Refined White Values
While trickling thick amber honey
in my black decoffied coffee
I wonder why I never noticed
until just ever now
How refined white sugar
has monopolized my wider full-hued view
of more nurturing nutritional brown sugars
natural bio-resonant sweets
healthier sugar-phosphate cooperative relationships
as if the least of these white privileged
rich and resilient wealth potentials
were iconic of healthier multiculturing also-rans
Like holistically engrained rich brown bread
compared most nutritiously to light white
lordly loaves
Like resilient and brilliant carotene
natural carrot juice
and spiritually resonant
mellow melon melodic cucumber
white privilege unencumbered
polyphonic sweet salad.
So too,
as I pour in thickening oatmilk,
I wonder about primal values
commodifying capital-invested currency
as a pathetic
shadowy dietary substitution
replacing other healthier
wealthier humane value systems
favoring polycultural revolutions
Like energy currents of win/win compassion,
climaxing integrity
and overflowing resonant
harmonic
ionic complex co-investment
Like receiving co-infested green
cooperative
humane communion
while Earth worshiping integrity
of universally valued
regenerative
resilient roots
stemming back to an alpine fragrant MotherTree
inviting this renewing campground dawn.
So too,
while inhaling warm comfort,
I wonder about Straight
White
Patriarchal Papi's divisive
ChosenPeople monotheism
monopolizing my imaginative
emotional investment market
Overwhelming values for other biological
diversely ecological
synergetic geological
anthropological
multicultural Theisms
Like panentheistic felt unity,
without uniformly rigid
LeftBrain dominant
disempowering requirements
of hierarchical capital-headed exclusive
comprehension
And also like holistic
healing polytheisms,
without monoculturing ecopolitical
desecrating traumas
of rabidly viral
StraightWhiteMale values
win-or-lose devolving
debating
dissociative
Patriarchal-Capitalist
uniformly deductive
divinely predestined competitions,
Yet again,
Atheism, rooted in agnostic humility
without inhumane LeftBrain dominating hubris
of elitist reductive humanism
camouflaging AnthroTheistic Supremacy
Like making Straight WhiteSugar Daddy
God
in my own retributive judging
negatively refining
dualistically dark
shameful
degenerative repressing
unhealthy
unwise depressing
Images
Wanting to return
to nutritious
nurturing
integral
co-passionate
resonant health,
resilient wealth
multi-engraining richly resonant values
While trickling thick amber honey
in my golden oatmilk
health restorative
deep and richly valued
polyculturally addictive coffee.
