Sacred sound of Om,
Heard in your ears when all’s still.
Deny if you must,
But know the Divine’s speaking,
Taunting your soul to listen.

Life Of Deja-Vu
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 ~~
A Suburban Trap
A suburban trap
Safety on a white washed street
It’s an illusion
Life offers no guarantees
Regardless of one’s color
~~ 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.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You’re Fooling Yourself
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 ~~
Another Year’s Come
Another year’s come
I welcome it with gusto
Though without fanfare
Why should I celebrate that
Which comes with or without me
Still I am thankful
And I am truly hopeful
For a better year
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Joy and Glad Tidings
Joy and glad tidings
Hallmarks of this gleeful time
Lost by so many
Those without means, abandoned
Are left to suffer alone
No tree, gifts or warmth
Is afforded to these souls
They’re invisible
Perhaps the Christmas spirit
Was meant as a reminder
That giving is more
Than gifts to friends and family
It’s to all mankind
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Smiles of Children
Smiles of children
Reminder of innocence
I so miss those days
~
Christmas season takes me back
To times less complicated
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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 ~~
Crackle of Winter
Crackle of winter
Frost covered grass falls to fate
It happens yearly
Then spring consummates marriage
And nature’s children are born
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
