Porky Problems

A porky problem
worth resolving

Is our scientifically hoggish evolutionary
survivalist assumption
that all Creatures that Matter
would highest and best 
usefully support AnthroPrivileged 
rabidly expanding WealthCare 
EcoPolitical Systems

Monopolizing EarthMother's breastmilk
and extracting fertile fuel
from her commercialized
and marginalized,
raped
and enslaved ****.

Pigs in a mud-warmed pond
experience a health care system
without monotheistic meaning
and not intending
or pretending 
any monopoly rights to embodied pleasure,
much less spiritualized Paradise

As deeply as we can communicate
only AnthroGods and their Goddess Concubines
believe in our immortal EarthRights
to entitled lives that exclusively matter
for EarthMother's healthiest wealth
resilient solidarity
and resonant synergy.

Swine, by compassionate comparison,
gladly show us
more resilient thrival instincts
than avoiding the Killing Butcher
by feeding and pushing our piglets
toward a capital-fueled Trauma Machine

As any pig would know,
survival of the fattest
is not necessarily as enlightened
or empowering
as we might
whole herd EarthTribe
together sacred grow

In cooperative mindfulness,
EarthTribal integrity,
solid
resilient synergy,
with the copassionate mindfulness
of a mystified 
post-partum sow.
