A Feel For White Privilege
Sometimes I need to hear
what straight white male dominant privilege
what systemic racism
what degenerative ungreen anthro-supremacism
what xenophobia and yin-repression
what homophobia sounds like hate
and smells sour and acrid and decaying
Before I can fully appreciate,
invest in,
and investigate what regenerative EarthJustice
and multicultural communion
eco-womanist green resilient health care trends,
climate optimizing wealth
inclusively democratic cooperative reweaving
looks like
And feels more like
a robust organic garden
Than extracted
exhausted
deduced-reduced
irreparably severed
fracked
fornicating
capital-hoarding oil and gas fields
Or kleptocratic
partisan
military-industrial business as usual parties
Where not wearing masks
has become a denialist symbol
of health disdain
as compared to financial profit worship,
Climate and culture of corporate wealth-fundamentalists
and anti-SacredEarth evangelicals
and unpatriotic disowners
disloyal to Earth's healthy democratic constitution.
Sometimes I need
a degenerative religiously fascist reminder
Where there is no healthy EarthCentric culture,
There could be
No resiliently regenerative
multiculturally democratic
healthy climate of nonviolent remediation.
