Somewhere in my brain
A novel waits to be born
Playing hide and seek

Somewhere in my brain
A novel waits to be born
Playing hide and seek
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Pondering the path of my oft written word,
So much of my ink reeks of despair.
Wallowing in pity and the ills of this world,
Finding negativity to be very unfair.
~
Feeding and nurturing causes nothing but harm,
Perpetuating sadness to a greater degree.
Raising awareness and causing alarm,
Missing the good in all that I see.
~
Regret fills my heart for its adverse contribution,
Changing its path is my journey of life.
Believing in love instead of divine retribution,
Destined for virtue not sorrow and strife.
~
Sustaining the horrors of this world denies change,
Perpetual harm and devastation does it arrange.
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Do words affect change
Cause joy, pain, devastation
Linger in silence
Long after they’ve been uttered
Encouraging further thought
Is life made better
Uncertain futures improved
Or are they just words
Sounds vibrating through the air
Ink purposefully strewn
Blotting out the white
Filling meaningless canvas
Do words affect change
I certainly think they do
Or all of this is for naught
