I'm the believer on
yeah 
I'm the believer  
on the sovereignty, on the almighty 
of God; of one God 
of Creator, of one creator 
 
I'm alive 
I'm believer 
that's why I'm alive 
I'm alive in peace, in love

"I Say To The"
Can you see me? 
Your eyes open but not wide.
Ears finding sound tho the message still hides.
Things we take for granted on the outside, 
easily turn against you. 
Feeling they were forgotten, left behind. 
The home which...Read More

The Cause 

The cause is come...
To live or die
not for those who
sit and wonder why

It’s one for all, and
all for some, or none
for those who sit and cry.

Hang tough!
get off that lazy duff.
It takes more
than off the cuff.

They say,” put...Read More

"The Authoress – The Author"




She parked Silver Lady 
by The Road's side, 
placed the keys in Her pocket
Her hands were warm
Her eyes were cold
She smiled a tight smile
You know, full of passion, full of ire -
Her heart was an inferno,...Read More

Wake my news, take my message away
Communication became a red flag
Bulletins became a blind eye
Abduction, tourism, grief, and murder became my footsteps
Each time I had to open my eyes
Ignorance and intelligence became enemies
The report, reporting, and reporters became advertisements

I try...Read More

Trump's Now the President
(how he got there)
By Franklin Price
1/30/2019

Trump is now the President
Not the cause but the effect
Of  Republicans and Democrats
Refusing to connect

He's not from either party
Though Republicans have the claim
I  think he flipped a coin one day
Called...Read More

It's a turning point in time
A history that tells of lies and crimes
One percent shepherd and 99 blind
Led to the slaughter in a single file line

Be it less or more the same
We must shed our skins, forget the blame
See ourselves...Read More

I am me, is true
I have always been me
I have always been, not me
emotions folded into one

Wine sets mind free
to not be me
exploring contemplations
buried deep

Id tell you a story
Id tell it to you true
I shall you tell stories when I...Read More

Conflicted, dressed like a Santa Claus, Ed ponders the magical delight of Christmas time.   Is it only for Christians, or can it be for him too?  He likes this time of year, people are nice.
Bethlehem, Wisemen, Prince...Read More

Mr. President 
This world is full of hatred, people take their life for granted.
Kids going to school to learn but end up dead beside their books.

You cant fix a certain man...
If he doesnt have a heart.
Its pointless to even try...
He was broken from the start.

Not even a stitch or a bandaid...
You cant patch or repair.
I told you that hes broken...
Theres no feelings in there.

He has...Read More

When my back feels against a wall
I let the tears fall

When I am feeling tiny not too tall
I let the tears fall

When I am in a rut with no one to call
I let the tears fall

When life gets to big...Read More

When we shun all fear
And find our common

Joining our hearts

All are one
One for all

We are
All one
Unity

sway with time…
there are many ways forward…
no reverse…
~~~
way out in the sea
feel its gentle sway… let go…
let go… she’ll drown you
~~~
what will it take
to sway nations to choose peace
no borders… freedom
~~~
sway to life’s rhythm
err its way… many choices
there is one...Read More

The inky black water sucks her in further
As she descends into the black depths of the abyss
Cloying dark swirls cover her head as soundlessly it reaches
Possessing her every inhalation – exhalation - it envelopes her with force
Takes her heart, reaches...Read More

(I belong to the one in who the olden way has joined the new.)

I:- Can we meet In a park not so far away? 
Under an Ancient Oak Tree that bows to sway?
Like children in a meadow we run and...Read More

Little Bee


I've been given a fancy name for my illness
Clinically obese
It may be contagious
Never before seen in my colony
I can't work or lift a finger
Nice to see every one rally around me 
Even the queen bee is worried 
As what...Read More

I’m the awkwardness that fills the room
When death is mentioned, the fear, the gloom,
I’m the look of pity upon their face, I’m the outcast from the human race.
I’m the pills you swallow, no “one for all”,
Blue ones to fly and...Read More

in stillness and contended peace within this very moment here-&-now,
it is very clear that nothing much needs be done;
perfection and ultimate joy is present right now.

Tasting this feeling with all senses of my humanity has motivated me indefinitely
toward it's luster-&-gleam...Read More

Night time creeps up fog like and
Bare with street lights bending
Shapes into focus.
Zombies march to an unheard
Song that have no words or reason.
A march that must be made.

Rows of rows of darkened caves hold within 
Secrets and mysteries of forgotten...Read More

The lean old men in my vicinity
wake to find themselves a day older
then turn away from the mirror to reflect
on their miserable circumstance.
Then they masque their decay with cologne,
snap on their one-piece spandex sportswear
and wheel off to meet their ancient...Read More
