Parsing Partisanship
Gay Rights are not Civil Rights
grabs my Yahoo facetime
fast-paced news rhyme
Civil Rights are not just Gay Rights
on my administrative time
bounces back a Left WhiteHouse reprise
that Civil Rights
include Gay Rights
as a necessary subset,
but not multiculturally sufficient resonance
to cooperative network define
a green rainbow co-passionate refinement
Sacredly inspired divine,
panentheistic sign supported,
indigenously wise light
green party bright
spirited natural civil rights
Are not
uncivil capitalist wrongs
conspiring straight AngloCorporate Rights
which are not particularly humane Civil Rights
Grab my bilateral
dipolar-coarising attention
consciousness
awareness
green woke upness
ecofeminist positive
also means liberally healthy
and environmentally safe
conservational awakeness
"Gay Rights"
by your definition
on my Right,
Are those also "Liberating Rights"?
for those unfemale attracted
And/or "Lesbian Civil Rights"?
for those unmale
and unstraight
What about "Transgender Rights"?
if you are a tadpole
or a flower,
Would that be OK for you?
What about "**** Intercourse Rights?"
for mammals?
Then there's the ever popular
"Abortion Rights"
for trees
dropping her nutty egg seeds
before their ripe time
in poor grimes of drought
and angry fire
and sensual deprivation;
lack of environmental
health and safety support.
Could "Civil Rights"
include "Bisexual Rights"?
Would these be "Up-To-Half-Homosexual Heterosexual Rights"?
Or, more simply,
less schizophrenically
less blatantly half secular/half sacred
less curiously half wiki-spiritual/half natural
Not quite so mentally unhealthy
bipolar RightWing dominant
parsing
and non-parsing
rumination
ruination
of what might have been
bicameral "Healthy Democracy Rights"
Which are not UnCivil Rights
of AnthroSupremacists
to commit ecocide
or even marginally lesser sins
of genocide
While LeftWing
RightBrain repressives
wonder why their RightWing God's
LeftBrain dominant monotheistic
monoculturalism
defines conservatism only negatively,
uncreatively,
degeneratively,
dissociatively,
dissonantly,
defensively
As economically
and politically needed
to reassure us
LeftBrain
Straight AngloCorporate worldviews
on restoring EarthRights to Basic Climate Thrival
really must lack Win/Win green
emotive
contextual civil rights intelligence
of the average
woke up synergetic ecofeminist
Regardless of species
doing our basic sensing
and complex feeling
personal
and global
and tribal
and familial
and multigenerational
and matriarchal
and polycultural
and panentheistic
and systemically integral
sacred health care
organic civil rights homework
Which is what I was supposed to be doing
when
Gay Rights are not Civil Rights
grabs my Yahoo facetime
fast-paced news rhyme
and it's not yet dawning
Sabbath spacetime.
Sunday morning nap time
is not uncivil screen time
for writing not really news rhymes.
