Poem Title:
Poem
I wonder what it means we are a multicultural species still capable of waging war, employing ballistic terrorists, investing in capitalism's ruthless game of surgical monopoly to become patriarchs of bloodied mountains, This feels related, perhaps co-arising, with inability to distinguish an ecology of natural grace from an efficient economy of spiritual just rewards, Ego's self-righteous returns for prudent win/lose strategic investment in owning Earth, pieces of the property pie, and renting human secularized resources by the mundane weekday hour, or contractual time-clock year Leaving behind jubilee years hopes and tears and sabbaths for those naturally deprived and spiritually poor; meat to feed future real-world war machines. Victories and defeats in war, terror, shouting-matches, strategic aggression against maligned characters, colonizing predation, political and religious monopolization of win/lose investments in overpowering persuasion-- These can all be earned, but not graced. Love, life, health, natural/spiritual hybrid wealth, awe, compassion, gratitude, kindness, mercy, cooperativity, synergy, regenerativity, integrity, restoration, resonance, recreation, healing, co-redemption, communion-- These are signs and wonders, powers and co-arising principalities of sacred grace, and cannot be earned or reductively unlearned. What could be evolving purpose in outrageously degenerative wars, deliberate intent to terrorize and counter-terrorize, hate, oscillating cycles of anger and fear, evil humors and cynical financial investments against each sacred Other, against Earth's habitual health? What could be revolving meaning in ecosystemic wealth of co-passionate powers? Religions of polycultural kindness, multicultures of cooperative integrity, Earth's natural/spiritual economies of permaculturing grace.
