Masked Medical Missionaries
Not sure why
USA red
relentlessly white
and not so much blue WholeEarth patriots
have consistently
selflessly supported
medical missionaries
vaccinating against every unmasked
health threatening disease
erupting in tribal life
of darkest social systemic Africa
Yet fail to co-empathically embrace
basic
fundamental
win/win evangelically redemptive
bipartisan public health care
here in domestic
Straight White
USA Christian
flag-waving homes
Where live and breathe
our own at-risk children
And climate threatened grandchildren
And pandemonic RightWing denihilistic
degenerating public and private health prospects
for great grandchildren
Who might hope to survive
for more than another wealthy
humane-divine
nature-spirited century
Sacredly meaningful
unmasked
transparent
and multiculturally vulnerable
co-empathic
polypathic
EarthBound public and private
eco/theo-logical
Celebrating systemic
global inter/inner-connected
good-faith health consciousness.
