Restoring Earthhealth

"America's health care system
is neither healthy,
caring,
nor a system."
Walter Cronkite

An organic system,
an interdependent co-governing web
of relationships between communicating subsystems,

To be resilient,
to remain robust,
must be win/win cooperative rooted
and not so much capitalist,
headstrong win/lose dominant intended.

Win/lose plutocratic,
kleptocracy,
and capitalist monocultural intent,
straight white patriarchal divine design,
extractive environmental plunder,
all logically conclude
with degenerative WholeSystem lose/lose
entropy;
the opposite of win/win healthy caring regenerativity.

So too,
a complex, 
deeply interconnected justice system,
to grow multiculturally robust
multigenerational justice
and WholeEarth systemic peace,
must become win/win designed
to restoratively mediate 
healthy perpetrator/victim relationships

And not leading with judicial retribution,
with win/lose punishing past injustice
committed to revengeful disinvestments,
excommunications,
extractions from extended wounded communities
to be held in a physical/financial kennel 
for hopelessly rabid dogs,
rats, 
feral cats,
vampire bats.

So too,
a complex,
deeply interconnected health care system,
to be healthy
and co-empathically caring,
and remain a thriving resilient system
accessible to future EarthTribe regenerations,

Must be cooperatively owned
and self/other co-responsibly governed
with win/win multicultural
multigenerational gift economy
merciful intent

Not so much win/lose surgically competitive
medical technologies
available only to the highest bidder
in a competitive international market
for monetized
commodified 
win/lose disorganized 
insurance corporate profit players.

So too,
a complex,
deeply interconnected communication system,
to engage empowering, mutually enlightening, communion
of leftbrain thoughts with rightbrain feelings,
win/win co-passionately co-invested
rather than win/lose aggressive bipolar competitions,

With debates replacing civil discourse
and civic-minded/felt multicultural discernment
re-engaging multigenerational stuckness
in past competitive anthro-supremacist ideations
disassociated from ecosystemic WholeEarth origins
feeding evermore win/lose egocentric anxiety
about survival of the fittest overpowering communicators

When we could choose to communicate thrival
of the healthiest caring fit-iningest
just and peaceful
win/win resilient systems

With polycultural outcomes
without monocultural intent,

With polytheistic multicultural ecofeminist faith
without monotheistic straight white patriarchal fear,

With ecopolitical win/win cooperative ownership
without monopolistic win/lose competitive corporate rulership,

With ecosystemic win/win health caring communication systems
without egocentric win/lose wealth competing apartheid cut-off stems

Degenerating WholeEarth climates
disempowering cultures
replete with characters unenlightened
by eco-political absence

Of co-empathic conversational experience,
cooperative conversions,
GoldenRule health systemic 
Whole GreenEarth consensus.
