Seeking Salvation
Prayers,
sometimes lightly lyrical,
slyly satirical,
self-conscious,
ego-
and anthro-chosen folk
transcendently
yet personally
individually woke,
and sometimes full embodied
passions in Praise Him!
shout out
Echo in-
voking round resonance
with all Earth's eternal
regenerating lively
lovely resilience.
Prayers
express "I feel"
so provoke "I want,
even actively need"
Trust Statements
Or,
prayers are LeftBrain dominant
performances
of True v False
Health v Pathology
internal v external
enlightening transcendent thoughts
v empowering emotional support,
Reason v Passion Stories.
"Lordy, Lordy
I sure do hope
for active good Sunday dope
that Donald Trump
will someday,
although probably not this day,
enjoy a long
and healthy
and unusually quiet,
cruelly serene,
claustrophobically private retirement
into suffering
and mental anguish
over all his many sociopathological
sins against natural
and spiritual,
physical
and mental,
embodied and mindful health care
giving
by receiving
copassionate
co-invested communion."
In this prayer,
what does grandmother Eartha feel?
Lack of sufficient hope
for robust and healthy redemption,
maybe sadness about humanity's great fall
into partisan disunion,
probably chronic climate anxiety,
in which She betrays
and is betrayed by
fear of RightWing
angry AnthroSupremacy.
Meditations
on red sky climate warnings
nonverbally remind MeSheWe
together upvote nonviolent polypaths
leading to polyphonic
lyrical and PraiseHim!
for what we all,
with thriving rich resilient souls,
wish for
An unusually quiet,
serene,
private retiring redemption
From Old Testament
PatriCapitalist
Nothern White epic histories
of monotheistic colonization
We nearly all AnthroSupremely invoke
deep EarthTribal fears
of our own BusinessAsUsual corporate
globally ecosystemic
nationalistic
white cracker violent
chauvinistic
discommunications
And we are all dearly angry
about lack of sufficiently empowering
retirement funds
and enlightening
co-redemptive facts
of a sacred salvation economy,
Spiraling polynomially spacious circles
of polyphonic therapeutic prayers intoned
entombed beyond eternal silence
peacefully polypathic
Revoking oppressive
"I feel lyrical
satirical" preferences
for I need more than mere divine performances
to embrace our MeWe
deep Nature/Spirit flow
ing widely polypathic
"Praise Him/Her,
We Yang/Yintegral Two!"
Wu-wei extending conscious
polyculturing healthy conscience
continuing compassion's
discontinuous
EarthPeace Prayer.
