Giving from the heart
Reaping rewards, enriching my soul
All for the benefit of others
This is what I strive to fulfill
Even though I am fatally flawed
Finally I realize my purpose
Understanding what it means to love
Lest I become what I most despise
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Our lives ebb and flow
Between pain and pure pleasure
The wonders of life
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
False security
Fanaticism disguised
In propaganda
Confirming the masses fears
They so skillfully crafted
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Buzzing in my ears
Smell of flowers surrounds me
Humble bumble bee
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Muddled thoughts and sour mood,
So unlike for me to brood.
.
What and why I do not know,
Whilst I wait for it to go.
.
Twist of fate or slight of hand,
Either one would sure be grand.
.
To cheer me up and make me smile
Releasing me from this cursed trial.
.
But alas today it seems to be
Another day without much glee.
.
Clouds of pitch and torrential rains
Dampen my spirit and fog my brain.
.
Sure I know this too shall pass
For gloom this dark cannot last.
.
Until then most sullen I’ll be,
Awaiting the key that sets me free.

Honor among thieves
Missing from our politics
The lies keep coming
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Corrupt righteousness
Acting with omnipotence
Is pure ignorance
Destroying lives without shame
Leaving ruin in its wake
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A vicious mistress
Blood red with sharpness of spine
How thirsty the rose
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Look what I’ve become
Politics made me rigid
Intolerant me
~
Opposing views annoy me
Bringing out my darker side
~
And I have to say
I don’t like it one little bit
It disappoints me
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Freedom of speech hurts
When offered with hate in mind.
Pious hypocrites,
You hide behind religion
Twisting the words of your God!
What would Christ have done!
He’d overturn your tables
And dump your self righteous coins
Like the vile money changers in your book
That’s what comes to mind
In the end, who will be judged
You or those you persecute?
Perhaps a look in the mirror is in order.
