My eyes of wonder
Clouded and disillusioned
Empty promises

In your happiness
I find the purest of joys
With love, your father

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Look up to the stars
And peer into Heaven’s eyes
Your future awaits
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You must dare to dream
If you’re ever to succeed
Find your happiness
It’s not about the money
It’s about satisfaction

Juan’s tears evaporate before they can run down his burned and blistered cheeks. Face down in the sand he see a vision of his wife and three small children.
What started out as a journey to freedom and a better life is now about to leave him for the vultures.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Shadowy creatures
Thrive in absolute darkness,
What is it they seek?
Are they feasting on my fears
Or do they desire blood?
Real or imagined
They torture me just the same.
This…my illusion
Has become reality,
Whether I like it or not.
The mind truly can
Be such a terrible thing…
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Amongst the chaos
A tiny voice can be heard
The voice of reason
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Field of dreams mowed down
Crushed by decades of abuse
Reagan’s legacy
Trickle-down economics
Massacred the middle-class
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Gambling wages
Praying for triple sevens
The house always wins
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Shaken from a dream
Reality seems blurred
Which of them is real
.
