Poem
We often lament long-term effects of slavery on those enslaved across multiple generations. Enslavement leads to addiction and codependent denial, then is taught and mentored to enslaved children, also separated from family and sold, until third generations and beyond were dressed in commodified adoptions and creolizing adaptions and fear and anger and despair about not born good enough right enough correctly enough healthy enough timely enough to gratefully know God's White Caste Grace. As hellish as this continuing historic lamentation co-arises a tale of chronic traumatic stress disorder issuing from slave owners who purchased human nature with a contract exchanging money for rights and responsibilities and violent terrorism of animal husbandry. The children of slave owners, and those who profited by economic and political relationships with this ancient breed of traumatized neurotic, if not psychotic, people owners continue a contagious curse of unresolved stress disorders to the extent we allow ourselves to hide behind entitled to be superior ego-manias. To the extent slavery and concomitant addictions to violence and racism, xenophobia and sexism, capitalism and ageism, (years of potential return on investment) resolve to heal White Caste Grace, to that extent we are open to profound creolization of love, available only through gratitude for sacred dignity of all God's Earthly Creations, in all our polyculturing diversity. Yet unresolved owning of people, sex as transaction between buyer and sold, and more violent ways and means of husbandry as applied to women and not straight enough men, children, poor and vulnerable populations, criminalized and shamed and disgraced stigmatizations, all carry these worn threads of traumatic stress disorder, human natural lives as if competitions to own and control and rent and manage other angry fear-avoiding people were compatible with abundant political ecology of grace and mutual gratitude's democratically ubiquitous response. While the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions greatly expanded the scale of slave and people-owner tensions and pathological husbandry enculturations, moral ambiguities about humane patriarchal stewardship and matriarchal domesticating husbandry repressions appear to be as old as Creation Stories. Freedom for healthy interdependent relationships remain in tension with deeply etched fears of self-enslavement and angry insecurities about intrinsic grace and value and dignity shared by all Earth's Tribes, all God's Sacred Creations, continuing internal landscapes of enslaved property and more exterior climates of growing competitive rabid over-heated over-populated Yang-dominant pathology, rather than Yang/Yin creolizing harmony. Transitioning from the Industrial and Agricultural Revolutions into a permaculturally Sustainable Evolution invites each of us to embrace this great divide written across each unhealed yet interdependent heart, part humane slave owner and part domesticated addict of self-denial, to continue more resonant matriarchal self-husbandry with gratitude for healthy grace, with love for and with and of this Earth space, spiritual interior and natural exterior creolizing place.
