The Slorax Speaks

The matriarchal deeper
and therefore slower growing Slorax
plants rich networks of Truffula Trees,
restores justice to Her Earth's unitarian community,
cooperatively owned and managed.

When excess harvests feed greed,
growing across monoculturing
less competitive
colonized fields
over-ruled by authorities to punish trees for non-uniform compliance
to meet and greet enslaving commercial needs
and commodified values of prison workers
measuring value only in capital outgoing
against financial investments incoming per day,
per hour
per minute
per second of progress v loss of accumulated fiber value,

Then ecofeminist time has come,
and hopefully not yet too gone,
for unitarian yin reverse-hierarchies,
for cooperatively democratic
restorative healing,
for Earth-therapeutic
revolutionary Slorax to speak,
to cooperatively learn and educate,
to non-violently communicate,
to polyculturally plan 
ecosystemically healthier, 
ecologically re-creative 
economic outcomes for all resident people
plants
planetary nutritional infrastructure.

The Slorax worships Truffula forests,
where LeftBrain/RightWing deductive western dominance
justly balances
RightBrain/LeftWing eastern inductive prominence

As Yang revolts
returns
universally reweaves
toward yin's warm-wombed unitarian compassion,

Then, as Now,
we embrace ancient nutritional Space
creating bicameral Lorax/Slorax WombTime,

As BreathFlow economizes nurturing Light
of and for hungry Truffula forest leaves
and hearts
and minds
and roots
toward future healthy multiculturing generations.
