An old nemesis
Fighting against me since youth
Comes again to call,
Trying to snuff my life out
As it’s always wanted to.
Thus far it has lost,
But I am a realist,
One day I will lose
And will have to pay the price…
Until then I choose to live!
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Hate is hate is hate
Whether homophobia
Or misogyny
Someone is bound to be hurt
With scars lasting a lifetime
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
At what point doth pain subside
Of this I’ve oft times wondered.
Likely not ‘til the time I’ve died
Contrary wouldst be a blunder.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The cardboard roof does little to keep the icy rain and bone-chilling cold from compounding his pain. Looked upon as a piece of worthless trash, he is invisible to passersby..
Perhaps if they realized they were just one paycheck away from his Hell, they’d offer him a bit more sympathy.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Think before you speak
For words can cut like a knife
Silence is golden
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Our collective soul
Lies buried in the rubble
Of hate, greed and lies.
One day we will rise from ash
Like the fiery Phoenix.
Enlightened, wiser,
Perhaps we will see we’re one,
Made of flesh and bone.
How sad that we must suffer
Before we open our eyes.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Exsanguination
This is what we call living
The modern world
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Life of deja-vu
Pain, suffering, love, joy
Over and over
Isn’t this what it’s about
So why not just embrace it
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Weary traveler
T’is this life not a struggle?
Do not thy heart lose,
Greatness surely awaits you
In this world or the next.
Weep not for this life!
In thy pain character’s built
Giving you great strength.
With certainty thou shalt rise
By the loving hand of God.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Shadowy creatures
Thrive in absolute darkness,
What is it they seek?
Are they feasting on my fears
Or do they desire blood?
Real or imagined
They torture me just the same.
This…my illusion
Has become reality,
Whether I like it or not.
The mind truly can
Be such a terrible thing…
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
