Disempowering Missions
Begin
by composing grandly outsized mission statements,
"To end racism, ignorance, sin."
Continue
to accept past win/lose separations,
divorces,
fragmentation
as tolerable compromises
while power-wrestling business as capitalistically, financially
and politically, socially, culturally, historically
and psychologically, individually, ego-systemically
and ecologically, tribally, communally, eco-systemically
and theologically usual competitions.
"My gospel,
self-empowering truth,
is more divinely inspired than yours."
Rather than,
"How have our diverse gospels become inherited
from past compassionate win/win
divinely inclusive,
multiculturing SacredSources?"
Conclude
with all your old right answers
and not any newly shared curious
and open questions.
"Why are we so sure/unsure
racism, ignorance, sin
are original causes of climate pathology
rather than either/or competition's symptoms
following left brain cultured dominance?"
