For Political Story Tellers
Dear journalists,
investigative reporters,
and supporters
of strong and free
democracy,
When elective office candidates,
from dog-catcher
through UN CEO,
claim to champion freedom,
far more than all other candidates
competitively left non-elite behind,
Please ask,
Freedom in which direction?
Freedom to heal
our fading cooperative,
organically multicultural,
complex ecosystemic,
robust wealth climate,
local through global networks?
Or SuperElite freedom,
threatening liberties to destroy alien,
non-elite,
resilient polycultural health?
Or, more ambiguously,
some of confusing both?
And, if so,
Which is freedom
for loving polypathic cooperative health?
And which are competing liberties
to destroy WinWin future organic wealth?
More LeftBrain autonomous
deductive
reductive
monoculturing power
to do as they egocentrically please?
Or more RightBrain interdependent
inductive
inclusive
polyculturing freedom
to do as we ecocentrically co-invite
long-term health-wealth
cooperative
resonant
resilient eco-relationship?
It never hurts to ask
except when candidates
don't even understand our questions,
and often stopped listening
for WinWin social-political opportunities
so very long ago.
When their price for milk
involved sucking cooperatively provided EarthMother nutrients
and not competing to buy patriarchal assets
and xenophobic votes.
