Power's Price

"The price of power is responsibility."
          Winston Churchill

This is a powerful voice
AltRight confrontational ears
have not yet clearly heard.

The price confronting global secular and sacred powers,
whether white or black
or everything in-between,
whether ego-patriarchal or ecofeminist,
whether LeftBrain dominant
or RightBrain prominent
or somewhere polypathic in-between,
is EarthCentric ecological responsibility.

Perhaps if AltGreen global parties
were to celebrate the gospel of communioned sanctuary
reforesting responsibilities
and caring for surfing health-seasoned oceans,
and custody of tidal saltwater rivers for wombing history
and transubstantiating DNA's sacred seasoned regenerations,

Then perhaps democratic green-trusting ballot boxes
could become sanctuaries
from SecondAmendment automated killing excesses,
and patriarchal ownership of indentured sex-workers,
and imprisoned slaves consuming cash,
and neglected, cooperatively uneducated children
and the power of autonomy owned and angry red carried
without regard or compassion
for equivalent green responsibility.

The price of truly democratic human therapeutic power
is cooperatively-held responsibility
to restore ego/eco-therapeutic justice,
green ultra-violet
polyphonic peace on Earth,
with all Mother HomeLand Tribes.
