Hear unsilenced hope here,
Nothing is not lost.
Hopelessness the enemy
of justice
round some other's bend.
Music resounds appositions
against fear.
Anthems rise solidarity
within Earth's righteous anger.
Praise conserves liberal motion.
Emotion co-arises dipolar passions.
Climate pathology may not become
the responsibility of white privilege.
Yet, healthy climates may heal
both our oppression of Earth's sacred integrity
and our white privileged victimizations.
Wealthy multicultural opportunities
re-present risks for and of further monoculturing fragmentation
apartheid
disassociations
conserving silos
of hopelessly unfree silence.
This is our liberal conserving health,
Earth wealth
cooperatively inclusive,
interdependently webbed
agenda.
We know we are conservatively listening win/win leaders
when liberally correct issues
are also Earth-centered conservational anthems
singing courageous praise
against the fake win/lose face
of either totalitarian power
or universal fear.
Active hope
is the ally
of Earth's great restoring justice
for all,
they and we
eco and ego
yin and yang
universal health and unitarian wealth.
If all faith speaks with liberal political correctness,
so too
all hope erupts from silent win/win conserving power
noticing risks of disempowering silence
missing opportunities for re-empowering healthy natural wealth
between all souls
among all soils
all fearful angry lynching
all courageous songs unflinching.
Music heals through wind and water carried
keening
secular mundane hate
become sacred epic texts
re-formed ego-wind with eco-water lyrics
singing unsilenced sorrow.
Hear hope here.
Nothing is not lost
through complacent silence.
