Poem Title:
Poem
Politics is about power. We have over-powering competitions, so we also have disempowering lack of being competitive. And, we also have power with. Cooperative power. In game theory, these are WinLose political strategies and WinWin co-empowering local through global politics. Political correctness is about correct use of power for political health, political wealth of system-wide power; Political incorrectness is WinLose disintegrating power while WinWin integrity is about growing more powerfully correct, erect, resiliently interdependent together-- more of a hand out than a stick up. Those of us with the great good fortune to be guests on this Earth at the same time, more or less, share our personal empowering journeys A power pilgrimage from past unfortunate incorrect events, rooted in WinLose competitive power-over habits, habitats sometimes including inappropriate humor at the expense of those who can least afford further abuse, on toward democratic equity and interdependent power resilience, cooperative solidarity held and nurtured. Political correctness is not necessarily fastidious, nor ritualistic nor mechanically calculating and mendacious; We could more correctly settle for some healthy accuracy, about what leads toward robust mutual empowerment and what leads in the other Have/Have-Not business as WinLose usual direction. For example, we can probably not successfully or even correctly wage an overpowering war against many things, but we most certainly cannot correctly succeed in warring against war. That's like declaring You win! before we all lose even more. On the other hand, We also can never successfully fight for cooperative love, For in this fighting we have already lost the only thing politically accurately even fastidiously correctly healthily worth living for.
