Poem Title:
Poem
I remain stuck and struck by children to be seen behaving but preferably not heard regardless of behavior, But especially not heard criticizing their WiseElders or, probably worse, mimicking them; although some parents, especially grandparents, do see mimicry as graceful flattery and occasionally a disgraceful lesson-- our children hope to see and hear us behaving healthy, in return. This feels very like future employees to be seen functioning properly according to corporate wealth-enculturing rules and not to be heard criticizing their WiseSuperiors. Which may have nothing to do with seniority or merit or wisdom, much less all three, or with WinWin supervisory therapeutic skills. Seen obeying and not heard criticizing also feels like an evangelical fundamentalist of God is Win and the Devil makes us Lose-- a fascist punisher of bad behavior and intrusive colonizing speech Waiting his patriarchal turn to play God getting retributive even bullying those disgraceful not listened to rather than loving all (green) seen as graceful learning DNA/RNA eco-mimicry. Work That Reconnects Future Searches for God as cooperative Gaian Hypothesis, syncretic PositivEnergy Democratic co-facilitators, disciples of healthy grateful co-listening, taking graceful wealth-directing turns ReConnecting parents with children who watch and act and grow with pride of co-creation listening to EarthTribe voices with polycultural multigenerational compassion These FutureSeekers and developers do not monoculturally confine restorative voices of OrthodoxGod to retributive NotSoWise PunishingElders. WinWin CoDesigners appreciate each voice of sacred dignity including Wise NewBorn Integrity, yang still with yin delight Ego co-arising Sacred ElderEco. Patriarchal doers and global movers and planet shakers, but not plant terrorists and punishers, are also FirstNation Matriarchal holy global spirit-listeners, from whom we originally Gaia re-incarnated, Heard DNA with RNA more solidarity empowered PositivEnergy Democracy restoratively therapeutic and seen less as non-violent cooperative weakness. And yet, even with all that said and probably not a prayer of being heard, I remain stuck and struck by children to be seen and preferably not heard by God and Allah and parents and future WinLose punishing employers, monoculturing owners and colonizers more than polyculturing co-operators and DNA WiseElder creolizers.
