Cleaning House

If cleanliness thrives next to godliness, could wealthy White Houses, slick and in their capital-sucking groove, survive when paired with homelessness? This question presupposes perhaps a radical view that divine powers are more homeless than secured behind military-industrialized, greed capitalized, plutocratic White Houses. Is your god's aspirations toward Earth's homeless sustainable revolution, where outside is benign inside and inside out vice-versa? Or leaning more toward supplanting human nature's industrial needs with politically self-empowering greeds-- gates closed against the rabble? I suppose your god could remain both egocentric and become more ecocentric, just as the White House could remain a temporary shelter for those empowered by co-empathic wisdom of our humane species' ultimate homelessness without a healthy Earth. But, in White Houses of this sort, the gates, if needed, open from both sides. The perimeter fence grows lower slower which is not higher faster self-absorption. The lawns North and South and East and West extend toward all our homeless cousins, Elders not yet burned and buried from healthy memory, and those yet to become born from matriarchal wombs into a more sustainable revolution of shared homelessness. Where Earth is home sufficient for all, or we all continue toward climates of homelessness in gated Only White Houses Matter of nationalistic greed far surpassing Earth's need for vulnerability and integrity of a multiculturally homeless co-messianic co-redemptive recreative bodhisattva warrior; a reweaving god of and for omnipotently co-operative love.
