Planted and Harvested
If it is true
that only one fundamental,
all or nothing,
choice in evolutionary life is offered--
To eat
or become someone else's dinner
Then, are you choosing to remain
the Exclusive Eater,
Selfish Harvester,
or the Weakest Plant
not yet sacrificially eaten?
What if both could be true
for you?
Cooperatively planting
what we will inevitably harvest together
To gather only what we planted:
One both/and still connected nutrition system
depolarizing re-creative nuanced truths
across multigenerations
Offering an abundance of multiculturing
creolizing win/win options
transcending traditional boundaries
of cause or effect
causing effective possible options
to cooperatively reconsider
divinely fundamental
from-above reductive choices
not so regenerately
multi-nutritionally offered--
sacred communication proffered
InBetween plants
reproducing healthy empowering Yang seeds
and breeds
and feeding Pleasure
And harvesting
consuming
with enlightening yintegrity of bountiful love
and synergetic interfaith
nurture communicating experiences
Positive hope-investing in win/win
co-empathic energy
recreating plant through harvest
recycling Paradise
of polyculturally healthy options
None of which
include the reductionist
nihilistic view
of the Exclusive Eater
or the Only Good For Eating.
