Feeling Green

I see with new eyes now why you needed me to be red and not so green, possibly obscene And why now my greenness has escaped into your undeniable public domain My lack of straight-up red bloodiness must be my demonic devious demented degenerate choice. And yet you become harder now still denying green co-investments, too could be healthy thrival and good revival So trust in truth became more imperative to be dogmaticvally sure I made a wrong and nasty choice to be not red or preferably dead And if not manly sure then what else did all these pastors maybe not get monoculturally monotheistically right by never listening panentheistic mindfully also win/win left? What Othering abortions might you need to question if red could be wrong? When mean to green not just mistrust separate but red superior Like humans are to mammals and lesser nonpartisan sentient beings, like sunflowers and lilies MotherTrees in resonant fragrant cool grace-forests Preoccupied by predations with allies, micro-aggressions, win/lose-diplomacy, crime prevention monocultures of punishment from Divine Empowering Light outweighing trauma prevention sacred green win/win emotional/contextual intelligence Not quite so paternalistically precious, mindful of humane grace through peak cooperative experiences repurposing EarthTribe's sacred seeding space. So I seed now why you needed me to be red and not so green, possibly obscene, because this worldview could not have been challenged within your straight white male chauvinistic non-choice.
