Poem Title:
Poem
The generic-brand black and white bumper sticker on the commercial passenger van announces MY GOAL IS SAFETY. I immediately know this cannot be the van driver’s intent, much less praxis, so boldly bald-tire displayed, MY SOLE GOAL FOR BEING HERE IS MY SAFETY. My sole purpose, soul’s meaning is defense against possibility of offensive initiatives against cooperative schools and defensive driving tools heading our way. I guess rather too much for a bumper sticker from and for Earth’s merely human condemning pilgrims. Even so, not exactly fine print, this issue of what is our main goal and what outcomes should we expect from our/your drive through life today? But, surely not top goal as mere safety? As a parent, much less a political candidate, leader of vulnerable futures, is your main goal for this next generation mere safety? I can more multiculturally see regenerative healthy balance of safety with wondrously enlightening enlivening grand epic adventures, self-optimizing healthy climates and landscapes and homes extending co-empathically trusting families of regenerative Yang Bold holding Yin Safe. Abundant flow of ecopolitical freedom from/to balancing powers with nutritionally enriching dynamics from infancy through passing Back through further regenerative futures of EarthCentric health and happiness and deep learning eternal prosperity. I can’t see myself voting for this political candidate driving with bumper stickers promising MY ECOPOLITICAL GOAL IS SAFETY (especially from you?) Defensive WinLose strategies against other monochromatic culture defenders with rabidly terrorizing, overpopulating pathologies, negative viral party intent against Earth’s healthy-wealthy futures, now already co-operatively present, climates of ecological empowering abundance; political power relationships as economic nutritionally integrative transactions, psychological and deep learning ecoconsciousness, cognitive-neural biosystemic sciences as if Earth’s healthy bicameral climate ecology mattered more than furthering faux-patriotic Business As TooCompetitively Usual MY GOAL IS UNMITIGATED DEFENSIVE PARANOIA. Excellent. Now he is passing me on the right, no lane change light, going about 20 mph over posted sustainable limits, and I think he just lit his pants on fire when his cigarette fell on his not-so-safely defended crotch. Namaste, my brother. Bless your unsafe heart, Namaste.
