Hate is hate is hate
Whether homophobia
Or misogyny
Someone is bound to be hurt
With scars lasting a lifetime

Blood red,
The rainbow bleeds
A river born of hate.
You dare not question God,
He is perfect,
He is perfection by your own admission.
How then are they an abomination?
Are they not created by God,
Are they not flesh and blood and bone,
Are they not born,
Do they not die?
You…yes you are the blasphemers!
You will swim in the lake of fire on judgement day!
How dare you question God!
How dare you judge His perfect creations,
Taking their lives as if they were nothing.
If God truly is omnipotent,
Then they are just as worthy in His eye as you are,
Deserving the respect,
The honor
And the love
Afforded to all the children of God.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
How did we arrive on this vile path
Where fiction and fantasy meet?
Justified in spewing their putrid rath
In droves before our feet.
They peddle not, in truth tis true
But little this seems to matter.
Sooner or later this stance they’ll rue
Once their illusions are shattered.
Never shall I understand the blind allure
Of a pompous and childish ass.
To lead the free world with temperament sure
There’s no room for any morass.
Dark are the days ahead for us, a once great and powerful nation.
For empires become superfluous, with righteous indignation.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Words can be bullets
When fired from the wrong gun
Dangerous weapons

The cardboard roof does little to keep the icy rain and bone-chilling cold from compounding his pain. Looked upon as a piece of worthless trash, he is invisible to passersby..
Perhaps if they realized they were just one paycheck away from his Hell, they’d offer him a bit more sympathy.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I gave you my soul
Naked and vulnerable
What was I thinking?
All I wanted was your love
And you crushed me to pieces.
~
Love is what’s sacred
Yet you treat it like folly
And who’s is the victim,
Me…the one you claim to love
The object of your hatred.
~
Maybe I’m the fool
Gullible, the stupid one
Believing in love
Like Shakespeare’s starstruck lovers
And I’m Romeo

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Bridges not of steel
But built of trust and respect
Demolished by words
All that we say and do has
Consequences long after
~
~~ 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.

Corrupt righteousness
Acting with omnipotence
Is pure ignorance
Destroying lives without shame
Leaving ruin in its wake
~
~~ 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.
