Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Wisely Choose Your Toke

I believe prayer is a messenger
and Heaven hearkens to take note – 
for we are born with a Cardinal Yoke:
the Garden's Fruits revisited 
throughout our ripening ages – God's Grace
confounded by the Devil's enticing
cloak....

I know that science rejects such mystery

as do atheists with whom I have spoke

their finely ground lenses 
seeing no reflective evidence
of those jewels 
called Spiritual Mastery

while embracing the
many mental gymnastics 
of an equally obscure 
but fashionable 
Modern Woke – 

penning their Earth Religions

inhaling copious clouds

of seemingly far less mystical

while to me 

nonetheless

SMOKE....
