Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Choosing Empowering Values

What values do I choose
for a human body?
mind?
nature?
spirit?
sensory soul?

What values do we choose
for a humane embodied species?
for maleness?
for femaleness?
Yang and/or Yin values?
for empowering strength
and enlightening flow?

Do we choose these values
or do we inherit them?
Wholesale values
learned from marketable skillsets
developed from those now physically gone
yet metaphysically 
and multiculturally forever?

Or do we also choose
as we mature in chosen/unchosen experience
to embellish
and extend
humane empowering memories
and enlightening imaginations
out to all Earth LifeTribe cooperative values,

And predative disvalues, rooted in anger,
flowering in retributive injustice systems
authorized by straight and/or white and/or male privilege,

And competitive misvalues, 
choosing win/lose survivalist fear of change

To value profoundly regenerative
polycultural
multicultural becoming together
in valued sexual bodies,
evaluative sensory minds,
revalued sensually experienced hearts,
invaluable bicameral souls,
root organic energy systems
for enlightenment
left-brain dominant,
empowerment
right-brain multiculturally prominent

Morality of past light memories
for future EarthPower 
humane-divine 
natural-spiritual
secular-sacred 
ecological-theological 
resiliently-resonantly valued imaginations.

What healthy values 
do we most wealthily imagine
for a human body?
democratically egalitarian mind?
unprejudiced nature?
compassionate spirit?
humane culture?
divine climate?
sensory listening soul?
