Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Drink the Kool-Aid

Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug – 
no matter the fly in our
President's mug, the bug in 
his thinking...my reflecting on
his ailing brain, and it's obvious
volume shrinking:

Those mindless, confusing rants, 
Bidden juices-up;  Psaki, drinking 
without blinking – regurgitating 
at deceptive White House briefings –  
propaganda validated by shameless, 
would-be reporters, were it not for 
their obvious conscription – their 
sacrificial genuflecting, having
sold their souls to the Golden Calf 
of Soros wealth and tyrannical 
influence – 

For Progressive compliance – securing
her high place of worship in a Marxist,
Totalitarian Kingdom – Pelosi suggesting
free ice-cream be given to all, in place
of Tried-And-True, Good Old, American 
Freedom –

Hilda Greenhough September 27, 2023 at 7:45 AM I've had many similar thoughts I liked reading this poem. I do believe that free ice cream for the masses requires free freezers to keep it in. And of course, that means more electricity. Nice going. Joseph P. DiMino September 27, 2023 at 8:57 AM God feeds the birds, but he does not throw seed in their nests. Thank you Hilda; you are wise. Blessings my friend!

Fran Delaney-Barron September 26, 2023 at 8:21 PM Sad that our division is prevalent in poetry as well. I always experience the expression of poetry as cathartic and I assume this was for you here. Joseph P. DiMino September 26, 2023 at 8:33 PM Was more so even years ago, often poets the voice for disgruntled populations, oppressed by kings, popes and barbarian dictators. I wish things were different. The greatest prose poetry ever written, the bible, is very much about such abuse and heartache. Blessings my friend.

Lewis Nyaga September 26, 2023 at 5:50 PM Interesting political read.. insights to befuddling//Blessing In Almighties Light Joseph P. DiMino September 26, 2023 at 8:26 PM Sad how politicians, on both sides of the US aisle, are voted in by the people, and then proceed to immediately make a kingdom for themselves.

Timothy Ray June 18, 2022 at 7:01 AM a nice romp stomping Blue Necks...people who have no grasp of history, economics, and for sure logic and reason....they blame Columbus when the reality is that war, land grabs, slavery, child sacrifice, tribal wars exited long before Columbus and the Spanish in Mexico as well as South America were aided by Tribes that had had enough of Aztecs and Incas...and were typical dummies in trading master for master Timothy Ray June 18, 2022 at 12:41 PM was studying Walt Whitman today and he would heartily agree with you...the basics are we are all human and subject to frailties....let's end the accusing and remember that, moving forward, those who live in the past have no future... Joseph P. DiMino June 18, 2022 at 12:00 PM Thank you, Tim, for a very wise and perceptive comment. The negatives we see in society, which are present, to some extent throughout all cultures and governments, are deeply seated in the human psyche and soul -- if there is blame, we all have stock in it...along with the cure. Blessings my friend.

Anil Deo January 9, 2022 at 5:30 AM congrats Joe; i found this poem in the POTD list. Yes, GEORGE may buy his way on earth ... but America was CHOSEN for efforts at more and more democracy. I add, the Jewish minority produces the right kind of hero ... it did in the last 120 years. shalom, shalom Joseph P. DiMino January 9, 2022 at 9:11 AM Thank you, Anil; there have been many...Christ at the top of my list! Blessings my friend!

Geoffrey Brewer December 17, 2021 at 8:55 PM Let them choke on their Kool-Aid, Ben & Jerry’s and Marxist fare. We can stick with the traditional menus of liberty personal responsibility and love. Blessings for the festive season, Joe Joseph P. DiMino December 18, 2021 at 10:06 AM When one looks in their eyes, it is impossible not to see the absence of soul -- quite a meditation for God's Faithful. Blessings my friend.

Panagiota Romios December 17, 2021 at 5:30 AM Sorry, i missed this. Three cheers. Congratulations. prince Pangiota Joseph P. DiMino December 17, 2021 at 7:11 AM Thank you, Pangie. God Bless American!

P.S. Awtry December 14, 2021 at 7:51 PM This is a passionately written piece. It certainly inspired passionate responses. We are living in strange times indeed. If a person believes there is danger ahead, they are only right to warn others. Congratulations on POTD honors. Joseph P. DiMino December 15, 2021 at 7:55 AM Thank you, P.S. -- have a great day my friend! And thank you Soup, for giving my small voice such a fine, amplified stage. Blessings to all!

Evelyn Judy Buehler December 14, 2021 at 3:11 PM A marvelous creation, so well evoked. Congratulations on POTD, Joe. Blessings Evelyn Joseph P. DiMino December 14, 2021 at 3:46 PM Thank you, Evelyn. You are so kind. Have a blessed day. Oh, and a very Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Joe.

Kim Rodrigues December 14, 2021 at 1:53 PM LOL…you have captured a plethora of political happenings! Joseph P. DiMino December 14, 2021 at 2:18 PM Hi Kim; thank you. In my opinion, we need to vote these Marxist out. They soil the offices they represent. Blessings my friend!

Connie Marcum Wong December 14, 2021 at 12:02 AM Congratulations on your POTD Joe. It is amazing that with protests all over the globe, none to my knowledge were seen on our main stream news stations. I would say why? This is big news. Here is a link that shows the many thousands who took to the streets globally to protest. https://www.facebook.com/581881721/videos/430811278619230/ P.S. Awtry December 18, 2021 at 1:13 PM My husband and I just watched this--overwhelming! No they are not covering this on any news stations I watch. Thank you so much for posting this. Mandates and coercion are not consent. Again, thank you Connie. <3 ~ps Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2021 at 1:05 PM Great of you to show this, Connie. People who do not live in fear of a virus kept going by media propaganda. L Milton Hankins December 16, 2021 at 12:15 PM I watched the video in its entirety. Hmmm...I'm wondering how many of those people are now dead from Covid, which they proclaimed a hoax???? Joseph P. DiMino December 14, 2021 at 5:55 AM Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bless you, bless you, bless you! You are a Class Act Connie! Every negative poster here should see this video...and if this does not make Kool-aid drinkers see the light, nothing will. Blessings my friend!

Christuraj Alex December 13, 2021 at 10:09 PM A great and beautiful work. Congratulations! Joseph P. DiMino December 14, 2021 at 6:12 AM Thank you, Alex; please go to link Connie just posted -- we are far from alone. Blessings my friend!!

Mark Koplin December 13, 2021 at 3:56 PM It looks like you sent her a little too hard there bud! Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 4:58 PM Thank you, Mark. Appreciate you commenting.

Robert Gorelick December 13, 2021 at 12:27 PM A mean-spirited rant. Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 2:47 PM Oh well, guess I rattled some cages. Voodoo Child December 13, 2021 at 1:25 PM Chug-a-lug Chug-a-lug!

David Mchattie December 13, 2021 at 10:25 AM I have to agree with Milton. If you want to write a poem about inflation or the disaster at the border with thoughts that are clever and new... go ahead. But personal attacks on people whether it's Trump or Biden... should never be POTD. This poem offers nothing clever or amusing... It's just mean. Joe... you are better than this. Have a great day. Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 2:56 PM What in God's name, can anyone ever write, that is clever and amusing about adults and children being raped and murdered at our Southern Border -- please enlighten me. L Milton Hankins December 13, 2021 at 12:41 PM Then that, Joe, is very, very sad! Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 10:40 AM But I am not better than this!?:) This is me:)

L Milton Hankins December 13, 2021 at 8:41 AM I need to let it be known that I am thoroughly against administration making political tirades P.O.T.D. The poet has a right to his opinion, but this piece of writing is not at all P.O.T.D. quality, period. Shameful! Panagiota Romios December 17, 2021 at 6:11 AM Voo doo read your soupmail on Keith. The bullies here wont give you credit for your own mind. They think you are a total flake and a liar. If so, they can HOWL at you . Bless you, vC Mark Koplin December 14, 2021 at 5:45 AM Awww, is that for me sweetie? How cute. Voodoo Child December 14, 2021 at 5:10 AM Roses are red, violets are blue, big closet queens is bad voodoo. Mark Koplin December 14, 2021 at 4:19 AM There she is, I’ve missed you sweetie Voodoo Child December 13, 2021 at 6:16 PM That’s the second time you have called me Keith. Is that an in-joke or some sort of code? I don’t get it, is that a dogwhistle? What am I missing? I think I shall call you Jabba the Hutt ‘cause that’s who you remind me of. I don’t anticipate you and I will have much contact in the future so let’s just agree to disagree. Mark Koplin December 13, 2021 at 3:49 PM Hey Milt, it’s kind of sweet how Keith defends the honor of a grown man. Absolutely adorable! Voodoo Child December 13, 2021 at 1:20 PM No one needs to know what your position is on “political tirades” as you call it. Keep your “shameful” comment to yourself. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make you the arbiter of good taste. I did some checking and you seem okay with it when our former President is the one being pilloried. Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 8:45 AM Thank you, Milton; I respect your comment. Blessings my friend!

Ann Peck December 13, 2021 at 8:31 AM Congratulations on POTD. Sorry it's about politics and conspiracy. Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 8:35 AM Thank you, Ann. Sorry you are sorry -- but I keep hoping. Have a great day my friend.

Alexis Y. December 13, 2021 at 7:46 AM Hi Joe, I echo what Tom said. Congratulations on getting the poem of the day. Have a nice day:-)Alexis Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 8:33 AM Hi Alexis -- Oh were it so! I hear you, but this is important – too important for the soul of humanity to ignore, separate out from all our daily endeavors. While censorship is needed in society, I do believe, for art it can be wrong. I'd like to thank Soup for allowing this conversation. Blessings. There are artists trapped by Totalitarian Regimes around the globe, forced to create and hide their art in dark basements and caves, always fearing discovery and persecution. This is for them...as well as our future selves.

Gershon Wolf December 13, 2021 at 7:13 AM Ooh, I just heard that Nancy P's selling her oversize gavel on E-Bay for $1B to Hilary Clinton, and that Nancy's been fitted for oversized hand-claws. lol. Congrats on POTD, Joe, I mean -- Komrade Yosif! ~ Executioner Volkov Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 7:29 AM Hi Gershon; love MMA! Now that guy is a real Heavy-weight. Have a great day my friend!

Joseph May December 13, 2021 at 5:07 AM I don't know if the Jan. 6 rioters drank more Kool-aid, but I do like ice-cream, Congrats on POTD Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 6:52 AM Hey Joe, good name! A good question? I don't how much Kool-aid the manipulated saps drank...we should ask the vendors, starting with Pelosi.... I like ice cream also, but prefer to buy my own. Blessings my friend!

Mike Gentile December 13, 2021 at 4:45 AM While I congratulate you for your POTD, I surely wish that PS was one place where the division of politics was not on display! I for one, need a refuge from it. Thanks !! L Milton Hankins December 13, 2021 at 12:43 PM I so agree with you, Mike! Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 6:56 AM Hi Mike; I sincerely hear you...but think history shows us, if to have free expression of any format, we need to have free nations. It is a sad fact of life...I bitterly lament. A Romantic Poet by nature. Blessings my friend! Tom Cunningham December 13, 2021 at 4:51 AM Well said Mike,

Tom Wright December 13, 2021 at 4:29 AM Joe, I totally agree, Thanks for having the guts to say it. Tom Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 6:58 AM Thank you, Tom; guts, common-sense, and eyes wide open...and paying attention to what I drink. Blessings my friend!

Voodoo Child December 13, 2021 at 4:16 AM Wow, what a gem to wake up to. I love this because it's so real and so true. America has finally come to the same conclusion. Unfortunately as you can see already in comments there are some who not only always drink the kool-aid but swim in it. Great write and thanks for restoring my faith in this site. I was beginning to wonder if it was for me. Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 7:02 AM Hi Voodoo; no, not just you...many now! That is why the blow-back has become so pointed -- I think there always was a majority...people are just finding their voices. Blessings my friend. And thank you for the support.

Tom Cunningham December 13, 2021 at 12:37 AM I try and steer clear of politics especially that of another nation as we have enough idiots in our own government. But congratulations Joe on POTD, enjoy the honour. Tom Panagiota Romios December 17, 2021 at 6:00 AM Tom, we are all interdependent now. Nationalism Ended long ago. The internet tells us what is happening in each country. Its no secret whats going on in the UK nor the USA nor china. You heard of Wuhan right? You heard of Nato and the UN? We are allied nations. I hope! I do not mean we judge one another at all.politics is stresful as you well know. Being ill, gave me a chance to live again and see beauty, panagiota Joseph P. DiMino December 13, 2021 at 7:09 AM Hi Tom; I wish I could. Wish things were different -- but too many have perished tragically for my freedoms, for me not too support the flag now, and defend its essence with my heart and soul. Blessings my friend.

Gershon Wolf December 12, 2021 at 5:53 PM Don't worry. Nancy is running for President of her eighth-grade class, and the kids want unsupervised vaping rooms. So free ice cream just won't cut it. lol. Joseph P. DiMino December 12, 2021 at 6:25 PM Marijuana the main ingredient...and then pass legislation allowing 14 year old's the right to vote. New York already allows illegals to vote in local elections. National Elections next. Please, don't give her devious mind any new ideas:) Thank you, Gershon.
