Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

MAD Crazy Choices

Believing you are for growing economic opportunities 
and shrinking anthropocentric financial risks 
AND 
believing, to do so,
we must tolerate shrinking environmental EarthMother health 
and growing nature's nutritional pathology,
is a confusion of cultural ways 
and climate means. 

There could be no such anthropocentric thing 
as a resilient economic system 
that is ecologically extractive,
degenerative

Just as there could be no such thing as a healthy economic system 
that is not also a politically cooperative, 
more than competitive, 
systemic network of compassionate relationships 
and appreciative transactions.

It could not be news
that we do not get more 
and more
and more valued goodies
out of a relationship
when we invest less
and less
and less
within that relationship.

This is a relationship
that will surely end in divorce
heartbreak
animosity
painful loss
of sacred marriage

Between red-blooded anthropological resilience
and green-beloved ecological resonance.
