Country Green

I drive through sultry green-leaved countryside; so divorced from toxic urban suicide, I notice a black and white hand-painted sign emerging on my right side of patriotic red resolution, "STAND UP FOR YOUR COUNTRY" Which feels aimed against tall and massive Black Lives Mattering athletes on politicized knees before national commodified cameras of discontent. Yet also aimed at me, longing to erase homophobic "COUNTRY" Despite our polycultural beauty and historical promise of universal democracy, of economic regenerating energy, Longing to replace this monocultural narrow patriotic word with our Whole Open Systemic "PLANET" of interdependent tribes and green cooperative corporations. No sooner thought than multiculturally retransfigured to please and pleasure and paradise us all, STAND UP, AS YOU ARE ABLE, FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND OUR PLANET To do otherwise feels like still having empty hope that Straight White Daddy knows best While his wife and kids and grandkids and other sentient organic property are poisoned, suffocated, drowned, burned, shot, plagued, terrorized, criminalized, hate-crimed, vilified, tarred and feathered, hung, beheaded, commodified, commercialized, bought and sold, rented out, pimped, capitalized, exploited, extracted from the herd, marginalized, impoverished, Othered, sex-crimed While starving, thirsting for global ecofeminist green cooperative win/win EarthJustice Soaking into sultry green-leaved countryside divorced from toxic nationalistic suicide.
