Killing with kindness
Not the preference of some
Bombs are more deadly

Why promote diplomacy
When weapons of war exist

Surrender to me
Fall to passionate advance
It’s our destiny
Foretold in Heaven above
Ordained by the hand of God
We are meant to be
Soulmates, lovers, companions
‘Til the end of time
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Symbol of greatness
Tarnished by greed and hatred.
A once proud people
Sinks deeper into ruin
While wearing a clueless stare.
They would be appalled
If only they were conscious,
But alas they aren’t
Choosing instead to live lies
Propagandized by tyrants.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
So much to say, though
How…is what eludes my grasp.
Fingers contorted,
My mind drowning in chaos,
The words scream fighting for air.
But alas they choke,
Dying at the hand of a
Tormented poet.
What fate beholds this tortured
Soul. Only God above knows.

My mortality
Something I face every day
Yet I have no fear
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Subtle rays of sun awake
Earthly living things.
Rising up as day does break
Easing out of dreams.
Now the song the dove must sing
Announces the new morn.
Donned in heaven’s golden ring
Ever thankful to be born.

Ambiguity
The lifeblood of politics
Flipping and flopping

Gates of Hell opened!
What lies in store for the damned
Who worship Satan?
His power grows with applause,
His insatiable ego
Thrives hearing his name.
Feeding off the ignorance
Of the cheering hordes
He spews hate with a smile
Leaving fans drooling for more.

Sadness and tears, claim the soul for years…maybe a lifetime, but at what cost?
As mortals, death is the inevitable culmination of life, but this is of little consolation to the irrational minds of man.
We look to eternity…nay we believe that we are eternal to satisfy our fear of the inevitable. Is this not simply the denial of what we humans cannot change. Whether you believe in the Divine or that this is a life of finality is of little consequence. We can never truly know, except by the man made belief in faith.
Look at the broken souls around you, those trapped in a cycle of sorrow and realize that their suffering is, but a test of strength, a test of their fortitude that only they can come to terms with.
It is not our place to criticize or rationalize their suffering, but instead it is our purpose here on earth to sympathize and comfort those in need remembering that we all mourn in our own way.

Fascists among us
In the likes of Donald Trump
And his followers
A disgrace to humankind
Yet they live in denial
Gullibility
Prevailing in this nation…
In this century
Learning nothing in decades
We are destined to repeat
Showing no regret
Is what is most troubling
In this modern day
Racism and hatred live
In their violence and threats
Have we learned nothing
Showing little tolerance
What have we become
But laughing stocks of the world
And fodder for terrorists
