There is good and bad
In everything in this life
Be cautious with blame
It can destroy what is good
Just as easily as bad
Know the difference
Between what’s fact and fiction
Lives can hinge on it

Err on cautions side
When determined to cast stones
Reflections deceive
Where misinformation lives…
The bottom of a closed mind
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Wisdom of a child–
We do not start out hateful
This we have been taught.
Corrupted by narrow minds
Desiring to suppress.
To what end is this,
But to feed the frail ego
–A disgusting beast!
With claws and fangs it draws blood
Weaving a path called ruin.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Boom!
Explosions foretell impending doom.
Shrapnel tears, litter, debris,
Screams of those one cannot see.
Missiles launched behind human shields,
Zionists and zealots refuse to yield.
Suffering little as the innocent die,
Denying they’re complicit, a terrible lie.
Which side is right, which side is wrong,
Difficult to tell they’ve hated so long.
Whether Gaza, Israel, Russia, Ukraine,
War is still war just with different names.
Fighting for ethnicity, Allah or God,
They’re “holier than thou” is just a facade.
Violence and death under whatever name,
Can’t be justified no matter what the claim.
Which leads me to wonder whether peace is desired,
With every bomb dropped and each rocket fired.
These wars have carried on for eons ‘til today,
I wonder if they really know any other way.
While their innocent suffer and hatred is bred,
I doubt they will stop until all sides are dead.

Brother fights brother
Will expressed through violence
So death marches on
All for ideology
Refusing to live on peace

Alone he sits and cries
Night after night for a home
Scared of the darkness
He is new to this world
A pup looking for a home

Trying to believe
Innocent of the murder
Seems implausible
This was the jury’s verdict
Too bad the dead cannot talk
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Tyrants iron fists
Slaughter the innocent
Void of all remorse
Those they were charged to protect
Prey for evil predators
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What drives man?
Greed, honor, sadness, love, anger, jealousy.
What drives man to madness?
The very same greed, honor, sadness, love, anger, jealousy.
Excuses for the evil that we do
Yet inexcusable by all accounts.
Innocence taken for causes only known to them.
Lives shattered!
Pain inflicted!
Sadness instilled!
No cause justifies their cowardice!
Their selfishness!
Their God complex!
These are criminals deserving of punishment,
Harsh and swift,
Showing no mercy,
For deeds done of their own free will.

Led by a despot
Innocent blood stains the streets
Cries for help ignored
Are the lives lost all for naught
Genocide begs a response
~
If not us then who
Each passing day brings more death
More graves to be dug
More mothers weeping their loss
The regime must abdicate
~
