Here We Are

Here we are huddling together,
not yet our collective nightmare
nor our communal wetdream.

At our best,
struggling compassionately together 
in-between future and past
polyculturally climaxing health 
and monoculturing deep valleys
of dark pathology

At our worst, 
competing against each other
unscientifically inorganic,
resenting what our elders too liberally exhausted before us,
and what our children and grandchildren expect us
to conserve for them.

Here we are,
re-imagining what becomes theoretically possible
for power of unmerited, and unmetered, light
and not brightness of monotheistic power

Re-creating multicultural serenity
re-storying nutritional economic pursuits
re-deeming MotherNature's political passions

scientific and religious 
organic and sacred 
pleasures

While finding ever new positively healthy variables
to reproduce multi-regenerational soul food cooperatives,
savory economies of polyamorous healthcare
for geopolitically accessible win/win compassion

Without snapping food from each Other's future mouths
like rabid wolves

Without commodifying
plasticizing
militarizing moist indigenous values 
of EarthMother's sacred living water
with rivered freedom to flow out
and rise again,
as we once valued gold
and salvation.

Here we are, 
dry-humping Earth's healthy win/win
poly-empowering potential, 
huddling against past traumatic win/lose 
unenlightened mono-colonizing retributions

Praying SkyFather will not collapse 
before we have raped 
our sacredly rapturous MotherEarth
irreligiously raw.
