Reeling from turmoil
A whirlwind of a day
I’m dazed and confused
So much in so little time
Its time to relax and breathe.

A hummingbird’s wings
Fast as the fleeting moment
Never to return~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Gone
Greatness
This country
Spiraling down
Grand Experiment
Being stretched very thin
Perhaps it has run its course
Government is broken
Diplomacy dead
General angst
Future bleak
What next
Vote!

-
To protect and serve
Whole communities in fear
Race should not matter
But it does and always has
More so in this day and age
Policing has changed
More vicious, less tolerant
They’re militarized
Controlling people by fear
Instead of using respect
When did this happen
Jackboots on the peoples necks
Tanks in city streets
Science fiction is now real
Welcome to the brave new world
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
-
Patter of fall rain
Hypnotic in its rhythm
Lulling me to sleep
Warm and dry in my slumber
My soul is truly at peace~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Do we expect the Divine to give without us giving back?
Do we expect to receive all the good this world has to offer without offering it back?
Life is not a one way street of take, take, take.
We are here to give unto others with no expectation of repayment.
This is what living is all about.~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

What’s my lineage
Whose blood courses through my veins
It’s not important
In the end I am human
And that is all that matters
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Is it hope or foolishness,
Games of chance,
One more turn of the card,
The next pull of the one armed bandit
Hit me,
Come on–triple sevens,
Changing life forever.
More often than not
The wallet ends lighter,
The heart weeps louder,
The mind is more full of regret,
Maybe next time…
Jackpot!
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
-
A story calls me
Begging to be written down
Fragments of a tale
Perhaps one day it will meld
Into a true masterpiece~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
