Even the sun rests
Laying down at the end of day
Welcoming the moon
Never have they competed
Each knows its role in nature
When their time is over
They take solace in their work
And a job well done
Perhaps man could learn something
If he just paid attention
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Without gratitude
Expecting seems like folly
Disastrous mix
One day they will awaken
And all they had will be gone
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
To see the river and watch it flow,
Effortlessly from where it came to whence it go
Never curious about why or where,
Traveling with grace, nary a care.
Unlike man who obsesses and frets,
About all that he gives and all that he gets.
Grabbing as much as he possibly can,
Selfish and hoarding ‘til it gets out of hand.
Then in the end they find all is for naught,
Worth nothing more than a penny for a thought.
Wise would it have been to follow rivers example,
Living with ease, nature provides all that is ample.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
No one hears the child
Cries of hunger are ignored
Food is tossed away
The richest country on earth
Isn’t there enough for all
