Redemptive Economics
Economies of cooperative redemption,
like taking turns licking
melting ice cream cones,
favorably contrast to
stingier economies of personal private
sticky and prickly ownership
Including feeling entitled to purchase
whatever and whomever
I can afford to buy or rent
in cash up front
or through a commercial commodifying
installment plan product
with interest paid out
to a not personally invested corporate banker
So often straight white He
with legal right to demand full repayment
on my unfortunate overextended
ego-imbalance.
Economies of competitive secular development,
rather than sacred cooperative resonance,
sadly and madly contrast,
compete against,
empowering richer economies
of compassionate and resilient stewardship
not entitled to purchase sacred Earth
Nor to shop for bargain basement lands
and seas
and mindbody laborers
unpaid for cooperative working foundations
win/win playing
and designing co-creators
copassionately co-invested
in sacred polycultural joy relationships
in
and on
and now sadly under
our over-rated capital-infested futures
Gladly co-investing over
around
through
green ecologies of win/win wealth
Co-redemptive
permaculturally healthy
and robust enlightened financial systems
producing politically empowering
passionately resilient
enlightened mind
and empowering body
EarthTribe cooperative outcomes.
