Watching the Henhouse
Once upon Trump time,
Free-range,
organic,
totally uncaged hens
brown
and black
and even white
and all things in-between
prepared to vote for more green climate health
growing indoor/outdoor good-egg chicken family values
planning to optimize healthy wealth
green ecoschool henhouse natural-spiritual remodeling
for deep and richly wide learning
to bilaterally listen
before and after
cooperatively speaking,
especially when rewriting history
and transubstantiating sacramental scripture,
outer henifestations
of inner RealTime felt organic experiences.
Anyway,
there were two candidates,
and possibly more,
to facilitate their Future Search
work that reconnects Past
health to wealth
ego/eco abundance
non-violently practicing inside/outside egg nurturing values
for at least the next SevenGenerations.
One was an aging unprivileged GreenHen
some saw as having lost touch
with their own non-elected
non-elite
hen peck-ordered around
and bullied lives
of single
and competing brown and black and white hungry hens
thirsting for more and better fast food
and sweetgrass water
and organic soil
with lots of grubs for snacks.
The other candidate was the Fox,
who was,
not surprisingly, supported and endorsed,
occasionally worshiped,
by FoxNews
and other ego-privileged natural evolution competitors
hoarding fried chicken assets
even though that cost
less hens available for future Fox generations
of consumers and producers.
The Fox
promised his own egocentric watch
to overlord the HenHouse
promising to eat all alien hens,
outside our protagonists' organic health-planning walls,
first, for breakfast,
then clear out the unprivileged hen-pecked
sinful chickens, preferably plump and robust, for lunch,
and their annoying little chicks too,
And DJ Fox merely smiled
and twittered
and "We'll see" threatened and bullied
in nonresponse to Mainstream Media questions
about who is fair-game left, or even right,
for his health-wealthy Fox dinner
in dark failing future FoxDen
of mendacity.
Who do you think the chickens chose
to co-facilitate their plans to live happily,
cooperatively,
even actively democratic,
and healthy climate
ever non-violently after
lack of BadNews terror and drama history?
I can't terrify you
with which candidate
became this henhouse anti-facilitator
against an EcoVillage Future Search
for Work and Play That Reconnects
chickens messing with foxes
and Foxes WinWin playing with powerful OrganiChickens,
but I can give you a finger-licken hint
The youngest chicks for health care receiving
and giving happy peeps in return
were not allowed to peep-vote,
nor was the slightest peep even listened to
about disabled sky is falling alarms
of annoying prescient consciousness
feeling fatally overpopulated Fox privileged climates
meant HenHouse future pathology
When Foxes are left to watch
and despotically rule
and do all the fast fried food
Foxy ChickenBusiness As Mendaciously Usual
it's hard to conclude
all HenHouses lived happily
or even quasi-cooperatively
ever timeless after.
At best
difficult to predict climate health
indoor and outdoor
while ignoring the thirsty peeps
of depressed
repressed
suppressed Earth PolyPathic Chicks
still in daily HereNow polyphonic love
with cooperatively-owned
Ego/Eco HealthWealth School.
