See armageddon–
Hiding behind bombs and guns,
Deadly viruses,
Indiscriminate killing,
Murder and mayhem abound!
Worst of man exposed;
What goes around comes around
As the saying goes.
Perhaps we’ve come full circle
To pay for indiscretions.
No nation is safe.
Technology has assured
We are one world.
Hide amongst your ignorance,
But know–it cannot protect.

The silent killer
Ebola the fifth horsemen
Can we stop its reign
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
My struggle persists.
When confronted with belligerence I am weak;
Anger bubbles up from the depths of my soul.
Though I attempt to be as the sage,
Civil, calm, understanding, as yet I am not.
This disappoints me–disappoints me greatly,
But I have learned to forgive myself.
It is only my humanness barging through
Exposing me for what I am…a mere mortal.
Superhuman, without feelings or emotion,
I suppose not as I was born, live and will die.
Perhaps next time I will have more control,
Understanding that he who presents as my adversary
Is nothing more than my fellow man,
Ensconced with the very same emotions
That I too struggle to contain.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Morning symphony
Songbirds greet the rising sun
Beautiful alarm
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The cricket’s swan song
Farewell with seasons change
Returning in spring
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Synergy of souls
Joined in spiritual quest
For life after death
Since the beginning of time
We have been seeking Heaven
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Giving of the heart
Leaves one’s self vulnerable
There’s no greater thrill
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Do you hear their song
Baying to the lonesome moon
Coyotes crying
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
To feel the soil
Rich and warm between fingers
Man planting his seed
Nurturing healthy body
With the fruits of his labor
For millennia
This was mans way to survive
Living off the land
We’ve lost our time tested path
Through the chaos–modern life
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I, of spirit walk
With others on this journey
Each with their troubles
Their torment is also mine
For life is not a vacuum
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
