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.
