Conflicting Commitments

Where and when I find a commitment
to capitalism
to buying and selling Earth
to patriarchalism
to racism
to Western SWM LeftHemisphere cultural dominance
to win/lose global economic politics,

I do NOT find
a commitment to compassion,
to love,
to non-violence,
to cooperative ownership and management,
to a healthy democratic win/win economic empowerment system,
to left with right hemisphere neuro-psychological resonance,
to secular/sacred EarthTribe resilience.

When and where I embody our healthy commitment
to lavish
boundless
radical compassion,
to nonviolent communication experience
to nonviolent philosophical
ecological
theological theory,
however hypothetically
and cooperatively held, owned, managed,

I can no longer passively tolerate
monopolitistic win/lose capitalism,
buying and selling of Earth
and sacred EarthTribe residents,
monotheistic patriarchalism,
monoculturing colonization,
systemic and left-brain rationalized racism,
monocratic left-hemisphere overwhelming aggression
against win/win dipolarity
co-arising emergent multi-contextual intelligence,

Polyphonic right-brained,
polycultural left-brained,
polynomial geo-metrics = not(not) bilaterally polypathic ego/eco-logic

Sacred reasons
stimuli
causes
inductions
inhalations
impressions
invitations,
predicting healthy 
nutritional seasons

And less
bicameral debate,
unitarian v universalism,
7th principle v 1st principle,
yin-terdependent eco-flow v yang ego-strength,
about conflicting commitments.
