Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Fake News

One need only repeat a lie
to be part owner;
our words
are ours
regardless of the author--

Easier to throw daggers
than to love:

The first needing only
the skill to speak, to write…
and the latter,
an independent
heart.

Panagiota Romios May 1, 2019 at 4:06 PM Perfecto! Panagiota Joseph P. DiMino May 2, 2019 at 5:11 AM Hi Panagiota; truth is probably the most righteous thing anyone can strive for, in all things--yet, especially in politics, it seems to be the least important. Have a great day my friend!

Geoffrey Brewer August 23, 2018 at 3:32 AM Truth effectively and elegantly expressed. Let us observe to observe and think for ourselves.

Lindsay Laurie July 15, 2018 at 10:41 PM G'day Joe … very true Joe. If a lie keeps persisting it soon becomes fake truth and there's a fair bit of that around - Lindsay Joseph P. DiMino July 21, 2018 at 8:19 AM I think the most difficult for all of us, is to recognize the programming in us, and then to be a truly Free Thinker. It requires courage...and a lot of work--what too many of us a reluctant to do. Great comment Lindsay. Thank you.
