Polarizing Positions

It might be time
of the season
to recall
bipartisan reason

To remember
that we against you
and you against we
does not grow
a balance of powerful democracy

But, instead of balanced empowerment,
mutual cooperation,

Firing up eco-political double-binding
promises to relentlessly hate
what I resonantly like
and like
what I ambitiously hate,
offers only competitive
unbalanced runaway disempowerment.

Evolution of power,
regenerative,
requires dipolar both/and
healthy democracy Trust
where devolution of powers,
degenerative,
fade either/or polarizing away
from empowering resilient democracy.

Polarizing positions
are neither healthy
or wealthy
nurturing dispositions.

So true, Gerald, but once it permeates throughout the government, polarization is very hard to undo.
