The Gardener and the Gunshop Owner

Degenerative issues for the gunshop owner
are also regenerative opportunities from the gardener.

Lack of civil civics lessons slacked 
for small persons made of evil
is also opportunity to learn love's live,
is evil respelled backward.

Please stand as you are able 
to sing along in your best country western anthemed voice 
for more love songs and less unchallenged microphones 
feeding fears and angers that some people, 
quite country simply, 
just perversely choose to become psychopaths 
and violently mentally ill, 
and thereby wicked evil.

I heard him on the radio
the gun shop owner said
You can't undo this evil.
Some folks will always think
you and yours would be better off dead.

I heard the gardener
when she said
It must be different where you're from.
We are taught to feed to deeply live
and stop watering the weeds.

If your kid were at a concert
which would you rather hear?
The gun shop owner's hopeless evil
so feed us more ballistics faster
or the gardener's hope to live
through composting root systems
to dig in richer,
warmer schools and families,
nations and estates,
corporations and incarnations
with better healthing vital ballast?

What might we do yet together
if those first two years of school
our teachers taught Make Love Not War
just like the Golden Rule?

I wonder if we'd still require
two years defacing
and refacing
and effacing anger management 
through better ballistic bureau owners
recruiting basic training for military violence industrialization
if we simply fed more let love live
to younger generations
so less water for those growling evil weeds.

You can't talk with a mike to a man
with a shotgun business in both hands
but you can sing and dance 
with a WinWin boy
before he's been watered to want
to fire a gun,
just for self-bruising kicks.

Now our minds might be as one
love for sacred Mother Earth
with our Golden Ruling Sun's
who don't make no evil bankrupt children.

Somebody,
please,
turn the gunshop owners microphone off.
Turn off the electricity,
and their/our flooding waters 
of overwhelming volume
for mutually accepted hate
and fear
without so much as calculating anger,
not so better managed
with ballistics
should you learn this golden gymnast rule ballastics
of Earth's yummy rich fed gardeners.

What might we do yet together
if those first two years of school
our teachers taught Make Love Not War
just like MultiCulturing Golden Rules?

Which one is pathological propoganda
and which is nutritional health enculturation?
