Joseph Anthony Montefusco Poems

This land was once vastly green
Soil was as pure as lake water
Wild beasts roamed free
And Mother Earth was queen
...

The obedient glimmer in its eyes
seems to have died
And not much to my surprise
...

A once beautiful flower
Full of fruits and dreams
Now wilts away
From environmental srceams
...

What was once known as democracy
Has now become hypocrisy
Because America’s not what it should be:
Land of the Brave; Home of the Free
...

It’s been only three days
since our hearts intertwined
Now I sit wishing
that I could rewind time
...

“Truth”
In this world now-a-days
What we need is truth,
Whether talking on your cell
...

A phase of shadows where
only the dead dance
And all the corpses bask
in an eerie romance
...

I wish I was naïve
So I wouldn’t have to believe
All those things I should not see
...

What more is there to say
About a mind dulled by decay
And a soul sliced everyday
By their futile ways
...

I am no longer among the living
Yet neither am I dead
Am I trapped in another dimension?
Or deep inside my head?
...
