Dervish Earthdance
I sometimes reconsider
all our politicians
and economists,
Not as party-line teachers,
or even dogmatic preachers,
instead as future forecasting,
co-infesting deep past
and present listening
with compassioning
co-empathic
therapeutic intent
to laugh and sing.
Who is not
at least a private health care politician
seeking to empower our heart-felt constituencies
and not to disempower?
What responsible adult
is not at least a personal wealth economist?
Praying for divine enlightenment
and not so much
inhumane
depressing endarkenment?
Who has been
cause-effect
effectively recausing
counter-culturally
exposed to Buddhist master laughter?
Meditation in silly groups
feeling nearly giddy
with short-term relief
from mountainous depression
valleys of despair
Surprised,
perhaps dismayed,
that such a fake
pretending dervish exercise
might portend more
than our species' economic
political
anti-ecological demise.
I further wonder
if all Earth's depressed
suppressed
oppressed
repressed muted muses
Silenced
stunned
sunk by political sadness
dispiriting badness
economic madness
of Earth's Great Transitional Pandemic
Might discipline our lonely
lethargic
neglected bodies
to dance
until our minds remember how to sing
and ring
ping and ding
a liturgy of sacred laughter things
together regathering
For re-empowering compassioned muses
enlightening sacred ecstatic economists,
co-investing companies and choirs
of moving
mindful
musicality,
harmony,
synergy,
win/win cooperative energy,
sufficient for eco-politically heart-felt
lung-filled integrity
To more reflectively reconsider
all our singing polities
and EarthDance economies
sanctifying dervish universal
universities.
