Relearning Manifest Destiny
What did you learn to play
in school today?
Hedging future winning bets
against lost devolving yesterday
I learned religious history
of manifest colonizing destiny,
Responsibility to over-rule healthy integrity,
Authority to addictively enslave
our lesser prey,
womanfest cooperative destiny,
without duplicity.
How is such sad destiny most powerfully manifest?
Destiny unfolds boldly
in each Here with Now committed BodyMind moment,
Yang with Yin
Out with In
Integrity's love-power sacrament of internal diversity.
How does spatial/temporal dipolar grace manifest
in one-way strings
of historic memory?
How does secular-sacred co-presence
move from intensely present
to predict future light's preferred density?
Personal manifesting hearts
disconnected from EarthSoul's sacred Presence,
learn to win more today
by segregating yesterday's inevitable matriarchal losses.
We bicamerally learn to contrast and compare
today's summation of all Earth's imagined tomorrows,
regenerative and degenerative,
with and against integrity potentiating love,
secular LeftBody dominant as EitherPhysical/OrMental oppositional
Yet sacred RightMind prominent as Both/And appositional
multicultural,
resonant,
polyphonic,
harmonic,
holonic nature-spirit of polypathic EarthSoul
How could manifest sacred destiny of a Species,
or a NationState,
or a Religion,
or even an individual NatureBody-MindSpirit,
a Lover of in-between integrity Our Selves
ever justify aggressive colonization politics?
Over and against creolizing
transubstantiating economic opportunities
How could manifest destiny
and womanfest opportunity
become sick-fed addiction to competitive hoarding
Win to not Lose non-elite values
of patriarchal un-ecological
disconnected economics?
Or merely punishing injustice?
While potential destinies of long-term rewarding Win Self
to Win Other healing justice
wait in not-quite-unveiled destiny
inviting sustained slow-grown cooperative restoration
of right nature-spirit mutual love relationship
restored
re-baptized in wombs of warm wet saltwater.
Do nature's womanfest destinies
normally predict creolizing (blending, cooperative)
multicultural healthy healing passions?
Or violent revolutionary colonization
monoculturally overpowering
stealing from co-passionate opportunities
of democratic mutual trust history,
both bilateral
and more complexly multilateral
Transubstantiating spiritual internal Win/Win infestations,
integrating mindbody rhetorical events
inside outside viral EarthSoul
still hoping for one long last unparalleled dance
Inside today's EcoSchool witness
Students allied to proper domestic/wild space
developing local loyal listening RightMind hearts
and emerging global on-line ecovillaged
ego/eco-learning safe co-habiting places
for polycultural EarthSoul Consciousness
Outside SchoolTime's unimaged health destiny
womanifestly poured out Here with Now
amusing music muse,
timelessly patient light co-present Presence
Listening to what remains harvested
as still small sacred nutritional questions
of and for epic-seeding Integrity
Yang mountains
refining Yin-between Valleys,
appositionally dipolar views
bilaterally 2020.
