Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Truth

The spirit or the flesh?

They are really one-in-the-same, 
internals and externals of creation -- 

the face read-out of our
inner clockworks --  

                         to review
man, his myriad of entangled
relationships, is to begin to understand 
The Politics of Satan vs God 

We can fool the Soulless press, often 
co conspirators in illusion -- Truth
more likened to the quizzical eyes
of children~ amazed, confounded,

and then, lost....

DM Babbit November 12, 2024 at 7:57 AM As Pilate asked Jesus - What is truth? Perhaps it lay only in the eye of the beholder. Joseph P. DiMino November 12, 2024 at 8:57 AM Absolutely! For those who see clearly, as Christ saw, Truth is clearly seen in the eyes of the beholder. In the eyes of the beholder. Self evident. Truth is always true.

Andrea Dietrich November 11, 2024 at 9:58 PM This is so deep. I echo what Silent One so eloquently expressed to you Joseph P. DiMino November 12, 2024 at 9:02 AM Hi Andrea; so pleased I have written something of interest. I keep at it. Blessings my friend.

Silent One November 11, 2024 at 10:52 AM Hey Joe... Your critique of the "Soulless press" as a “co-conspirator” in the distortion of reality highlights a skepticism toward mainstream narratives, juxtaposed with the innocence of children whose “quizzical eyes” embody unfiltered wonder and authentic perception. However, the closing line, "and then, lost..." evokes a sense of loss—perhaps the inevitable fading of truth or purity as we grow older and become entangled in societal illusions. Joseph P. DiMino November 11, 2024 at 6:32 PM Thank you, Si; I am so thrilled and honored by your deep dive into the meaning of this work. Thank you so much my friend. Blessings. Silent One November 11, 2024 at 10:52 AM poem invites us to question where genuine truth lies, suggesting it may exist outside societal constructs
