Indifference ineptitude the soul of sorrow
I see here.. In this media led world 
Laughter is bought, sentiment directed
Mankind in limbo with value de-selected....

Terrible Turpitude and Moral Ineptitude

After I did further inspect, 
You are absolutely correct; 
Terrible turpitude;
Moral ineptitude; 
Trump has mind of small insect.

A gaggle of wild geese flies in the bright morning sky,
quickly the bald, smirking hunter raises his rifle high;
but in his ineptitude he hits a different target instead, 
his old hunting buddy resting peacefully in the shade....

I had a second beer, oh dear,
But now I’ve made it home.
Yet what is very clear, I fear,
Is I can’t write a poem.

My brain is not in gear, so here
Is all that I’ve composed.
Whatever does appear, I fear’s
Ineptitude exposed....

in our nest of art
it is all fancy
we embrace;
it is also false reality
that huge hug
with insane society
her gross ineptitude
& multiple symbols
of gentle madness
the eagle soars
above it all; & flies
to the limitless origins....

Legs heavy 
From running in place
A life that’s going nowhere
Holds no future
And as others pass me by
I’m stuck
My dash has no scenery
Simply the same omnipresent trees
And I swear they have faces
To laugh at my ineptitude
When will I move on?...

Platitudes of gratitude
       reveal a shallow attitude
  
     A plentitude of finger food
       does not result in pulchritude

     Multitudes of semi-nudes
       enhance a life of turpitude

     Inaptitude and incertitude
       pave the path of ineptitude...

folly
                    senseless, ignorant
          neglecting, sacrificing, ignoring
ineptitude, foolishness, knowledge, sagacity
           prevailing, imparting, acquiring
                  precocious, intelligent
                               wisdom

There is a head game
that none of us wants but
it's there anyway.

There is a head game
that interferes with what we are trying
(in all of our fumbling ineptitude) to say.

There is a head game
that distracts us from quality of life
to
the quantity of stuff for which we must pay.

There is a heart game
that giggles and grins and cares....

I wanna go that way....

There is a poignancy in boyhood...
The high voice, and ineptitude,
The yearning to be free of mother's strings;
The awkwardness of age fifteen, to wit
A boyish sullenness.

There are some things lost when manhood gained -
And mothers cry on thinking.

The candles sometimes drop their flames;
The lions lose their tails.
The stars come out all crooked;
Some ineptitude prevails.

The wine jugs might have missing tops;
The dreidels look all right.
The flaws won’t matter, hopefully,
When loved ones take a bite.

For Chanukah’s the time when I
Roll out that dough and bake,
My grandma’s cookie cutters
And her recipe at stake....

Apple orange grapes
Murder plunder rapes
All and sundry things
Empty vessel rings
Sunset evening dawn
Easy leasy loan
Tortuous treacherous path
Fresh and fragrant bath
Crazy curious crowd
Town talks aloud
Dizzy merry-go-round
Folks tradition-bound
Catchy cute couplet
Astute images inflate
APOSTROPHIC INTERLUDE:
Flow !flow! thou vacuous word
Thou are not so absurd
As man's ineptitude...

On trains that travel through tunnels of ambiguity.
The motion of the wheels meld into the subconscious.
A commuter routine of blood sweat and ignorance.
Outside fragmented windows stand the borders of disease.
A chaotic jumble of envy and spiritless ineptitude.
Roll into the station whilst time grinds still.
Tickets to oblivion checked by the conductor of greed.
End of the line stretches into infinite divergences....

Bitterness sufficiently in my soul
Lack of tolerance for ignorance, and ineptitude
Self-centered in nature uncovers hidden ulterior motives
A sad reality for the world
Lack of trust
Lack of Honesty
Lack of Genuine kindness
How do we survive?
Should we have faith when deception and misrepresentation are everywhere?
Can we overcome doubt and disbelief in the human race?
Without a glimmer of hopefulness
Who knows what the future will bring?...

I do not Offer Gratitude
By Franklin Price
4/4/2017

I do not offer gratitude
For Congress that is crass and crude
Here for the people they allude
Elephant and Ass with attitude

Fill seats with much ineptitude
With party lines they are imbued
Not offering much latitude
They're inconsiderate and rude

Spout speech with boring platitude
Careless words from mouths exude
Politically the truth elude
As the storied king not clothed but nude...

I lie in a bed of intimidating despair, 
wallowing in sheets of hopelessness, 
blanketed by overwhelming failure, 
pillowed by lack of empowerment. 

I wrestle with unachievable dreams 
that unfold into realistic nightmares, 
bleeding into my awakened spirit, 
rendering me exhausted and ruined. 

Burdened by the weight of ineptitude, 
I remain shackled to merciless anguish, 
unable to reclaim the bold courage 
required to face an un-repenting society....

Inability, so gross in the making
Not just inadequate, completely lacking
Extreme, nothing and a zero in ranking
Poor hand or mind in a show so ground breaking
Thinkers, yet need one another for using
It’s interest in nothing that makes it oozing
Talents, skills and knowledge are complementing
Unable thumb still leaves the others working
Diversity in skill isn’t all rounding
Even so, knowing limits is good standing...
