Prayer To EarthPowered Gratitude

Forgive me for sleeping while you weep, for breathing while you wilt, for beating strong and true free without you in an unforgiving sea. Challenge ungrateful Universal Us to never swim or fly without unitarian we, to dream in Win to Win rich passioned blues for love's lusty heroic truths. Redeem me from thriving on backs aching with loss, disharmonic dross, children drifting out to sea, sons and daughters with no sure home save hunger to live free. Gratify me for Earth's up-front deposit in a rich-nurtured wombing sea Each evolving choice specific to how I might be a fairly well-fed lottery ship avoiding large storms of violence, ballistic anger and fear, trauma seasoned with sorrow for not anticipating tomorrow Without reasonable hope of better than today, our last wealth over-borrowed A chronic path of overpopulated lack of news that black and brown bleeding red unhealthy victims, both oppressed and our oppressors do not healthy and graced matter Stealthy violent splattered understory of how we eat our young before they can learn to fly gratitude together in deep seasoned ecology. Know me, EarthTribe's genetic parasite afraid of my own absorption within wild regenetic jungle time of loss and traumatic decay While I deafly sleep to the beat of a defenseless child born too soon for time's welcoming embrace, born without a culturally significant face that matters to our dull history's ingratitude No matter negative attitude if some grow fatter while flowers wilt and next year's seeds cease speaking to our barren trees. Free me, from our relentless injustice, for replacing lack of empathy with decadent antipathy for We, for us, together on Earth's sea Winded and smothered and smoldered addictively, burning out warrior children's hearts wrecklessly born of infant empathic love within EarthTribe We Rebirthing through full-passionate integrity recovering EgoMe gratuity Free from retiring in a slow ego-death silo of unmindful mediocrity free to unknow Earth's beloved incubator nest dream-webbing life as restful space to be Letting go of ungrateful life alone at sea With still sufficient time to disinvest from fear of death inside EarthTribal We Eternally reconnecting EgoMe to echo Earth's harmonic health frequency To dance empowered WeSelf songs of enlightened cosmic free engaging full live compassion to feel each inside pleasure glee Gratifying patriotically unstratifying EarthTribe matriotic We. Forgive me for sleeping while you weep, for breathing while you wilt, for beating strong and true, fleeing without you in a stark dark ungrateful sea.
