My Declaration of Independence To Addiction and the Persons I Affected
"I PROUDLY PROCLAIM:

I did it for me! Not of guilt, nor shame.
A simple desire to end Heroin's evil reign!
For once in my life, I gave "Change" a fair chance.
Because one can only move forward, when willing to advance.
With each new passing day, life gives itself...

Declaration of Independence
Alone in the night gazing at the beauty
of a celestial masterpiece yet untouched by the cover of cloud,
an unrelenting silence is interrupted by the insistent ticking
of an old grandfather clock in the parlor.

A candle with a dual wick, 
rests upon a table made of knotty...

Declaration of Independence
By Franklin Price
11/17/2020

Not yet were we a country
Not yet the U.S.A.
England was not listening 
To what we had to say

Had no control of what we did
Not represented for our tax
We declared our independence
A short summary of the facts

Today we find ourselves again
At a...

Declaration of Independence
Take your filthy strands 

of reasoning, shedding 

off-white from my hair. 

I claim this fistful of universe

as my own. Let my mind expand

and dance, unfettered in the fall

-in glory-

Let the rain cleanse my faith again

as I sing to a god 

I know but have never...

I Wrote the Declaration of Independence
I got tired of being called a hillbilly from the sticks.
So I built a time machine and traveled back to 1776.
I intended to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
This was a fantastic historical moment that needed my attendance.
But my time machine landed on...

A Woman's Declaration of Independence
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
am a wild stallion
Tossing my mane
I can withstand the rain
Running for miles and feeling no pain
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
am a female houdini
and borders and fences
can never keep me in
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
am a woman
who pays no heed to the controlling nature of men
I am the wind that travels everywhere and no...

Premium Member Dissecting the Declaration of Independence
Dissect is a no-nonsense word, meaning to cut up, to cut open, to examine in detail.  My first recalled encounter with dissecting took place in my high school biology class where we dissected a frog.  That was more than 50 years ago, and...

The Declaration of Independence

~~~~Drafted by Thomas Jefferson~~~~~

Tomorrow is Independence Day!

But his hometown, refuses to honor him any longer.
He once owned slaves, so in our history, is a goner.

Do people think he beat them or what?
The seething, Dog Whistle crowd thinks it's not kashrut.

So look for...
