All Lives Matter

Blessed are those
who love God, the
God of love and
mercy

Blessed are those
who follow one God,
who leads with 
compassion showing
mercy

Cursed are those 
who follow the Prince
of darkness, who fell
from Heaven dragged 
down by the weight 
Lesser Ego -- 

He who shows no Mercy
will be shown no Mercy

A Terrorist is the
Son of the Devil
a Harlot of Evil 

All Lives Matter

Even the whores
of the press, the whores
of politics, and those
building mansions

profiting from war

let those who hear
with ears yet open
pause and listen to
the tender heart of 
wisdom

while those darkened.
Shut off souls, will know
the Fires of Purification

So written
in the annals of 
bloody history

Tom Woody Date: 11/13/2023 7:06:00 AM I'm reminded of this thought from Ecclesiastes 8:9, "All of this I have seen, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his harm." And so it continues, until the day of Jehovah arrives to set all matters straight. Nice poetic expose Joe Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 11/13/2023 7:34:00 AM Hi Tom; very enlightening comment. Thank you, my friend. Blessings.

I Am Anaya Date: 10/31/2023 7:04:00 AM Congratulations on POTD! "Blessed are those who follow one God, who leads with compassion showing mercy" an yet we are here, in 2023. Man uses God for power & greed. All due to scriptures of ancient that give bad men power to kill, and torture, and make Revelation come true. Are you sure you don't mean Jesus, the Messiah?

David Kavanagh Date: 10/31/2023 2:49:00 AM All lives matter Joe, but only to some countries and people, Hamas are a direct extension of the Misogynistic Islamic republic of Iran, it’s not only Israel they hate but the whole free world, and are willing to sacrifice every poor Palestinian in Gaza to further their twisted aims, little men with big guns hide behind women, children, and hospital beds, but of course (the deluded) refuse to see the bigger picture, anyway this is not a religious view just one based on pragmatism, congratulations on POTD, cheers David Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 10/31/2023 7:13:00 AM Thank you, David; wise and illuminating comments. Blessings my friend

Nancy Kaufman Date: 10/31/2023 2:48:00 AM Congratulations Joe on this timely POTD..I could feel the angst in this write. The "eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" was in the Old Testament I believe, not in the new. I realize we must stand up for our allies and all wars are horrific but there are so many innocents being caught in the crossfire on both sides. Heartbreaking all the way around. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 10/31/2023 7:16:00 AM I agree, Nancy -- we pray for peace together.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 10/31/2023 1:46:00 AM Man is both love and evil. Unfortunately, we are more prone to want evil. God can forgive but up to a point. Congratulations on your POTD. Blessings.

Vijay Pandit Date: 10/30/2023 5:12:00 AM Mindful insights into the blessed and the cursed. A profound message you convey my friend: let those who hear with ears yet open pause and listen to the tender heart of wisdom. Enlightened words, Joe. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 10/30/2023 6:53:00 AM Thank you, Vijay; many people think that, people who have aligned with evil are consciously aware -- most are not. Mystics, on the invisible, work with fallen spirits, trying to help awaken them, comfort and make ready for salvation -- until then, the deceived are not a pretty atmosphere. Makes Halloween, by comparison, seem a tender nursery rhyme. Blessings my friend. Thank you for the support.

Paula Goldsmith Date: 10/29/2023 1:14:00 PM I enjoyed reading your write. The world has always been filled with love/evil, today is no different. Until man has only love there will be no peace. Heaven awaits with love/peace. Have a wonderful day....... Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 10/29/2023 1:31:00 PM For sure...an age old story of man's/woman's inhumanity. Let us pray for peace together. Blessings.
