Listening Emphatically
When personal narcissism
and tribal autism
choose our words
as hurting
threatening
weapons of trauma defense
Rather than choosing wealth
of healing win/win tools
for compassion's therapeutic
mind/body unfence
We soon find
that no one cares
to impatiently listen
outside our partisan walls
For whatever future mindful kindness
and EarthBody forgiveness
we cannot trust
will win/win
wealth/health last.
