Permitting Omitted Commissions

In all things, give thanks.

Surrounded,
overwhelmed by disassociating depression,
learn gratitude.

Gratitude, a sacred noun,
positive attitude, a secular verb phrase.

Depression and gratitude,
depressed impress.
Impossibly essential
potential.

Suppression and hope.
Hope in and through 
blind and deaf as faith,
senseless passion dispowering position
over doubling down negative consequences
co-arising dissonant experience
with resonant resolutions.

Repressing naked clarity,
dualdark yet light-squared
and cubed
in fractal dialects
of holy, trauma,
sacred enslavement,
immortal despair.

Desecrated Earth
by commodified inhumanity,
capitalized corporate stricture,
giving thanks
for dawn's promised dusk.

Within,
above,
below all,
giving thanks without receiving praise,
re-acclimating gratitude,
humbling attitude.

Great commissions,
emissions,
omissions;
elevating attitudes
descending through our past.
Elevators rise to fall to rise
within great and small 
freedoms of commission.

Paradise fulfills embryonic passion
as pleasure grows roots in healthcare faith
emerging from fragile hope,
contagious absence of distrust's despair.

Desperation limns failed aspirations
lacking pathological denial,
returning Earth's holistic trust
with humanity's mistrust,
light squared lust
disturbing dualistic darkness.

Energy's massive capital,
our degenerating god
of depressing idolatry.

Craven subsidies
defy investments in future health
of divestments from past pathologies.

Information capitalizes derivatives of energy,
as exformation departs from pregnant entropy.

Great commissions 
of gratifying robust relationships
grow from small omissions 
of history's dissonant mistrust.

In all trusted passions
and distrusted pains, 
give thanks.
