Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Agreeing To Disagree

I have noticed
in negative strong
long feeling settings
a willingness
to accept impatience
to reluctantly embrace tolerance
and Agree to DisAgree.

Yet, to equate this conclusion
with cooperatively
and actively Agreeing to Positively Agree
with anticipation
rather than further fight anxiety
would be to overvalue tolerance
and to underestimate
differences that polarize
and paralyze permeable
and transparent communication.

We do not meet
everybody wins standards of nonviolently held synergy,
powers of positive communication praxis,
by agreeing to chronically disagree,
shrugging
and leaving the dialogue
with win or lose, who knows?
back to hopelessly stuck,
but now further entrenched
in frustrating irresolution,
looking away
tolerance

Of a discernment
too dumb to GoldenRule agree
to act as decent as a healthy
wolfpack

And too ignorant
to co-invest in present
and future benign integrity.

To believe agreeing to disagree
is sufficient for short-term bridges,
let us be forewarned
agreeing to not yet agree
on mutually appreciated plans
for healthy inclusive democracy

Is quite far from cooperative value enhancements
of agreeing to compassionately agree
we are here together
to unconditionally extend 
all EarthTribe's health and safety

Polyamorously cooperative
eco-political regenerativity,
revolutionary winAnthro+winEarth
democratic positive outcomes
of mutually appreciated
passions of loving minds
and pleasures of thriving bodies.
