Earthy Empathy

You've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."

I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand

I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.

Not so distant from,
I love U.S. society
and nationalistic 
patriarchal monotheism,
absence of healing and empowering polycultures

Or whatever... 
I don't feel like thinking too historically 
or too health systemically about pathology today,

it's just Trump as President we all should religiously adore
salute
celebrate his pompous narcissistic defecation
while standing naked tall on both sold-out
empty-headed rich feet.

And to think he gave up a lucrative White BusinessMan career
over-invested in capturing and raping high end real estate,
developing and seductively marketing naked elitism
and capital worshiping consumerism,
while Earth's climate accelerates 
to simultaneously burn
and flood,

Further polluting rivers
and oceans
and lakes,

Further polluting and thinning what's left
of fertile ground soil,

Further polluting and strangling healthy food 
production
and consumption,

Further stressing slippery non-conservative slopes
neglecting health care systems, domestic and exterior,
and abusing ballistic pathology 
industriously inviting war 
and terror-tool development industries
instead of nurturing cooperative 
gospel sung
multicultural messages

Further bruising and killing internal feelings
and external climates
for both ego-therapeutic
and eco-healing Win/Win peace,
composure,
dignity,
Earth loyalty, 
integrity, 
health, 
synergetic wealth
ecosystemic resonance.

I'm not sure post-millennial people
with or without disabilities,
people with sacred faith in God's goddess-laced diversity
regathering natural/convex
with spiritual/concave images bipolar

Dipolar feeling authentic bicameral tensions
in nationalistic U.S. corporate capital racism,
retributive justice patriarchy,
active fear and anger
incarnating WhiteGod's Wrath
toward Don Trump as failed and bitter
and cynical bullying AntiChrist

In a post-millennial narrative,
we all invite ourselves to unfaithfully return 
to unhealthy Win/Lose capitalistic
LeftBrain dominant
ly encultured ZeroZone
competing anthrocentric non-cooperations.

I'm not sure about my own ZeroZone issues
about loving U.S. 
RightWing economic conservators
moving toward green natural organic 
LeftWing vegan health choices,

Co-investments in
hoarding win/win love experiences 
of divine-humane
within every hue and color
of and for fundamental goodnews 
Win/Win
non-violently communicating
Grace
which embraces all our mythic growth stages
EXCEPT:

Evangelistic jihad
Trump-praising and Patriarch-defending
Great BornAgain elite business dogmatists
ignorant of experience with eco-wealth
of Holy/Holonic 
Yang/Yintegral Balancing 
Spirit of Natural Integrity

Not worshiping capital idols and false gods
loyal to Win/Lose messy EarthClimate Futures,
betting against Creator PatriarchalGod of Love's
kingdom at ecopolitically healthy
1/0 hand

MindBody dissonance is theologically troubling
as bullying fear- and anger-mongering
elite Straight Nationalism 
is so much more like pre-millennial Jealous Yang
than post-millennial God of Green Sojourner Love,
EcoMessiahs of Truth,
Timeless Bodhisattva Beauty,
Harmony,
Integrity...

Maybe we could do Win/Win better
with more green energy democracy
extending family choices.

I do believe Christians have special scriptural reasons
to support organic communion gardens
and permacultural cooperatively-owned and operated 
good shepherd farms,
polycultural EcoSchools
for natural/spiritual bilateral nutrition
before over-investing in anti-ecological
anti-theological 
capital ungreen vampire-nation gains
toward building climate threatening and threatened
shore-front high rises

Destined to fall
for heedless old real estate BusinessAsUsual eyes
still blind to rainbow promise 
proclaiming post-millennial wind turbine Paradise
as a more long-range patriotic investment choice
for coastal MotherLand CoOperatives.

Why such living green prejudice?

Because it is both historical and scriptural wisdom
Gospel people
and sparrows
and lilies
and mustard seeds
are to be known by our love 
with each Other
more than our investments against each other,
especially the non-elite and at risk
of other alien nations and religions and cultures
and maybe ages
and gender
and color
and fragrance
and touch
and feelings
and language
and...

GreenGrace invites us 
To include wounded children and all mothers and grandmothers,
To include residents of punishing legal systems
and insane asylums
and old age homes
and persecuted sanctuaries from our collective failures,

To include people with disabilities
and terrorizing spirits
and trauma inside voices
and lack of outside therapeutic choices,
hope
including healthy organic medicinal responses
to pre-existing unhealthy past conditions.

Do I mean pre-existing sinful mental conditions?

Not necessarily loved quite so much
as pre-existing Win/Lose ignorance of Win/Win humane nature
divine spirit
healthier multi-lateral opportunities

But, yes,
pre-existing sinful conditions
for those who experience sin
as absence of sufficiently healthy multicultural love.

Why not open polypathic bridges
across value paradigms?

What if our love within Earth's divine everyday humanity
teaches us to value enchanting love climates
comfortable for all green
and unseen
compassion resources
rather than more Win/Lose Othering disvalues
exploiting no one more chaotically in military-industrialized disarray
than disenchanted RightWing Trumpian patriarchs

Who originally intended to master 
green resilient economic health
serving Earth's ecological creation stories
of GreatGreen Rapture
co-relational EarthTribe staged
and Win/Win restoratively played 
co-empathically

Humane animals and plants to the loving Left
with 
Divine people in Earth's GreenTribe Grace
JustRight.
