Rewarding Inclusion

I doubt it was a philosopher,
more likely an emperor,
but possibly both,
who first explored this sad relationship
between exclusion
and punishment,
colonialism
feeding repression.

I'll bet it was a Taoist mother
afraid bad weather would smother
all hope of restoring future peace
who first engaged our glad elationship
between inclusion
and cooperative reward,
creolization
feeding on multicultural
graceful impressions

This, our win/lose
zero-sum
retributive justice 
fading exclusion 
exclusive point

And yet also our win/win
nonzero-exponential
spiraling
revolving
restorative peace
gift economic
resilient ecological
counter-point

Balancing tipping points
toward cooperative polytheistic
and co-invested polycultural possibilities,
sacredly secular co-investments
for slow-growing resilient healthy seasons
and polyvagal
universal feelings
of neuro-sensory evolving
revolving safe fusion reasons.

Accidental exclusion
and intentional derision
of people with disabilities
win/lose dismay disempowered
corporate mind disqualification
evoking viral distrust
from anthrosupremacist LeftBrain
RightWing Othering dominance

Together, 
social neglect 
and monoculturally privileged 
StraightWhiteWesternMale corporate abuse
co-arise feelings of shame
self v other blame
punishing judgment
for being born
not LeftBrain verbal
RightWing dominant enough
to earn our keep
in a commodified work force
not enlightened win/win playful
resonant thoughts
nor empowering peace-full
resilient feelings

Industrially confined to slave
and prison
and asylum labor.

PreIndustrially restoring wisdom
includes priority for inclusive
and incisive win/win intended
healing EarthTribe 
nonviolent communication,

Sustained healthy and safe
nurturing relationships,
growing multicultural mediation skills
and ecopolitically rewarding 
inclusive co-empathic trust.

Retributive justice
negative energy
worships powers of 
overpowering royal affluence
while sacred restorying
of democratically inclusive peace
engages effluent co-powers
positive synergy

Of LeftBrain
RightHeart conserving
enlightened health
through resilient multicultural

AND

For RightBrain
LeftHand liberating
feelings of safe empowering wealth
through resonant polycultural
polytheistic vacations

Fading monotheistic
depressing
repressing
oppressive
claustrophobic monopolies,
including straight white 
RightWing red overheated privilege
to speak over
and out-yell
green-blue indigenous EarthTribe
slow-grown resilient co-intelligence

Universal warm disregard
of pompous kings
and pretentious philosophers
disabled by LeftBrain
RightWing greedy 
punishing privilege

Exclusively disabling

polyculturally resilient
tipping point balance

Rewarding inclusive RightBrain
gift cooperative economies 
empowering peace feelings
restoring LeftBrain re-memories

Enlightened thoughts for global 
resonantly inclusive justice
co-passioning felt local
through global
rewarding serenity,
sentient peace.
