Memorial Wounds
Today we honor those who paid our price of violence
to protect us from each Other's mono-colonizing excesses,
we remember deep respect for those who have done their best
when this was too often not sufficient
to return to a resonantly healthy life together
in their own families,
prior spacious loves
now fenced
and ruined.
We recognize and would redeem
returns to less peace
found in Business As Usual
uncivil re-immersion.
We wonder
with our unowned feelings
and stranger-anxiety thoughts,
reverberating through second generations
of militarized domestic stress,
about seductively monopolistic economic
and reductively monotheistic
nationalistic political values
without CommonSense
win/win humane enterprise.
How and when holy patrimonial wars
and systemic RightWing terror
might politically re-erupt
and economically corrupt
this dark premonitional MemorialNight silence
of EarthMothers' green organic health Day
celebrating springtime wealthy forests,
panentheistic eco/neuro-systems
inter-re-ligioning
HolySpirit EarthNatural
indigenously wise preparations
for a robustly peaceful
and prosperous Fall harvest
With no sacred EarthMother need
to invoke GodTalk blessings
to honor those who pay OneFather's price of violence
to protect us from each Other's monopolistic
nationalistic
anthro-supremacist
straight white privileged preoccupations
fear and anger triggering
multi-generational
systemic militarized trauma
win/lose neurosystemic drama
of monotheistic GodTalk ideations.
