Powers of Enlightenment

I've noticed our Republic's RightWing Tree of Life reacts to root-systemic problems as if oak strong branches lifted to majestic worshiping heights of crowning supremacy need not be concerned with watering and feeding democratic roots of nutrition nursing organic trust and nurturing empowerment. Such behavior feels less intelligent than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth More like a gang of Bully Putin Pulpits and capital addicted Trumpian Puppets with upset expansive stomachs, boundlessly hungry eyes and private parts, and irritatingly irreligious deaf ears Trying to feed from entitled top, trickling down to lowly leftover humiliated bottoms, what we must primally breed and seed from deep down communing inside Roots musing down and communicating in to feed organic communion up and sacred community out Conserving healthy democratic root systems resonantly nurturing resiliently liberating crowns both/and win/win organic/sacred root/crown empowering/enlightening communion. Not quite so angry with enfeebled branched-out leaders and not mad with anemically sad cooperation and bad co-investment skills for resolving which top bully, devouring all challenger bullies, will next be crowned King of trauma-riddled Republican triumph Trumped-up singing: It's my party and you'll cry when I want you to. Meanwhile democratic grassroot systemic wisdom burns and blows drowns and starves Degenerating patriarchal migraines and not regenerating grains of deep rooted integrity to feel multicultural health trust truth beauty wisdom compassion kindness courageous polycultural curiosity about interweaving wisdom of inter-religious root systems. Liberating resonant crowns and conserving resilient roots, bipartisan integrity of a wealthy healthy EarthMothered Tree. Or so it seems to me noticing our disunited Republic's troubled Tree of CrownHeavy Life reacting against healthy multicultural democracy Deaf to wilderness voices of dying forests polar caps coral reefs oceans glaciers rivers topsoil EarthMother's unenlightened crown of thorns and disempowering trunk of sorrows, man-privileged monotheistic irreligiously and monoculturally wrong ecocidally desecrating root-systemic trauma.
