If I Were She
If I were S/He
I would look downstream
for a power so high
this mythic enlightenment feels sacredly deep
and widely therapeutic
mystical in feeling,
practical in application.
If I were She
I would declare a new Wisdom:
National superpowers corrupt
toward fundamentally polarizing RightWing dominance
Just as global enlightenment heals
toward evangelical gospel GreenQueen
MotherEarth empowerment.
If I were S/he
I would break ballistics
into cooperatively-owned shovels
shares in bioregional GreenPeace
non-violent warriors inviting
never demanding
health is wealth co-passions
Planting peace with shade trees
and berry bushes,
pollinators
grasses
enriching sandy soils
supporting water
then remediated living waters
rivers
flowing toward deep
wide surfing sea-sons
And daughters
eco-governing five-star reasons
to both vacation
and vocation
in cooperative integrity.
If I were S/He
I would breathe out Holy Spirits
and breathe back in sacred Father's SunLight
Powers of bicameral
contextual
co-empathic
ego/eco
secular/sacred Great Green/Blue CoPassions
For feminist economics
supporting healthy MotherEarth
green democratic biosystems
deeply healthy and widely wealthy ecosystems,
theologically SheCoLogical.
If I were She
I would first change all First Amendment
Rights to fight
with framed up free
but misinforming speech
and armed/threatening militarized
monetized
corporate-supported assembly;
To CoResponsive Right to non-violent
eco-politically accountable
transparent speech
and disarmingly vulnerable co-empathic Invocations,
sacred cooperative economic visions
of EarthTribe health care communion
planning
Enlightening copowers
defending multicultural health
and global LivingCreatures,
BioSystemic ReCreation,
EarthClimate Safety.
Then our grateful Republicans,
now having learned how to listen
more conservationally Win/Win Green
and healthy red-blooded matriarchal
Don't Mess With Mama!
and Her long-term health care plans
To move Her great grandkids
onto green tripartisan platforms,
cooperatively owned
both/and competitive plantations,
organic farms
with clean, pure, deep river-frontage,
wide panoramic mountain views
of externally Wondrous
and internally Awesome
Sacred Habitats
Peculiarly South-faced
filled with past resilient regenerative light
of Holy Extended Family Ghosts
of slaves
illicitly unfree to love
unredeeming fear and anger,
hate
and drunken self v Other loathing.
If I were S/He
I would grab on to Restoring Climate Justice
with all our best non-violent, most joyful and liturgical,
not dirgical, communication
by at least letting go of Retributive
FearPrivileged Punishments
Yielding downstream wide
and upstream deep co-empathically enlightening
and cooperatively empowering
Patriarchal CoPassions
with Matriarchal S/He
bicameral co-prominence
Left out of RightWing capital acquiring
zealous corporate plans
to vote against HealthyGreen ecotherapeutic climates
of feeling powerful liberating health
and conserving enlightened EarthMother wealth
Of EcoFeminist Wisdom,
If I were S/He.
