Maybe I missed it…
When we became anointed
Rulers of the world,
Taking nation’s resources,
Conquering their citizens.
And tell me for what?
Could it be for our profit
As it always is?
All the savages be damned
They can’t stop us anyway!
But the refugees,
The wars and the violence…
This isn’t our fault.
Why take blame for our actions
When you can blame someone else.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Life’s fluidity
Frightening to so many
So they swim upstream
Isn’t life evolution…
Nothing ever stays the same
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You must dare to dream
If you’re ever to succeed
Find your happiness
It’s not about the money
It’s about satisfaction
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I can hear him laugh
Saying whatever he wants
Both vile and cruel
Through his puckered hateful lips
What does Trump care, he is rich
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Life, liberty and
The pursuit of happiness
Words that we hold dear
Except in Rowan County
Where you must be straight as well
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I am a magnet
Attracting insanity
From all the four winds
Once they’ve taken residence
I am left to their mercy
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What is it they want;
To live under a bubble
Of pure shiny white?
Existing void of color
A Leave it to Beaver world.
Stirring up hatred,
This group or that is to blame,
Banish them for good.
Spy your own family tree
And you just might be amazed.
What are they after
When they’re stomping on the poor,
Calling them lazy,
Treating each as a moocher
Unworthy of compassion.
Perpetuating
Disgraceful stereotypes.
Shameless in their rant
African Americans,
Mexicans and the Chinese.
Supremacists rise
Rallying around their bile,
But they take no blame,
They’re taken out of context
They would like you to believe.
War, war, war, war, war
Look at their warmongering,
Death brings them such joy.
It’s not theirs that fight and die
They are ours, they’re yours and mine!
Privatize they cry,
Programs for the public good,
Vouchers for us all.
Business doesn’t work for us
It’s all about the profit.
FDR was right,
To enact social reforms
A cure for our ills.
Keeping the wealthy in check
For the benefit of all.
Watch as fortunes fall,
Not those of robber barons
But instead yours–mine.
The oligarchs won’t feel it
This is by their own design.
Sadly we’ve stepped back
Trusting our fates to the rich.
How foolish we are!
Painful lessons are ne’er learned
Thus are destined to repeat.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Born in the wrong time.
I have always felt this way,
Old soul…modern days.
Really, what is one to do
Without having time travel.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Gangrenous is hate,
Leeching on healthy tissue
‘Til decay consumes.
Once done…tell me what is left,
But a hollow corpse seething.
Such a waste of life.
O’ the good you could have done
Were you not selfish.
Alas free will corrupted
Leaving you ever bitter.
Your path is your own;
Be happy in this karma
Brought about by you.
May you take it to the grave
So the world might benefit.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Searching for true love
Can consume you like quick sand
Do not allow it
Take time…open yourself up
The risk is worth the reward
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
