If a tree falls in the woods…,
Do we hear it?
If a boy cries wolf,
Do we reprimand it?
If politics contradict science,
Do we believe it?
If a lie is told over and over,
Do we ignore it?
If a line is drawn in the sand,
Do we cross it?
If we won’t think for ourselves,
Do we deserve it?
If we refuse to learn from the past,
Do we repeat it?
Question authority as a thoughtful man.
Trust the facts when facts support,
For ignorance can never replace truth.
Fraught with peril this thin line
Once crossed will wither and die
Not so wide, but ever so fine
Our elected few seem eager to try
Mad men with power where nary have tread
Kindle the fires of conspiracy and hate
Ever so close the majority dread
A nation’s short history left to fate
This cresipise so deep we fear to fall
Bottomless pit will never end
Left to the tyrants this funeral pall
To torments wrath we writhe and bend
What’s to be gained by ignorance hold
Believing the fools venomous bite
Taking their word more precious than gold
That is til exposed by reasons light
Hope springs eternal as the old saying goes
May the ruinous seed be cast back to hell
Sooner or later nobody knows
Righteousness waits the toll of the bell
This sickness not us wailed from the heart
A cure lies ahead in the booth
Now is the time never too late to start
The lever must suffocate their truth
Time to rebel dead ahead in our hands
Never more urgent then now
Traitors that poison the mind and the land
Must be buried by the blade of the plow
Rise up! Rise up! You sheepish bunch
Stand up to the villain’s rusted sword
Truth lies before you much more than a hunch
Trample to dust his evil hoard
If not for yourselves for your progenies sake
Stiff your spine before time slides away
Your souls are their plunder and more they will take
Mark these words spoken this day
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
He’s scorching the earth;
Smell of sulfur permeates
From Hell’s fiery pit.
Long buried deep underground
His minions have arisen;
Blindly following
Abaddon’s vile deception
Like mindless rabble,
Anarchists legitimized
By the greatest deceiver.
Now’s the time for the
Thundering of the Shofar!
Time to declare war
In our fight for decency…
This nation’s identity.
We must not succumb
To conspiracy theories,
To the Fallen’s lies.
He will not be your savior
But instead your worst nightmare.
There’s still time…repent!,
Wake up before it’s too late
From this horrid dream.
We deserve better than this
Better than this Satan’s lies.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
My eyes of wonder
Clouded and disillusioned
Empty promises

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I don’t know what truth is anymore.
Our source of sanity has gone insane,
Their lies are sold to us like snake oil
And we are foolish enough to believe.
Informed citizens seem far and few between.
How sad…
Our founding fathers must be distressed
To see us floundering in this sea of lies.
Who will champion us back to reality?
Who has the courage to stand up to this lunacy?
I have no confidence in those who have been chosen!
They are but pawns or fools
Chosen by their parties, corrupt.
Something must change.
Revolution gnaws at our heels,
Begging us to submit.
Ask yourself…
When will we listen?
The opportunity has been laid at our feet,
But we have chosen to look away
Settling as we always do.
It looks like we will never learn.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Bitterest of pills
I swallowed without consent
And now I’m choking.
With every day that passes
I pray for civility
Only to suffer
The pains of disappointment.
Will I ever learn…
I doubt that I ever will,
But there’s no harm in hoping.
Trying to temper
My passion for politics,
Where lies don’t matter,
Compassion signals weakness
And right and left never meet.

Ambiguity
The lifeblood of politics
Flipping and flopping

One man’s memories
Selective and subjective
Just ask Mr. Trump
He can’t remember what he
Says from one day to the next
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You’re fooling yourself
Thinking you’re invincible
Showing arrogance
You are not untouchable
You are still human
Strength in ignorance
Is not really strength at all
But simply weakness
Disguised under a facade
Of false bravery
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Disappointment looms
As politics turn ugly
Fickleness of man
