Labels separate
Segregation of masses
For the unknowing
Republican, democrat,
Gay, straight, rich, poor, black or white
This life and body
Are but temporary things
Gone in an instant
What is left behind
Spirit and spirit alone
Each one is the same
Void of race, creed and color
Void of all man’s influence
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
We drive in silence
I behind the wheel…focused
Her my passenger
Nothing needs said as we go
We just hold hands and smile
The years have joined us
Love expressed in the wordless
Ever commonplace
It is not that we don’t speak
But that our hearts beat as one
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
To sink or to swim
A choice we make every day
So what will it be
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Hawk soars, doing what it was born to do.
What does he see, but his next meal…a path to procreation,
Nothing personal, it is a simple means of survival…
Prolongation of the species.
Is not man much the same, feeding on the weaker of the species?
In the end he is nothing more than an animal;
Carnivorous in more than his primal appetite,
Feasting on flesh and blood of the lesser to satisfy its needs…
Perpetuation of his own.
We claim to be of a higher ilk, greater than the common beast,
But we fool ourselves, we are nothing more than a bipedal wildebeest
Living up to Darwin’s own theory…
Survival of the fittest.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Eagle circles above
Seeking sustenance from earth
Nature’s perfection

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Today…a fresh start
The living Christ has risen
As a reminder
Each year a chance to return
Him to his sacred namesake
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It’s not about the eggs
Candy or Easter bunny
But resurrection
Forgiveness is its meaning
For all of our mortal sins
Believing or not
Does not detract from longing
For eternal life
Something beyond this body
Into the realm of the spirit
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Reading, writing
Everything and anything to sleep
Standing on my head…no I can’t do that
Tick-tock goes the clock
Listening to the voice in my head
Eager for it to be silent
Staring into the darkness
Secure that it will be another sleepless night
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Religious freedom
Legal discrimination
For modern zealots
Jesus Christ would be appalled
At your narrow mindedness
Constitutionally guaranteed
Why do we need another law
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Look all around you
Don’t you see the Master’s work
Artists perfection
.
