Teach me if you must
Lessons like this are hard learned
Bloody and brutal
I expected nothing less
For having used my free will

We Have Forgotten
We have forgotten!
The New Deal has been destroyed
And we don’t see it.
Social Security and
Medicare under attack.
Cleverly disguised
By the “old standby”…tax cuts
They try to bankrupt;
Forcing the extinction of
Our long beloved safety nets.
When will we wake up!
The middle-class is dying,
While privilege thrives.
When we are homeless and sick
Maybe then we’ll remember.

Shhh, Can You Hear It
Shhh, can you hear it
The beating of your own heart
Is it not soothing
Like a classic masterpiece
Chasing silence to be heard
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Under Attack
Christianity…
Some claim it’s under attack,
An imagined war.
Practice whatever you please,
But don’t force it on others
I guess church and state
Are only kept separate
When it’s convenient.

Thirst Stinging My Throat
Thirst stinging my throat;
Dust and grime choke me of air.
Breathing is labored.
Thirsting for an oasis
I will drink sand to survive.
Could this be blind faith,
Utopia found in sand;
Trusting you’ll be quenched?
Isn’t this what religions
Teach is the only path to God?

Feet Cut and Blistered
Feet cut and blistered
Gravel road their nemesis
The journey of life
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Amongst the Chaos
Amongst the chaos
A tiny voice can be heard
The voice of reason

Life Altering Change
Life altering change
Whether for better or worse,
Unavoidable.
At times they can bring on tears
Whilst at others there is joy.
Perhaps perfection
Does not come without its pain
Though perfect it is.
Everything’s as it should be
In the eyes of the Divine.
We are intertwined
With others on this journey,
Friends, kin and strangers
Struggling to understand.
Who would I be to judge them?
Should I not just love,
Embracing their inner light
And divine essence.
Honoring them as sacred
As I wish to be honored.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Austerity
Anger erupting like Nisyros
Unemployment and suicide on the rise
Still the Troika attacks
Testing the fortitude of the masses
Edging them ever closer to destruction
Reeling from each blow
Individuals and businesses collapse
Til the vultures come in for the scraps
Your country could be next on their hit list
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A Glimmer of Hope
A glimmer of hope
All it takes to change the world
…Sparks can cause a fire
