Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Growing Healthier Humanity

A significant line might be drawn
between long-term permaculture design
and agribusiness,
improved this year production
through better and more expansive chemistry,
soil and water and air and light pollution.

We might draw a parallel contrast
between inclusive Earth-nurturing politics
and elitist anthropocentrism

Between human natural purpose 
and Earth-nature's felt wealth 
of healthy co-passionate meaning

Between divine cooperation 
inducing continuous Yin-flow
belonging in joy
and human competition 
deducing discontinuous Yang-strength
of longing to restore Earth Justice

Between cooperative stewardship
and anti-ecological autonomy of human nature's
competitive capital-dominant rulership.

From a LeftBrain deductive dominant perspective
this line looks like Old School preservation,
of mutual antipathy.
Yet, from a cooperative Left-Right mindbody perspective
this same line
looks and feels
like a dipolar appositional space
for incubating heuristic co-empathic trust

For significant deep learning Both-And co-empathy,
rather than necessarily always and only Either-Or antipathy,
appositionally benign rather than always
and everywhere bipolar toxic

A nonviolently co-passionate practice
of egoMe/ecoWe 
+1/-(-0) cobinary 
peace-making perspective.

Just as Either-Us/Or-Them cognition 
follows Win v Lose 
not health-effective outcomes,
while Both-Us/And-Them follows Win+Win 
bipartisan transactional resilience outcomes
for EarthGame Day and Night 
compassionate Earth-wealth continuance.

So, suppose,
both UpperCaste and LowerCaste positions,
at the risk of oversimplifying a multiculturally caste situation

Republican nationalistic agri-vating business
merely an appositional uncreative distraction
from Democratic polyculture delighting designs
and multicultural power planning

For CoOperative Earth Ownership 
and ReGenerative TransForming Governance,
still including some degenerative-decomposing functions,
yet without recreating a runaway waste stream
nor a runaway personal, family, community,
or national nutritional, financial, or health-assurance deficit.

That's what's been up-caste 
and down-caste 
within my bicameral Yang/Yin mind.
What's been co-evolving with you 
and your unconditional love-extending family?
