Remnants

Rock salted fields hard-by thwacking sea's
shorelines of wave-shaved boulders
a fluidity that mimics an oceans alien speech.

The fractured artifacts of tribal migrations
roll in the surf as grains of an ancient sand,
there are hints and a sense of raw faiths,
of the obscure paint of submerged visages,
facets only visible
through the eroded lens of a former doom.

On these shifting margins,
insipient nations as naked as any roaming wind
declined amidst their own young bones,
laying down to wither away in exhausted camps.

Rinsed by a ceaseless ebb and flow,
the stonewashed threads of the bygone
suggest landscaped formations
of humanity.

We have seen the rise and fall of the scattered,
their cultures a supposition of burnt offerings,
yet we should also
confess to a towering significance:

one that we estranged settlers
will eventually leave as a jigsaw of watermarks,
or as further innocent signs
of our own barbaric existence.


Premium Member Christmas Tree

"I'm not a Grinch, but would rather see an inch of 
new growth on a tree then to fell it down to please me."
                                                          ~ by poet

Quite earnestly, I would decree
it unjust to cut down a tree
then simply toss it as debris
It saddens me    It saddens me

Trim it with ornaments and light
Praise its beauty every night
But it's dying, not from a blight
I feel contrite       I feel contrite

They're glorified, as tradition
But trees don't give us permission
So, we are... in supposition
A mortician    A mortician

Flocked with snow, their needles die
Drooping branches will certify
Christmas trees, humans crucify
When death is nigh   When death is nigh

Trees place oxygen in our air
Replenishing what we can't spare
Everyone should be made aware
Does it seem fair    Does it seem fair

We destroy them for our pleasure
Enjoying moments at leisure
They do more good than we measure
Nature's treasure    Nature's treasure

Premium Member Political Supposition

Political Supposition
By Franklin Price
1/10/2015

Suppose that a billionaire rich guy
Worth maybe a billion or six
With an ego as big as this country
Saw it was broken and needed a fix

Was willing to use his own fortune
To go where he thought it should be
To have a say in how it should get there
To fund his own presidency

Also suppose that this rich guy
Was already a celebrity man 
With a need to control all around him
Aspirations that could make you a fan

Not afraid to voice his opinions
Say outrageous things right to your face
Do you think such a man could move mountains
To help the U.S. again find it's place?

Would such a man if he made it
Be unable to control or refrain
 To listen because of his ego 
Do stupid things to send us on down the drain?

Do you like where we are at this moment?
Do you think we are where we should be?
The establishment now in the capitol
Have done nothing at all I can see

This rich man for sure is not like them
Is a force that could change everything
They're afraid of this man with the money
Who as an outsider could be the king.

Premium Member Silence

SILENCE

Articulations bound by another’s place.
Maw silenced, no expressions from this face.
Inarticulate, the lingna moves not for Beauty.
Vocal cords caught, a voice sought.
Yet no lyrical, poetic vibrations projected.
Pinna, tympanic membrane never again to be affected?
Silences, preponderates the roar between a reality and memory.
Mnemosyne, perched on high, tells the story.
Mneme gives insight, with insight, no glory.
For all, fear, fear it has come to an end.
No longer a supposition ?, a bestfriend?
To hold out for a touch, may prove too much.
Auricle, not the Oracle, to believe.
The heart blinds, it doth deceive.
Love ?, did the soul ever receive?
It flounders at the bottom of boundless seas.

Premium Member Twas the Night Before Christmas 2054

Twas the night before Christmas in 2054
The only sound being robotic mice on the floor
Our digital wish-lists were hung with ultra-precision
Above the virtual fireplace in pre-supposition
Of the anticipated arrival of a hypothetical being.

The miniature adults were dormant in their pods
As eidolon confiture twinkled their nods
While responsible progenitors with 'Bed Head" applied
Had concluded their thoughts for the long Winter's night. 

Then out on the Astroturf there began such a frattle.
Startled from our beds to witness the sprattle
We opened our security cams to survey the scene
Frame by frame we analyzed what we were seeing.

The spotlight that shone on the new fallen snow,
Made fulsome the green of our false mistletoe,
And, at that very moment a freeze-frame laid bare
A cutting edge sleigh pulled by eight robotic deer.   

Its jovial driver was dressed all in scarlet;
I knew it must be the Santa of myth,
For he was down our chimney with a bag of toys
And lickety-split back without making a noise.

It was over in a twinkle - he was gone  with a whoosh
As you can imagine our confusion was profuse
And although his reindeer were mechanical frames
He recited out loudly and called all their names.

Come Bolter, come Byte-r come  Laser and Algorithm,
Come  Orbiter, Come Thyristor, Come Thunder and Mixem
As he circled the rooftop in a Gigabyte of starlight
He shouted LOL three times- as his sleigh zoomed skyward.

Premium Member American Revolution Reaffirmed

Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.

Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.

But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled resolution for liberation.

War's prosecution, through execution,
Forged dedication for recognition;
Its culmination brought dissolution
And vindication for aspirations.

While extrication brought satisfaction
States' acclamations lacked definition.
This Federation showed imperfections;
Low validation forced redirection.

Deft composition penned Constitution;
Strong propositions scored affirmation.
Hence, generations find inspiration
And preservation their obligation.

       -------------------------

Tell all the people yet to come
Democracy is what we chose;
Their mission's goal: protect it from
All foreign and domestic foes.

IN RESPONSE TO IF---
 
In my conjunction, possible my condition provided that
In my condition, 
Imagine this,
And into the Response to If…  "What if”
Presuming that
Supposing that
As long as, given that, in the event that
And into the Response to If…	

Despite the possibility that, no matter whether.
A condition or supposition.
In my uncertainty, doubt;  What
In  my condition, stipulation, provision,
And into the Response to If…

"There is one  “ if  “  in all this"
Unsure in my complexities, Uncertainties
Unknown bliss

Premium Member Awake

A moment is a minute with a heart, after which 
We come without arched brow, lips pursed 
To breech a breath amidst all stolen air. 
Removing only proof of thought 
For sustenance of life. 
No key, the unlocked door, 
Through which a passageway of lending gifts, 
Leads to open airs of longing space. 
We may catch the passing breath 
Of all those lives blown near,
Leave simple fruit unripened 
Far beyond our scope, be as mortals 
Left to nighttime’s touch upon all seeking souls. 
Scratched by hunger for the need of understanding.
Then our moment closes. The only God we ever knew 
Just blinked one more time.
