Controlling Narratives

It all comes down to

Do you believe more
in enlightening original Earth creation stories
or
in empowering messianic passion narratives.

What comes down
inhaled
drawing in light
may reasonably appear like a monotheistic weapon
to avoid patriarchal-capitalist loneliness
loss

What goes out
exhaled
empowering polytheistic tools
to embrace polypathic-cooperative 
co-passions.

What are we coming down and up
in and out toward?

Life,
love,
purpose,
destiny, I suppose,
whether secularly and democratically
universally enlightening multicultural stories
or sacredly and theistically
unitarian narratives
co-empathically empowered.

Yes, I see
your massive LeftBrain verbal story
Truth OR Fiction

AND then raise our RightBrain cooperating feelings
mythically narrating more.
