Joseph P. DiMino Poet Prose

Take Dominion

“History repeats itself”...
this bad, ferocious creature
outside of us, beyond any 
personal control, that “rears
its ugly head”, and strikes 
“again and again”, delivering 
a fatal dose of worldly poison – 

Let's be clear, every day is
a new history, though similarities
with old may exist – what hasn't 
changed are people, the concentration
of lethal venom in our lazy, self-centered,
yet to to be conquered souls – 

Stop being reactionary! Take dominion!

If we wait on evil...we will fall – as
individuals, and a humanity – 

There is no compromising with wrong – 

Summon the spirit of Chamberlain,
and ask him, how did that all go with
Hitler?

Anil Deo February 1, 2022 at 12:43 AM I read this before, Father DeMino. May I be allowed to put this on a T-shirt: "Stop being divsionary; take Dominion," & lest we forget Jesus/ Universe paid for all our victories, as HIS OWN. THANX ever Joe. PTL Joseph P. DiMino February 1, 2022 at 3:31 AM Hi Anil; I would be overjoyed. Anything I write, you may use in any positive way you can think of, such an honor! -- don't even worry about mentioning my name, especially on a T-shirt, where space is limited. We serve the greater cause together. Blessings my friend!

Bill Baker January 29, 2022 at 7:07 AM I agree with you Joe. The world is what it is, we can only change from inside. Then the way we experience life, will change. Thanks for your strong encouragement, Bill Joseph P. DiMino January 30, 2022 at 4:48 AM Thank you, Bill; we have a duty to keep trying -- really no one will have true heaven until we all have it. Quite a meditation, when we look at all the little sheep around the world, destroying their environment along with one and other. Joe.
