Poem
I wilt with guilt, self blame, too comfortable with living midway within this United 5% stealing 28% of Time's encrusted fossil investment as if by collective right as if without loss, no reparations for the other 95% today or for the 100% of future generations born nearly bankrupt of healthy economic trends suffering from our eco-dislogical bender. What I must know from those who would lead us through the next two or four or six years, What is your cooperative political and economic experience, aspiration, vision, informed by the pursuit of physical wealth measured in inclusive mental health, rich nutritious optimization choices moving you and us away from BusinessAsUsual Win-Lose strategies sub-optimizing Win-Win resilient intent. Please let us not settle for Winning now by choosing Loser policies for tomorrow! How can you reassure us that our vulnerable children will not be over-heated by grandparents stealing from all Earth's tribal presence and future, further shredding karmic grace of healthy eco-normic pace? If we are global citizens, how can we tolerate allowing our kids to deliberately aim ballistics against each other? to take nature's irreplaceable energy so outrageously, violently, to strip our water and air of their mutual climatic balance our soil raped of health, our own future potential aborted bereft of health and justice birthright which mindless violence and short-sighted Win-Lose competition have squandered. Show me the candidates who study their own priorities as incarnated by their colleagues, discern how they can combine strengths to cooperatively develop optimized health wealth as both domestic and global necessity. If candidates cannot establish Win-Win campaign priorities, why would we believe they know how to develop Win-Win policies? If candidates cannot explain how they are fully invested in their local cooperative economies and inclusive governance discernment then how could they explain their default to competitive BusinessAsUsual Win-Lose politics and economics in which I have lost all faith in outcomes other than collapse and failure? We must more fully incarnate Earth's synergetic evolution of health as ecopolitical measure of sustainable wealth. Missing this primal priority is suicidal cannibalism, eating our own children's integrity, viability for loving unconditional life more than hating inevitable death. Where are our Boddhisatva Cooperative Warriors, willing to embrace this challenge of active love in private as public life? We have run out of time for second string illusionists, for not fully investing in first string compassionists.
