Premium Member Hello the House and Senate

Hello the House and Senate
By Franklin Price
10/21/2016

Hello the House and Senate
Democrat, Republican
To all of you in Washington
Every elected woman, man

To incumbents in position
I would like to have a word
I believe from We the People
The inconvenient useless herd

You act as if you're royalty
Ascension put you in that place
I hope you see that isn't true
Your hint; the presidential race

Whether we were right or wrong
We the People brought the Trump
If elected he may bring great things
Or take us to the dump

It's something that the people did
For you blocked him every way
Even his own party said
He wasn't qualified to play

I hope that he's elected
Then maybe you will face 
That we're tired of the establishment
Believe you are a big disgrace

If he doesn't make it
Because you've slandered him at will
Be advised that we the people
Will work to get you off the hill

We're here to take our country back
It's not only for the rich
Work for us, or we'll vote you out
And show you  life can be a *****

Replace your throne with office chair
Put yourself behind the plow
Your welcome to be there for us
Or we'll vote you out, we vow

Who Is Logical

(Colino)
so you say you have no memory 
of the last day you were friends with me 
no link to help remembering 
your brain can't give you anything 

conclusion, you are clueless 
your memory is useless 
and you can't give your own story 
nor pick out bits most surely 

so you can offer nothing 
your brain don't bring a thing 
unaware or emptied 
or with a truth which you're hiding 

yet when I talk of incidents 
the memories I'm recalling 
you claim they never happened 
and from my delusion they are spawning 

you have no argument or alternative 
just denial and diversion 
questioning my sanity 
YET YOU HAVEN'T YOUR OWN VERSION 

But this is my one story,
never one before it, 
a mystery for 14 years 
when I was never talking 

and in that time you stayed confused 
as do all with me removed 
you paint the scene I WAS SENSELESS 
no logic to include

it passed the cause away from you 
handing out bits others chew 
you need them to think as you do 
to be believed as now I'm refused 

I tell them you manipulate 
but I just get ignored 
and even though they read this mate 
it won't impact their thoughts 

(Colino, Dom, Kev)
you 3 have no story 
just denial and diversion 
and people just ignore me 
judgement through perversion 

logically you're logicless 
but all think that that is me 
ignorance is really bliss 
as is stupidity 

people near or close to you 
are stood to close to see  
whilst everyone around the world 
see differently with ease 

you have no memory or logic 
and claim delusion is with me 
to those not involved it's obvious 
you're just gaslighting me 

*for Colino, Dom, Kev, and all the people believing them blindly judging me, 
a person to whom you never speak yet judge assuredly.
they gaslight and manipulate, getting you as they got me 
don't tell me my logic's gone, where is theirs, it's them you all believe 
and Susan isn't validation, she knows as much as you, 
like you she seeks from them, and like you don't come to me. 

How rude to call me a lying delude 
it's my life, and you weren't there 
reality for me but just a tale to you 

no response needed

you judge me without me involved 
I've no influence on what resolves
from now on I AM NOT INVOLVED 
with contamination they evolve

Contar Africa

Tis of a truth about Africa,
An idea seducing my ear at the eventide:

He's a dwarf
Bearing a gigantic burden,
Dazed by weariness,
Betrothed to heaviness.

Diverse folks standing beyond the margin,
Admonishing him:
'Move,Move,harder,harder',
You can get here,if not faster',
Come,ho!,slower,slower,
Strangle the motion,trials're better.

But could he move?
The burden stayed his leg:
You want a proof?
Ask the bird!

He being a cubits above the earth,
His burden 105 cubits preparing his death.
He bears the burden 
Or his burden bears him:
Burden constituted with junks:
A Suitcase bearing an octupus lung.

Tell Africa,
Even say to Africa:
'Unburden yourself:
Put down the burden,
Untie it's knot yourself,
(For if another hand does,you'll be in power bed-ridden.)
Search it's content,
See if all are gold,
Shake off the useless,
Consciously re-tie the load.
Then,bear on the burden,
In decades,you'll get to the margin.

But if you be blind
Still,that counsel you'll not heed.
You'll remain in street.

I Wont Say Goodbye

We have had so much time spent with each other
I can’t even think of having another lover
From the present to the distant past
Our future is certain lets make it last
You want your freedom Ill tell you your wrong 
From the tears you shed I know what we have is strong

So just give me one more try
I’m lost without you I wont’ say goodbye
Tell me you love me look me in the eye
Our love is eternal I won’t say goodbye
Without you I will surely die
I want you forever I won’t say goodbye

Let’s forgive each other for the lies said
Talk about our problems with a clean head
Separate and we’ll live forever sad
So resolve everything and never go to bed mad
Remember the good times like when we first met
Start fresh from here and have no regret

So just give me one more try
I’m lost without you I wont’ say goodbye
Tell me you love me look me in the eye
Our love is eternal I won’t say goodbye
Without you I will surely die
I want you forever I won’t say goodbye

Let’s move on and not list page after page
Of he said she said and useless rage
Tell the truth with one heart
You know for a fact we can never live apart
Will you help me to bury it in a bottomless hole
Because if we break away we’ll only have half a soul

Premium Member A War Reprised

My foe is back
Eight years later
Still tracking footprints
Still throwing shade
Chief hater
Slinging grenades in stacks
Click boom
Lurking like a swamp gator
Cold blooded
No tact
No soul
Just impact

Takeover in phases
Careers torched
Dreams scorched
You hateful witch
Buy
Destruct
Sell
Demonic greed
On a platinum shelf
You torch what you touch
Then grin to yourself

You will never understand
Here take this
It’s useless
Like rebellion in a Fortune 500
Fruitless
Like screaming in a soundproof room
Mute this

But I can't
I won’t
So I do this
Sick with the heat of it
Haunted by the truth of it
Dragging myself
Down this road
Again

No map
No justice
No righteousness


Useless

Useless

Keeping what I have inside to hide my true self for others to benefit without throwing a fit 'cause I'm useless and getting sick of it....
useless is a new feeling like an empty thought revealing to people that 
I am less then them to make them feel good about themselves...
high on their pedestal like trophies on shelves earned by greatness 
I don't even have a medal...though I'd settle for pats on the shoulder...Or smart ass commendings...
but I am useless...my pen feels my pain...but i remain my strong witted ordain....
sleep the same and stay a sucker in the life game...
i am useless like a marine without a gun...nothing to show for my gain...
closer to my own head fame....RUN!...
I wear my war face outside to hide my battling pain inside....
bite my tongue and take the strikes of a tongue lashing being insulted 
destroying my strive driven pride...intelligence...I seem not to possess my heart is filled with stress hanging my head in shame 
wearing a hood to hide my face for I am useless...and I'm to blame cause I let it happen...I am useless and show that I cannot be counted on...but I struggle strong and will 'til my life is gone...invisible gun..BANG....my head can no longer hang...dang...what am I to do now...it's a damn shame...but I am to blame...I am useless like a gun without a soldier...as I mature much older my shoulder becomes brittle...mind shrinks little...hop becomes a wiggle..shakes become worst.....useless like liverwurst...like dirt I am walked on looked upon like I'm incompetent...but I am content at being useless...like steak to someone with no teeth...eyes open to disbelief...for a brief second...listen to me when I am useless

Premium Member Farewell Old Friend

‘Cream Puff’ you were my faithful companion for many years
I recall you were a birthday gift from an old school friend 
And I adored you from the moment I held you in my hands
As a teenager I remember taking you with me to my first job in London
You sat on my bedside table and were a constant reminder of home
In 1989 I moved in with my fiancé and he loved you too
He decided you would be a wonderful ‘guard dog’ for our car
For 27 years you sat proudly on the dashboard of every vehicle we owned
Over time you started to show signs of old age
The sun tanned your skin and your once bright coat faded
About five years ago disaster struck and your ‘brains’ burst out of your head
I tried to perform surgery on you with my needle and thread
But it was useless as you were so old and frail 
So we left you sitting quietly in the car enjoying your twilight years

Yesterday tragedy struck as we were travelling a long a pretty country road
I was gazing at the azure sea whilst my hubby was at the wheel
Suddenly the next thing I knew you were sitting on my lap
My hubby had picked you up and thrown you to me to see if I could help you
I could see that there was nothing that could be done to save you
Your aged skin had got so thin it had totally disintegrated
Little wooden beads had burst out of your bottom and legs
There was just a little pile of wooden beads where you once sat
Tenderly I scooped you up and placed you in a plastic bag
We then spent a long time picking up your insides piece by piece
As they were scattered like ashes all over the front seats of the car 
Now I know the time has come to finally say adieu

Goodbye Cream Puff
A treasured companion for over 40 years
You will be missed by us all

Premium Member Where To Find

Where To Find ?

           Where to find my lost love,
             so many years ago I left behind !
                     Now with empty mind in vain
                        trying to rewind forgotten past !

             Being self - obsessed 
           I left my beloved at a nook,
           now it’s useless to look back
             on search of  bygone days.
             Throughout my restless life
             I couldn’t sense any peace.

         Two morose eyes haunted me,
           I couldn’t let it go.
            Those dreamy glances embedded in mind !
               I have left behind my beloved .
                Where to find my lost love ?

              Amorous flow of nectar
                 secreting silent tears drop by drop
                  yielded a pearl of dolor.
                      Me alone in despondency 
                           lamenting in my empty nest.

                 How could I return at her door step !
                    Where she escaped ! 
                     I do not know, where to go ?
                   Where to find my lost love ?
                  How to be back to my beloved ?

Movie Reality

Sometimes actors play a role
Which touch us to our very soul
Even though it is not real
Something deep down makes us feel
That we can associate
With the part that they create
And the movies that we watch
Can ignite us like a torch
Because some things that we see
Brings up our past history
One that leaves me lots of scars
Is the world famous Wizard of Oz
The characters are memories
Of the way that he left me
The tin man has no beating heart
You took mine right from the start
Leaving me no way to care
Because my heart’s no longer there
The scarecrow has no way to ponder
All his thoughts just seem to wander
That’s the way I feel when
My thoughts of him start up again
Asking why my useless brain
Let him cause me so much pain
The lion isn't strong but weak
Because his courage he can’t seek
That’s the image I showed him
 My courage can’t show up again
Every time I took him back
I had another “weak” attack
Dorothy was all alone
She just wanted to get home
To her loving family
There was no home left for me
The love just seemed to disappear
I couldn't find it anywhere
The wicked witch was just pure evil
Trying every day to steal
The love out of the purest hearts
The way he tore mine all apart
There’s one portrayal that I can
Connect to as I take your hand
The wizard saved Dorothy's friends
Bringing her home in the end
The way you went through every length
To give my heart back all it’s strength
My courage and knowledge I have sought
To regain ever since you brought
A loving home back in my life
Making everything alright

Change

V.1: I want to change the way I feel
I want to change the way I deal
With these sorrowful moments
With these anguished sentiments 

Pre-chorus: I need help sometimes…
I want you to understand me 

Chorus: We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn

V.2: I want to feel like I’m happy again
But, I feel like the same way I’ve been 
With these people and reminisences
With these barriers, I want to be free from my inner senses

Pre-chorus: I need help sometimes…
I want you to understand me
I’m so tired and wretched with these useless rhymes
I want You to set me free…

Chorus: We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn

Bridge: You need to let go of me and move on
Before the evening or before nightfall becomes the sun
We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn

Chorus: We all need to change
It’s not really strange
We all need to change
You need to let go of me and move on
Before the afternoon or before the dawn

V.3 Farewell to you and your feelings of doubt
Thank you for staying true and staying out of my route
I dwell in Your presence of love and light
I’m out of the darkness and farewell to the night
We all need to change for the better
What’s worse is being a regretter 
Who has been a victim of this
Numbness and helplessness
