Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Lowlife in high places

I once thought it was
about power...once thought
it was about wealth and
greed -- now am convinced

it is simply, pure evil -- 

the Devil makes bad use
of politicians --  

Don't give the Present Vice
a larger slice of your liberty!

Men competing in woman sports,
sexual organs surgically altered,
physically removed from otherwise
healthy children, without 
parental consent. 
 -- You may not be a Jew or Christian...
but we all are something! Marxists
will come for you and yours as well,
when you dare exhibit any qualities of
self determination. 

Vote wisely.  Don't turn Orwell from
novelist into Prophet!
--------------------------------------------------

(Capitalism is the best system.  But...but...but...as already stated, absolute power corrupts.  Capitalist compete with one another.  For greater wealth and influence.  To get better workers, they need to pay more than competitors...which leads to the rise of a Middle Class.  As that middle class becomes larger in numbers, more wealthy, they are perceived as a threat to presently entrenched institutions of financial and political monarchy.  For self-preservation the ruling Capitalist class feels need to shrink, if not eliminate entirely the middle class.  Starting by extinguishing Free Speech, and Free And Fair Elections.  Suppressing or eliminating the Middle Class is what they find in common with the Communist.  So, the backdoor unholy alliance is formed. Again, just my opinion.  I have no financial nor political degrees.  If anything I have stated is new to you, and of interest, do research.  Your grandchildren will bless you or curse you accordingly.)

Gershon Wolf September 17, 2024 at 7:21 PM As they say, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Joseph P. DiMino September 18, 2024 at 7:13 AM You personify the feelings of great men, who well know history. Thank you, my friend.

Joe Maverick September 5, 2024 at 7:57 AM Exactly Joe Dimino how i percieve it.. as there Are those who having climbed to a stronger Position in life..Will tend to help others lower Down ( not all will do this) but enough! All the while expanding their lifestyle and Acumen..This is anathema to those blind and Entitled ones who have somehow clamberd to The very top..' Joseph P. DiMino September 5, 2024 at 9:09 AM Hi Joe, thank you for commenting, as I value highly your spiritual leadership. I have met many of these types of people as I am certain you have. Politicians, big business. I write about nothing I just learned from books or from the internet. That does not make my opinions truth...but I can say, it false it is not for a lack of honest, sincere attempts at discovery.

Silent One September 3, 2024 at 1:21 PM The Devil makes bad use of politicians... I think the Devil tempts everyone... especially those with power and money... Joseph P. DiMino September 3, 2024 at 4:00 PM For sure, he will use whatever and whoever he can. I prefer Statesmen over politicians. Thank you, Si. Blessings my friend.

Hilda Greenhough August 31, 2024 at 4:44 PM A GREAT POEM. Our daily lives are in the balance. Another thought, Marxism does not love your pet. If our government changes, be ready to say goodbye to your cat and dog. Joseph P. DiMino August 31, 2024 at 5:15 PM That I have not heard...but would not be surprised. Thank you, Hilda, for commenting. I think many of these demonstrators are paid anarchist. They will shout anything for a price. Just my own gut opinion, nothing to back it up.

Andrea Dietrich August 31, 2024 at 2:14 PM I agree with you. The world is upside down and a vote for Harris is a vote for more bad economy and loss of freedoms . Sadly, people are voting for her simply out of their hatred of Trump. It is most unfortunate what is happening these days. Joseph P. DiMino August 31, 2024 at 2:24 PM Thank you, Andrea; apparently they do hate Trump...and they must also hate themselves unconsciously -- a vote for Harris is insane. Who do we think has been in charge the past 4 disgraceful years? Biden and Harris! Trump gave us far more prosperity and less global unrest.

Kim Rodrigues August 31, 2024 at 1:32 PM When life takes such a turn we know we as a society are not doing well. Close to the Nazi heart was to experiment on children, oh the horror! God gave us life and family. He gave us good things and crazy people pervert every bit of it. Give a little then a lot is taken, and not for the good. I turn to God. Bless you, Joe! Joseph P. DiMino August 31, 2024 at 2:19 PM Sad how treacherous history repeats itself -- and always starts the same way: we must eliminate the old entirely for there to be a greater, new good. Always couched in the name of Equality. Nanny State only failed in the past because we were not in charge. That's the problem with surface Intellectualism -- always leads to instability in a practical society and eventually to complete social chaos.

I Am Anaya August 31, 2024 at 10:45 AM Marxist:a fair playing field for economic equality. What makes a Marxist bad? "Men competing in woman sports" I agree they shouldn't. What does it have to do with Marxist? Marx wrote the communist manifesto in 1848 when half of Europe was starving to death, it translates poorly into our times Trump is Orwellian btw, Orwell in 1984 he mentioned New speak where truth became lies and lies became truth. Just do what he says, & nobody gets hurt. Maybe some sound bite history will serve to enlighten? I agree 100% we all are something. Joseph P. DiMino August 31, 2024 at 11:58 AM ?--you should like Harris; Harris's father was a Marxist Economist Professor. No one likes the death and destruction in Gaza, including Netanyahu. Next you will suggest that I am a Homophobe and Racist. It's getting old my friend. Peace. I Am Anaya August 31, 2024 at 11:28 AM Aw, Harris (59yrs old) is a New Deal Democrat., a capitalist. You're right, the youth out there (Palestinian's) are the results of what they think they see happening in Gasa and the West Bank. But they too are victims of ignorant diatribe. Ty, Joe for letting me express myself ;) Joseph P. DiMino August 31, 2024 at 11:09 AM The problem with Marxism is not the social theory of equality, it is interpretation of how to bring it about, which I strongly object to. Those rioting in our nation, terrorizing Jewish and Christian students are not interested in a fair playing field. Harris is not interested in equality in my opinion -- she is an Obama puppet -- the way I see it. Thank you for your opinion, Anaya. Peace.
