Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Negative Echoes

Too much negativity can lead astray -- 
what you see is more of what you
will get; what you hear are the echoes
that your heart will send back – what you pray are
the angels you will attract...the God
type who will lead them.  Entertain in your mind 
deceit, greed, war and violence, greater fire and smoke
will suck the air from your experienced everyday environment.  
Speak vehemence, vengeance, and the Lord of retribution
will contrive your footsteps and flying – the deity
of heavens and hells will imprint new
such drama landscapes, battles of your dawns and nights. 
One manifests, forms and reforms fears and desires his
deluded heart and soul mistakenly empower.  Clean
one’s self, and both heaven and hell
will be at last an immaculate harmony of peace and shared
love.  Heaven on earth.  No Second Coming till then.

Gershon Wolf September 30, 2026 at 8:30 PM Gotta get rid of those 'nattering nabobs of negativity.' Remember when Spiro Agnew called Vietnam war protesters by that appellation? (P.S. I think he was right. Whatever their views, they were all negative.) ~ Gershon Joseph P. DiMino October 1, 2026 at 1:22 AM Spiritual Law of Attraction: what one holds in his mind and heart he will attract and propagate. That's it in a nutshell. Thank you, Gershon.
