Joseph P. DiMino Poet Prose Poetry

The Green New Deal

It took very little to make us happy
young and intoxicated with feeling
high on the thought of holding one
another, embracing our way to 
madness, another bite of the apple
we were deeply in love. 

                   Past guilt not ours
yet thrust upon us, by those less
brave – by those priests and 
priestesses of timid wisdom, wise but
aloof from the live world around them~ treasures
their hearts somewhere above the stars
you and I here and now yes worship our
chemical reacting with its earth, sensing 
divine sparkle – 

We brighten, flair together in our 
every quaking moment of unrehearsed
encounter. Reborn by the lust of human
arms. Not rejecting God, but celebrating!
            What liar convinced man that 
creation is passionless? What dim seer
thought The Seven Days spent bored and yawning~ 
Evolving spirit something without far reaching 
tentacles for physical sensing, probing, reaching, bursting 
with desire to experience? This is not original
sin! – the much greater sin that of turning one's
back on the breathing, pulsing nature of Soul.

Yes, to be tamed! Exhausted into submission, never stilled and 
wrongly quieted. 

Yet, we pretend no answers, you and I, for unlike 
many we consume our scriptures from the inside out, less
judging and more opening each day onto widening mystery 
and enchantment. Innately knowing what sin is, rejecting all content!
Sharing the rest, though we are never entirely certain of outcome, for relished
always are evolving, bursting fiery skies
of new emotional universes uncharted. We
seek entirely without caging. Passion is art, poetry, micro
and massive inventions. Man is not burned
by passion, but more by fear and deception. 
The Devil is fear! The age-old weapon of despots and
their armed administers of hate. The inside joke of
the Green New Deal...is more green for their already
bloated pockets.

Valsa George February 12, 2023 at 9:24 PM "This is not original sin! – the much greater sin that of turning one's back on the breathing, pulsing nature of Soul." Do agree with you cent percent ! Soul has come from God and yearns to be with God. Denying this craving of the soul is the greatest sin. Fear is the most potent weapon employed by Satan to subdue humans. Don't give yourself to fear ! Lovely penning dear Joe with profound thoughts. Joseph P. DiMino February 13, 2023 at 2:54 AM Are we not made in the image of God? Beside the Father Himself/herself, what force would hold dominion over us, a force that we need fear and could not simply exile if wrong? Self can be the only true enemy...and the savior -- the Son, our Christ with us.

Bill Baker February 12, 2023 at 8:11 AM I enjoyed your thoughts, Joe. You see through the illusion. Write On! Bill Joseph P. DiMino February 12, 2023 at 8:26 AM Thank you, Bill. I appreciate the encouragement! Blessings my friend.

Victor Buhagiar February 12, 2023 at 2:07 AM Money always leads to all evil if we don't use it properly. Joseph P. DiMino February 12, 2023 at 6:04 AM Thank you so much, Victor. Money and power by themselves are not bad -- God wants no one to be cold and hungry -- but if not controlled by Godly men and women, they are tools of Satan.

Mystic Rose Rose February 12, 2023 at 1:59 AM The Devil is fear! It is just what they have been feeding us out there Joe but you and I know, that God is all of peace and love, they can scare us but they can't beat us. Strong it my friend, strong it for the sake of God's people. :) Joseph P. DiMino February 12, 2023 at 6:05 AM We fight the good fight -- Humbly in Christ's Service, your pal joe.

Gershon Wolf February 11, 2023 at 8:06 PM Amazing write, Joe! The 'green deal' ought to be renamed 'The Green Steal.' thanks, gw Joseph P. DiMino February 12, 2023 at 6:06 AM Ain't that the truth! Well said my friend:)
