Rudyard Remix
If you can keep your health when all about
Are losing theirs as ours
and blaming separately sick on you,
If you can trust ourselves when all species doubt
And reintegrate healthy green doubting too;
If you can act and not be red and tired
from over acting
And being lied about, don't invest in retaliatory fake,
And becoming hated,
give active way to loving,
And yet don't smell too wealthy,
nor walk too SuperElite wise...
If you can walk with crowds to feed our therapeutic virtues,
And speak with polypathic Gods--nor win the losing touch,
If both foes and family can desert you,
If all Tribes count with you
and yet not ego-monoculturally much;
If you can refill each uninvested moment
with sixty second's wealth of health well run,
Yours is Earth
and every Tribe healed in Her,
And--eco-theo-logically more--
we'll be a Therapeutic AnimaSoul,
ZeroZone for healing WinLose
patriarchal
LeftBrain over-heated
over-crowded inmates!
