Poem Title:
Poem
It might be said of adolescence, This is a stage demanding economic authority, autonomous freedom to invest and disinvest, without yet accepting concomitant political responsibilities, to family to community to children to grandchildren to disenfranchised populations to Elders' wiser investments, in their permacultural time, to other interdependent species in our food chain and in Earth's political digestion and indigestion food chain, feedback loops, double-bound. Adolescence viewed in this dichotomous way, with Yang economic authority embraced so warmly for short-term profit margins, that Yin's invitation to long-term cooperative political responsibilities remains a naive liberal view of ecological conservation; confuses Yang adolescent dominance with Yang/Yin maturity, patriarchal/matriarchal nondual supremacy over even inclusive anthrocentrism, confuses patriarchal humanist libertarianism without matriarchal humane integrity of synergetic Gaia, hypostatic unioned, negentropic dipolar, nursing bilaterally responsive regenerative systems, incarnating as individual growing-up egos, corporate ecosystems on our interependent way, incorporated non-profits and public sectors too often acting like Industrial Era adolescent competitors, colonizing victims of criminalization and enslavement and addiction and domestic and international terrors through Anger Management and fake BadNews and dark magical nonthinking and fear-mongering feeding deeply encultured patriarchal paranoia, sometimes improving skills for entrepreneurial autonomous bootstraps, where short-term successes include those designing boots thick enough for limited success in a dog eat dog world but longer term outcomes evolve worker- and client- and resident- and GaiaCommons-owned cooperative structures systems networks WinWin games, citizen-owned and managed civil governments, care-receiver owned and managed healthcare cooperative networks balancing mature economic authority with political long-term responsibility, Yang with Yin-wizened wisdom rather than stuck in withering adolescence against each secularLeft and sacred RightBrained bicameral heart.
