Do not live in fear
For this life is far too short
To waste cowering
Bowing to the terrorist
Only serves to feed their fire

Look under rock and in darkened cave,
Delve into nightmares your wakings enslaved.
Tell me O’ tell me what is it you fear
In each thing you see and each that you hear.
News of invasion and hordes stoke your fire,
Of conspiracy theories you never do tire.
Immigrants scare you though ancestors were one
You hide behind barricades with knife and with gun.
In each person of color is seen a terrorist’s face
Afraid they will conquer your white Christian place.
How sad it is to live with terror neverending,
An old way of life you are always defending.
Change is but natural and always has been
And not loving they neighbor…well that’s still one of God’s sins.

War rages onward
Violence meets violence
Meets more violence
Do we not see the pattern
Are we blind to the outcome
It is infinite
The result always the same
With flag draped coffins
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Is there a cause in the name of God worthy of cruelty.
Man seeks ever more horrific ways to slaughter
Proclaiming, “This is the will of God.”
Show me where it is written that this is His command.
It is nothing more than a grab for power,
A subjugation of the populace through a reign of terror…
Your mortal motives impure.
Defend your beheading of the innocent,
Defend your burning of the living for the world to see.
How does this bolster your cause?
All you serve to do is alienate through your merciless violence.
You are looked down upon as animals,
A scourge on the face of this planet to be eradicated.
Lay down your sabres, holster your guns,
Draw down and retreat into the background,
Live in peace.
No further murders need be committed,
If you become silent
And listen to the gentle words of your God.

They only win if you live in fear
Envisioning terror around every turn
Red, blood red keeps you awake at night
Rendered by the media and the radical’s might
Only you can stem this terrible tide
Ridding the world of their plague that imbibes
Impending doom is what they so desire
Stifling of hope for a future that’s bright
Tell them their end lies in the approaching hour
Standing as one–their fates are most dire
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Ignorance under a religious guise
Soiling the good name of those who follow God in peace
Inciting fear and bloodshed amongst your brothers
So you can selfishly reap the benefits of this world
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A decade of war
Life draining on this nation
When will it all end
Our citizens sacrificed
Precious resources squandered
To what victory
How do we define success
Against painful loss
Our wars produce no winners
Without a clear enemy
All gains will revert
When finally we depart
Chaos ensuing
As is always the result
In the absence of brute force
When ideals are forced
Democracy imposed
Only breeds contempt
When masses are unprepared
For freedoms sacrifices
