Random Acts of Grace

I wonder if our reasons for growing random acts of violence are similar to our dwindling random acts of reasoned healing, kindness, gratitude, unrequited love, uncommodified, unconscripted, unscripted, uncontained restoring cooperative ecopolitical relationships forward not just because this is our right and healthy familial thing to do but because we multiculturally know and extend, believe and intend actively faith these are our greatest most noble most therapeutic gifts of hope given before punishments for random acts of violence could even have become conspired. It has been speculated by military-industrial hypnotized media seeking short-term sensational profits, and by cynical economic and political prophetic voices, We have become numb to millions of homeless children, many of whom are now being burnished, refurnished and retooled as LoseLose suicidal nihilistic soldiers, pawns for burning with emotional hate without ever having known love's potential maturity. Permanently stuck on pre-adolescent survival of the All MonoCulturing Male Unit erasing hard-fought memories of compassion for growing up among millions of homeless children of all multiculturing genders and nearly all species with possible exceptions for scavengers, like cockroaches and river rats and millions of starving children drowning melting fired-up fuel fading from view of homeless futures requiring further punishment for bothering to persistently survive on air waves and water and plants bought and sold and too-patriarchally owned by other, supposedly adult, mature people, presumed to only know how to play I Win so You Lose competing evolutionary MightMakes GodRight games. I wonder if our reasons for random acts of restorative justice to achieve healthy WinWin outcome reminders. Our troubling predators with our disturbing prey could become permaculturally relearning opportunities revolutionarily expanding mentors among these already starving homeless children and non-consenting adults, sibling and tribal groups health care giving and receiving as best we can, not having seen or heard or felt bilateral co-operative WinWin opportunities for renewing climates of health since successfully departing our long dead EarthMothers' wombs. When punishing weapons for addiction to violent choices are accessible to those who believe they, and we, can holistically afford them, can afford to compromise investments with integrity, our rights of WinWin ownership requited, then those raised more through retribution's fear and anger than restoration's love and healthy synergy will always flood our gun shops first and ballistic associations last through clouding media's ecopolitical marketing of death and terror over cooperatively-owned matriarchal-patriarchal balancing life as yin with yang restorations, preyors of benign predation loving bilateral revolutionary relationships, mutual creolizations within all ecotherapeutic EarthTribes for social arts and communication, and scientific enculturation, deep learning cooperative restoration of mutual education. Deep learning among homeless childhood memories longing for healing lost compassions. Violence corrupts this void left through grace's wrongful absence.
