Party Games

What are the odds that either Democratic or Republican leaders will ever again remember how to host a health and wellness party? Imagine these invitations we receive: Dear Ms. Democrat, Dear Mr. Republican, Please come to our Leadership Party, to primarily listen as we rant and rave about why we defensively avoid singing and dancing with any of those Other immoral and probably illegal masquerade parties And how to avoid asking weak and stupid compassion questions, hypnotized by lust for crappy binge-party mistrust replaying blindman's monopolistic bluff Fear mongering anger aggravating disempowering games not appropriate for children or mature adult wellness sung and healthy dancing peace-pipe parties. Sitting down, or even staggered standing, to fired-up hear the Furor unfreely speak His eco-womanist hate is not my idea of recreation or creative expression or engaging entertainment much less an improvement over nonviolently communicating Charades and compassionately pleasuring flash-mob Masquerades All parties re-presented wherein at least I might choose to listen through all our less than excellent karaoke resolutions: not this feeling not that appealing not now repeating not later revealing not judgy disclaiming why it is not OK to party more healthy enlightenment songs and wealthy empowering dances at passion and pleasure polyculturing parties. Perhaps we could skip depressing alcoholic punches, try some organic THC religiously discipling less paranoid sing unto win/win nonOtherers and don't dance against Others' multiculturing golden rainbow shower party rules About what to freely and responsibly say and not to unfreely and irresponsibly do while playing political and economic Earth-logical sanctuary charades Launching both-and biparty unwar-ships where either-or irreligious anthro-worship leaders had been the only real dance stage we must win so they must lose 0-sum strategic advantage for monopoly winning far less than golden anniversary resilient expand-theistic party outcomes. I’m deep-bone tired of competitive repetitive Musical Chairs and Pin the Tail of ugly irresponsibility on the Other party’s butt of unpleasantly dispassionate unparty deaf and dumb AnthroMind v EarthBody passion v pleasure apartheid unparty disassociation. Decent political parties don’t play Spin the Porky Kill-The-Planet Bottle all night behind smoke-filled self-engorging coven convention craven doors. I would rather stay home and continue losing Solitaire, but thanks so much for not thinking of me or my chronically anxious family when you are designing your hate-binge alcohol-fuming non-party Rearranging your Masquerade Party furnishings pretending to pay ecofeminists back for your Manifestive monotheistic mortgage while sending our kids to anthro-supremacist private party schools teaching all those unhealthy real estate Business As ClosedParty Gates Usual Monopoly war-party answers to peace co-passionate questions no apartisan party is curiously asking. No thanks for crappy initiation party favors and invitations to crashdump that Other Party rather than enjoy a more cooperative civil right to party hearty healthy happy swimming together in one EarthHealing pool not flying apart with everyone throwing darts at Othered uninvited guests and demonic hosts whacking at sacred Earth like an overstuffed piñata. What are the constitutional odds and moral ends that either Democratic or Republican good-faith wellness-humored disciples will ever again curiously re-member how to re-ligiously win/win host a Green EarthMother empowering FatherSun enlightened bipartisan PeacePipe Party?
