Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

History of Patriarchal Politics

While I am usually prepared to forgive historians
for their plutocratic tendencies,

We, Earth's vast rabble of anthropocentric well-wishers,
usually prefer our political leaders,
our health and motivational professionals,
our community and economic leaders,
and at least our own parents and teachers
to demonstrate more democratically generous preferences
for remembering and sharing healthy co-invested powers,
not quite so royally elitist "We know best"

More bodhisattva; 
less messiah.

I, for one and all,
prepared to celebrate more cooperatively inclusive historians
with more democratically dense,
bountifully matriarchal, 
mindful wealth,
including radical abundance 
of co-empathic trust
in heart-felt beauty,
grace,
intrinsic dignity of democratically shared life,
and indignity of autocratic death.

May Earth's Great Transitional 
publishing and marketing houses,

and "gotta win right now
to later revisit long-term democratic 
historically healthy win/win thrival" parties

Reconsider
reflect on
revisit
reconnect
reweave 
our deeply re-ligious history

of nondualistic 
co-arising 
politically curious
rambunctious 
revolutionary democratizing souls
and panentheistic 
WholeSum Spirit saints

usually unprepared to forgive patriarchal historians
for their plutocratic tendencies.
