Bitterest of pills
I swallowed without consent
And now I’m choking.
With every day that passes
I pray for civility
Only to suffer
The pains of disappointment.
Will I ever learn…
I doubt that I ever will,
But there’s no harm in hoping.
Trying to temper
My passion for politics,
Where lies don’t matter,
Compassion signals weakness
And right and left never meet.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It was funny once,
But it isn’t funny now;
Personal attacks.
Congratulations! We are
The laughing-stock of the world.
Trying to look tough
We’ve made ourselves look foolish.
Racism and hate,
Islamophobia, greed,
We are an embarrassment.
This is uncalled for!
Leaders of the free world
Do not act this way.
Hop back into your clown
Cars and rejoin your circus.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
His dizzying array of nonsense boggles the mind
While apologists stutter excuses.
The dark underbelly of society cheers
Like rabid dogs dancing insanely in the streets.
Violence abounds though he denies its existence
Even while celluloid, coated in pepper spray stifles their lies.
He misspoke, He was taken out of context
Are the excuses of today as women are marched to prison.
Discussions of personal responsibility
Do not apply to this “Teflon Don”.
He speaks his ugly mind
Letting consequences fall where they may.
He didn’t start it, the other guy did
Showing that even spouses aren’t safe.
A schoolyard bully in a custom tailored suit
Wants to rule your roost,
And you are willing to blindly let him.
It matters not whether he is of substance,
It only matters that he speaks exactly what you think.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Symbol of greatness
Tarnished by greed and hatred.
A once proud people
Sinks deeper into ruin
While wearing a clueless stare.
They would be appalled
If only they were conscious,
But alas they aren’t
Choosing instead to live lies
Propagandized by tyrants.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Gates of Hell opened!
What lies in store for the damned
Who worship Satan?
His power grows with applause,
His insatiable ego
Thrives hearing his name.
Feeding off the ignorance
Of the cheering hordes
He spews hate with a smile
Leaving fans drooling for more.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Art of compromise
Non-existent in our world
U.S. politics
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
One man’s memories
Selective and subjective
Just ask Mr. Trump
He can’t remember what he
Says from one day to the next
