Poem Title:
Poem
The number of folks sitting on the back porch waiting for peace to strike, like waiting for my garden to grow without yet having planted it. The number of people noticing that chronic victims suffer from critical victimization events, minus the number who also notice that chronic crimers also suffer from critical criminalization events. The number of people horrified by the number of victims of prejudicial discriminashunishtion against their ethnicity, economic lack of class, and suitable gender, and age of maturation but also unaware of how we could better celebrate positive multicultural discriminations for diverse ethnicities, economic cooperative sufficiencies of fairly decent incomes together better than apart, genders, including preferences, and age-appropriate behaviors. The number of folks who also see impoverishment and marginalization, chronic social criminalization, whenever they hear it said of retributive justice, deterrent incapacitation and restraint as additional most negative, and possibly unnecessary, constraints. The number of leaders we select willing to settle for uniform dark punishments of retributive overkill, without the slightest hint of redistributive overjoy most anywhere for or with anyone, mistaking this for unity of restorative purposes we more peacefully and co-redemptively so long for. The number of excellent scientists and parents seeking deductively reasoned learning processes by day while dreaming inductively co-operative seeking warmer compassions through each night. The number of economists and politicians too, of parents and educators recognizing communication through diversely humming channels beyond simply straightforward speaking and hearing and watching, to include RNA's more regeneratively primal feeling and tasting and absorbing through shared root systems, functioning like reverse lickers and stickers and salivators and saps and pheromone freaks. The number of scientists who might somehow come to realize that tree conversations could take place through rooting systems underground, plus those who also celebrate implications that tree co-empathic conversations are, at their highest on-line best, currently over our mutually co-regeneratively reiterating redundant ecopolitical clouded heads. The number of folks who feel complicit in our punished guilt plus those who can still celebrate our nature's mutually complicit restorative passions, born both loving predator and beloved prey, until parents and Sunday School and day care teachers teach WinLose other not-so-wise. The number of communication buffs who think these two populations, society's predators and victims reallllly neeeeed to talk, and listen, and not so much both at the same time, and probably not lick or hit with a stick because that would be so icky. The number of kids who would predict that their parents and teachers will compete to heat our climates up so we all can drown together, regardless of primal tribal co-identities. The number of prophets recognizing selves as original native residents of indigenous EarthTribes, speaking and listening cooperatively for co-planting, and thereby growing, ego's active cooperating peace as and of and for eco-restorationelating justice, Left in rational solidarity with SacredRight, DNA mutually sniffing RNA's optimal Paradisal CoOperating Climates. The number of folks still settling for talking and praying against demonic climate changes, when we could also be cooperatively planting and growing rich climates of health, cultures of gratitude at least for and with front porch EarthFlag-waving Positive PsychoEcoLogists. The number of people who fail to recall that what ever you were taught as Orthodoxy's Sacred Truth, at one time was first naturally felt and sensed as eisegetical WinWin hope, mutually-licking and sticking hypo-principaling around theses with their appositional un- and anti-theses. The number of systemic processors actively hoping for zero-sum ego-in eco-out balancing, Plus-Plus double-binding both before and after notnotnotnot yet bilaterally timeless linear Time restoring polypathic RealTime Tipping Points of ZeroSoul rationality. The number of Earth's creatures waiting for war's continuing fires to drop when we could more cooperatively learn to wait instead for peace's inside-outside other nondual secular-sacred nature-nurturing shoe to drop.
