Nonplatitude Attitude
They say I need too much
to keep a positive
young-yang attitude,
More
and deeper soul,
higher sacred grace
of gifted gratitude.
So do I often feel,
except privileged they feel too little
to let go
of supremely negative yin karma,
bad win/lose memories
with empty secular calculations
of capital investment values
for dark-earned platitudes,
bottom-line capitalist
colonialist
conquering
informed bad-news sells assumptions,
autocratic nihilations
and kleptocratic political
disempowering narcissistic presumptions.
My internal social-psychologist
might observe:
Those StraightWhiteMale privileged
hate me
because I am fat
or gay
or brown
or green
or grey
While my external eco-political analyst
retorts:
I am merely fat
and grey
and green
and gay
because patriarchal
capitalist
anthropocentric supremacists
have always hated
multiculturally co-empathic,
re-empowering intentioned,
co-enlightening experienced,
me
We say
our mediated verbal
and unmediated nonverbal messages
are curious
and lusty,
and sometimes too monoculturally
untransformed musty,
about dark red mysterious negatives
And these same negative narratives
sell papers
and health and safety products
and people
and planetary organic peace resources
and international technology war discourses
As entertaining freak commodities,
foreign and fresh
blood and flesh,
alien hearts
and minds
and deviantly dark sexual bodies
for sale
and/or rent
by the consumer minute,
and/or predative hour,
and/or public unfree eight-hour market day,
and/or satiated 24-hour day and night,
profit exhausted calculating week,
monthly cash acquisition trends,
yearly fiscal survivalist reports
with lifetime planned expiration,
with
and without
remaining depreciated redemption,
and potential return investment, values,
misvalues
devalues
disvalues
revaluations
Depending on calculated balance/imbalance
of positive/negative karma evaluation trends,
Relationships of attachment/detachment
investment/divestment memories
They say
I want too much unmediated compassion,
noticed public and private health co-passions,
commercially accessible gospel messages,
good redemptive
democratic empowerment news,
enlightened cooperative values
To not support our negative over-sold Yang attitude,
secular monoculturing space
StraightWhiteMale diseducated
and yet still verbally privileged
for ungifted
apartheid platitudes
So we also may yet quietly hear
we need too much *****
to keep a positive yang attitude
More yinternal
and deeper souled,
regeneratively steeped
in richer values
for deep healthy sacred grace
Now time and Here space
of Earth-gifted
un-ownable
unmediated
goodnews experiential gratitude.
