Reasoned News, Headlined Bruise

It is no longer headline news,

If anything scientific happens
it happens for a rational reason

If anything violent doesn't happen,
does it not happen
for an irrational unreasoned
compassionate nonresponse?

It is no longer byline news,
toxic anthro-aggressive at-most-spheres,
dark forbidding climes,
cold winter
evil viral feelings,
relentlessly depressing 
grey-clouded
chaotic 
irrational 
random thoughts

Complicate competing patriarchal 
privileged supremacy 
win/lose systemic media events,
stories monotheistically vengeful
OldTestament fundamentalist

Either my religious way
or you get to play
work
suffer the Prodigal Son/Daughter
loser highway

Monoculturing news
neglecting to mention white anthro-privileged 
Caste cast with strictly partisan 
polarizing eco-political rightwing supremacy concerns

And fascinations with capitalism happens
when compassionate democratic health
unrealistically
irrationally doesn't happen
while relentlessly furthering
white dogmatically "patriotic"
straight male dominance

Is not exactly headline news
but more the RightWing monocultural
Thing To Reactively Do
to find HolyBible scripture
to fundamentally cut
and evangelically paste
for ego-salvaging
narcissistic denial of democratic rationality
divine support

Furthering each individual ego-identity's
selfie bootstrap LeftCognitive
culturally superior to RightEmotive
win/lose religiously partisan 
straight white capitalism
overwhelming win/win 
systemic multicultural 
democratically cooperative 
co-arising compassion.
