and doubt?
it's time for the churches to step up to the plate
to speak out against what the Republicans are attempting to propagate
we now have an African-american man as President of this great land
yet the African-american church has yet to publically take a stand
we have not adminsihed those who belittle him and keep trying to take him down
we have not publically supported him nor have we made a sound
what are we waiting for? can't you see the writing on the wall?
if we don't act nor fight back we will all take the fall
what are we waiting for? it's time for the movement to restart
for us to be like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. we need to do out part
Human Trafficking
The human soul is independent
God gave free will. Remember?
Humans want to live freely and well
Nature wants humans to live alone
God gave his words, read the Bible
Then you never will be you, alone
God is your ruler, hand, love, and helper
God’s words are the truth, life, and water
You aren’t alone, you have a friend, eternal
My fate, dark and sad fate, poisoned
I am a victim of psychological experiments
It’s English, ask the BPS. I am destroyed
I needed to be alone. Alone with God
For life and the knowing of the spiritual heart
This is a crime! You cannot live with God!
You can’t keep out the psychology! Never!
You are in the system. You are on a server
You are listed. Observed, monitored, followed
Where are the human rights? Where is the man?
Where are the personal rights? Where am I?
Why don’t I have the right to my life? Why?
And what about data protection? Data protection law?
Why do psychologists make a living from my life?
Who gave me to the psychologists? Who owns my life?
Who deprived me of my right to freedom? Who?
“The government. That. There.” Answered Satan.
“And they're talking about democracy!” Laughed Master Satan.
“You are a victim of human trafficking.” Added a demon.
Human trafficking. Does it still exist?
Hmm. Yes. Works. Unfortunately.
I am a product, a good. Hmm.
“Do you know their salaries?” Asked Satan.
“35k to 100k pounds per capita,” I answered.
“From your life, too,” Said Master Satan.
“They need your life for money,” Noted a demon.
Where is the freedom?
I haven’t
I am a product
I am a victim of corruption, too
And a victim of religious persecution
