Inspired, yet not imprisoned, by Systems Thinking for Social Change, by David Stroh

A culture steeped in retribution becomes blind to freedom's contributions accessed best through healing restorations, trust, virtual stuff for democracies most resilient. A society resisting love's innovative brilliance comic and jazzy improvising resonance healing ecosystemic egos dissonant from aquatic wombs of patient advent, Adventuring winter's iceflows of stark stuckness, as impatient as a tongueless mess stuck to a frozen metallic national goalpost just as bells and climate whistles end recess sound a new tune of chaotic harvest. National prison lobbies would lock up tongues and time arbitrarily confining unconverted inmates lying behind naked bars of self-isolation and electric waves of competing institutions, Walls against multiculturing opportunity, defensive moats with hungry crocodiles, black and white defenses against sinful lazy aliens, and aggressive ballistic lobbyists addicted to non-conversations of fear and self-righteous anger, marketing everyday all-white lies of capital-hoarding omission. Collective fears of punishing reparations for sins against past and future poor regenerations expands like melting ice-slow crystals freezing fear escapes so many freedom wronged, confined by greed against imprisoned selves against relentlessly orthodox "Other." Multihappy revolutions of 2020 vision, listening to prison's sad social addictions powering over to rediscover yin-power with prisoners together decriminalizing desecularizing retenderizing pardoning humane nature for past angry RedState patriarchal crimes against Earth's cooperative matriarchal freedom green inspiring Spirit. All of which causal root to reflective branches came, then took off again, to show One WhiteHouse addiction to a HillHell of competing prison power is another's enchantment and/or disenchantment.
