Our Stars and Stripes Raised

Our Stars and Stripes raised

After being exiled

For fifty four years.

Ineffective policy

Has finally been ended.

 

Dissidents upset

Obama is selling out,

They’re completely wrong.

We have embraced the Chinese

Condoning communism.

 

Where is their outrage,

Aren’t they just as oppressive…

Maybe even more?

Where money and profits live

We’ll always turn a blind eye.

Best of Intentions

Best of intentions

Resulting in destruction

Water pollution

Liquid more precious than gold

Spoiled for generations

To Be All Knowing

To be all knowing;

Would I become horrified…

Sickened by the thoughts?

Would I share in suffering

Or in humanities pain?

 

I really don’t know,

Maybe I would offer love

Or a helping hand.

I’d like to think myself brave,

But then again…I’m not God.

The Stage Has Been Set

The stage has been set

Clown car gassed up and ready

Right-wing rant begins

Offering few solutions

To the mess that they started

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Created From Dust

Created from dust

Instilled with Divine Spirit

Magical creatures

We are unique, but the same

Born from the All Knowing Mind

Baited and Murdered

Baited and murdered

Head on a silver platter

Carcus left to rot

Foolish man with bow in hand

Now he’s wanted for his crime

Maybe now he knows

What it’s like to be the prey

Hunter now hunted

Perhaps the same fate awaits

A trophy for Zimbabwe

Reliving the Past

Reliving the past

While destroying the present

This we do so well

Tamping down our happiness

With the pain we so relish

Man’s Intuition

Man’s intuition

Lost amongst modernity

Preferring book smarts

Wisdom comes in many forms

If you’re willing to listen

Hawks Call For More War

Hawks call for more war

A peaceful resolution

Is the last resort

Someone I think is confused

When shedding blood is first choice

Wave of Heat Rising

Wave of heat rising

Into the blue clear abyss

Summertime desert

She’s made inhabitable

By man’s ingenuity
