Appropriate Cultures

Cultural ownership,
disproportionately lavished upon kings,
the occasional ecopolitical queen,
white male Republican Senators,
elite corporate CEOs
overdriving inside monocultural management
feeding consumer acquisitive appetites

Leads to cultural entitlement

Elitely leads to cultural appropriation,
where I win appropriate proportions
at your loser disproportionate misfortune,

And,
sometimes to multicultural creolization,
where everyone wins Golden Rules
co-arisingly together.
