Cadavers are strewn
Mutilated in his wake
And then there was one
Reality TV star
Chosen to lead our nation
A nation of fools
Lost in their own arrogance
We’re so gullible

False Security
False security
Fanaticism disguised
In propaganda
Confirming the masses fears
They so skillfully crafted

It Was Funny Once
It was funny once,
But it isn’t funny now;
Personal attacks.
Congratulations! We are
The laughing-stock of the world.
Trying to look tough
We’ve made ourselves look foolish.
Racism and hate,
Islamophobia, greed,
We are an embarrassment.
This is uncalled for!
Leaders of the free world
Do not act this way.
Hop back into your clown
Cars and rejoin your circus.

His Dizzying Array Of Nonsense
His dizzying array of nonsense boggles the mind
While apologists stutter excuses.
The dark underbelly of society cheers
Like rabid dogs dancing insanely in the streets.
Violence abounds though he denies its existence
Even while celluloid, coated in pepper spray stifles their lies.
He misspoke, He was taken out of context
Are the excuses of today as women are marched to prison.
Discussions of personal responsibility
Do not apply to this “Teflon Don”.
He speaks his ugly mind
Letting consequences fall where they may.
He didn’t start it, the other guy did
Showing that even spouses aren’t safe.
A schoolyard bully in a custom tailored suit
Wants to rule your roost,
And you are willing to blindly let him.
It matters not whether he is of substance,
It only matters that he speaks exactly what you think.

Fascists Among Us
Fascists among us
In the likes of Donald Trump
And his followers
A disgrace to humankind
Yet they live in denial
Gullibility
Prevailing in this nation…
In this century
Learning nothing in decades
We are destined to repeat
Showing no regret
Is what is most troubling
In this modern day
Racism and hatred live
In their violence and threats
Have we learned nothing
Showing little tolerance
What have we become
But laughing stocks of the world
And fodder for terrorists
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Exsanguination
Exsanguination,
Bloodletting of our nation
With every debate.
No discussion of issues
Just name calling like children.
Where is the substance?
Criticism solves nothing
Without solutions.
Since time immemorial
We have held this as the truth.
Today words of fools
Supplant our common senses.
Fear now rules our day,
Seen in every passing face;
Breaking our union apart.
What is it they want,
Their finger on the button
Ultimate power?
They are the ones we should fear
If in silence we’d listen.

Round And Round The Story Goes
Round and round the story goes
One that’s as old as time
Where it stops nobody knows
Causing tensions to climb
These 50 odd years since civil rights
Have made so little change
Hatred between black and white
Festers like the mange
Fear of lynching may have passed
But fear exists no less
While walking the street they’re still harassed
No matter how finely dressed
Ask Sandra Bland or Michael Brown
Oh wait they cannot speak
Too many names buried in the ground
The future seems so bleak
Justify and deny all you wish
Your blindness it won’t erase
200 years by chains and switch
Like animals kept in place
Nothing has changed in modern day
Ask Eric, Tamir or Trayvon
It matters not what any of us say
Because either way they’re gone
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Repent
Repent!
There is no repentance,
There is no civility only cruelty.
The cud we chew is our own
Regurgitated repeatedly
Until even we believe the vile spew.
This once great nation has become caustic
Poisoning the lifeblood of its citizens.
O’ how embarrassed I am
To be counted amongst you.
What we viewed as progress
Proved to be nothing but a facade.
The world sees us
Just as ugly as our past portrays.
We fool no one with our mask;
Smiling with our hand outstretched in friendship
Whilst clutching a dagger behind our backs.
Then, with great surprise, things turn sour!
We gasp in horror at the cruelty of our adversaries,
Castigating those we exploit.
In denial we consider ourselves blameless
Arrogantly condemning our victims.
Their hatred runs deep and their memories are long.
As we learn not from our mistakes,
Repeated over and over we achieve the same result,
Setting ablaze modern day Rome,
And leaving its citizens to flee in horror.

Danger From Within
Danger from within
Irrational fear monger
Stirs the racist pot
Over inflated egos
Will be this nation’s downfall
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Shadow Hovering
Shadow hovering,
Masked as national concern,
Arrogant bastard!
Caring not who he offends
As long as his ego is served.
What have we become?
Does not humility count?
Hate does not serve us,
It only serves to inflame
Defining an us and them.
He speaks of greatness,
Uniting America
While he divides us!
Tell me! What’s the attraction
To this thinly skinned buffoon.
The answer’s simple;
He appeals to the lowest
Animal instincts;
Making it okay to hate
Those who they don’t understand.
