Said BlueWater To RedFire

Angry words have fear-mongering consequences,
said rhetorical behaviorist Hillary,
then Kamala, to Donald,
we would no more peacefully 
and compassionately select a Donald Trump as President
than we would bipartisan co-invest to win Donald Duck for Empire Builder.

Words mean things,
said linguistic behaviorist Anat
to her fellow Economist Collective,
and the absence of kind words means something too.
We're not sure what
but I place my bet
on more discommunicating eco-political
ego-apartisanship.

FatherSun enlightenment led toward EarthMother liquidity.
We know this from our indigenous history 
of Yang/Yin Win/Win
environmental science books
but this is difficult to see
how exactly this could be
without sufficient silence to recall
what dipolar co-arising energies lie in wait
within this shared bilateral brilliance.

Fire and water,
progenitors of stardust 
eco-empowering,
sacred ecologizing 
fertile organic planets
birthing health moisturized wealthy regenerations.

To paraphrase bodhisattva Joanna Macy,
Co-invested communing economics 
is not more wishful monopolistic thinking
(or messianic ideation).

Active political gathering verbs
enlightening sacred habitats 
do not wait for renowned 
divisive 
drowned-out 
dis-organic trauma issues
to be reverently resurrected 
and religiously re-membered
by monoculturing Donald Ducks
or by some Anti-Other quacking
self-serving colonization
of patriarchal monotheistic
discommunicating misbehavior.

Active Hope wakes up in love-life's ecological 
EarthMother baptismal beauty
wonder
fertile light and flowing power sabbath
on who's silently communing behalf
we can act in sacred light
for animated 
organic 
polyamorous co-empowerment. 

To the responsible Hillaries, and Kamalas: 
Follow positively cooperative light,
not so much darkly threatening
reactively monolithic 
swampy miscommunication.

To the authoritarian Donalds:
Follow your competitively brilliant 
SunFather responsive truth 
with EarthMother beauty 
loves polyculturing liquidity,
not so much your prized 
monopolistic 
and monotheistic
anthro-patriarchal 
discommunicating fear and anger 
military-industrialized pathologies.
