Beautiful liar
Using your looks to deceive
Deadly black widow

Curiosity
And fear thrive in the darkness
Weighing on our minds
Which one will we succumb to
Depends on which path we take
But do tread lightly
For in darkness evil lives
Waiting to punish
Those that dare to taunt it
For their own entertainment
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Neither ignorance
Nor arrogance are virtues
A raving madman
Still in the end he’s human
The Anti-Christ he is not
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Wasted on the young
I know because I was them once
Stubborn, invincible, I would live forever
Death seemed so far off
On the far side of halfway I want to share my lessons
Maybe this time someone will listen, then again why should this time be different
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
My eyes of wonder
Clouded and disillusioned
Empty promises
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Greatness is hidden
Behind a curtain of fear
Vile and ugly
Truly…what is to be gained
For the lecherous many
~
A green light to hate
Harkening back to dark times
When race reigned supreme
Murder was freely sanctioned
With some holding little worth
~
We aren’t this people
Covered in blood and blackness
We are so much more
Look deeply into your soul
See the light that calls your name
~
This light is called love
And we are charged as shepherds
Tending to its flock
What’s best of America
Exists behind this veil

Division on stage;
Peddling war and hatred
To the cheer of crowds.
Angry white folks rebelling
While wrapped in the flag.
Our face is changing…
Diversity’s taking hold
And cannot be stopped
No matter how hard you try.
Time has come to embrace it.

Fluttering petals
Kissed by the gentlest wind
Graceful butterfly
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Clouds loom thick and black
The horizon is obscured
Changes are coming
You can hear them in whispers
Blowing softly through the trees
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
An old nemesis
Fighting against me since youth
Comes again to call,
Trying to snuff my life out
As it’s always wanted to.
Thus far it has lost,
But I am a realist,
One day I will lose
And will have to pay the price…
Until then I choose to live!
