Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Critical Reminders

The faith that capitalism
is the only viable democratic economic system
we have experienced,
or could even ecologically imagine,
MotherTrees to resilient complex forests,
EarthMothers to a resonant democratic society

Reminds me
of the faith that retributive punishment
is the only viable governing political system
we have cooperatively owned and experienced,
or could ever theologically
and resonantly manage
and compassionately imagine
restoring healthy peace,

Reminds me
of the faith that continuing to do the same competitive things,
make the same win/lose mutually feared assumptions,
will eventually result in some different
and less EarthClimate overheated
and critically pathological outcome,

Reminds me
of Einstein's faith that repeating 
competing business as usual default
unreasonably defines left v right handed 
and footed
and bicameral hearted
and headed insanity.
