Counting Cumulative Costs

What does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth's MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.

Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot divide such universal costs
against ego resilience
too willing to sacrifice ecosystemic environmental health,
transmogrifying into angry
and frightened cosmic players
in toxic EarthMother quicksand

No longer so patrilinear certain
where Earth's regenerative humane losses began
and EarthMothers' degenerating ecofeminist gains
become reborn
restored
repaid
redeemed
restoried
reconnected
religioned multicultural health values
indigenously Win/Win 
upending Green Common Values,
full nature/spirit
nat/spires
out/in
yang/yintegral revolution

Sacred revival
secular inform/exflow 
space/time
1/0 ego/eco-zone 
light/power thrival

NonViolent ecological dialogue norms,
speaking logos/mythic restoring EarthJustice
theological values,
listening for integral Whole Wild Earth multicultures
of co-invested compassion

Underlying anthrosupremacist presence
costs transportive health and communication safety,

Whose EarthMatriotic absence
divests of win/win reiterative opportunities
and over-invests in win/lose redundant risks,

While Yang's Great Universal Capitalized Earth
counts only patrilinear monotheistic costs
charged disproportionately
against NonElite Yintegral EarthMothers
invoking unitarian co-redeeming economies
for our ecologically compatible
co-passionate
co-empathic value development

Weeping with anger
and fear
of anthrosupremacist cost overruns,
Lose/Lose runaway dis-ecological mono-theologies
of jealous StraightWhiteGods
invoking anti-multisexual rage,
missionary greed exceeding messianic grace.

Capital-Colonizing-Caste triumphalic consciousness
left-brain monoculturally dominant
Either/Or reductive pat-riotic bias
means not Both/And
inductive matri-multi-poly-thecoistic regenerative

NonViolently evolving dipolarity
recounting
reconnecting what has devolved
into bipolarizing demonic dissonance
infestment
global loss of ego/eco/theological  shared values
costing right-brain synergetic sacred suppression
diminution
division
dissociation

Of Multi-generational
matri-cumulative recycling DNA treasures
inside/outside rememories
retelling costs to natural seasonal 
spiritual development

And cost-effective dual-redemption ego/eco-nomials
of spring hope investment accounting

And summer faithful regenerative climax
enlightenment

And autumn's health and safety
robust harvest empowerment

Of winter's whitenoise wisdom wealth
without compassion emptying costs
of monopolistic right-wing reactionary Walls
against MotherEarth's Original Prime Communication WorldView,
left/right bicamerally winged,
walked,
sung and danced,
heard then seen,
smelled then tasted,
touched, then felt healthy needs
and cost wealthy wants.

What does it not cost
to support a health-restoring justice EarthTribe,
living home,
green ecosystemic habitat?
