Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Too Big To Fail

Emerging from cooperative economic indecision,
a leftwinged political decision
"Too big to fail"
is also our unecological rightwinged euphemism
for a politically unpalatable
"Too rich to fail."

This has nothing healthy
or equitable to do with democratic community,
with non-violent solidarity,
with green communion,
 

And everything to do
with naked inside greed
for short-term crutches and props
to insider avoid,
to outside neglect,
to postpone "til after my term,"
my generation
this anthro must grow
insider regeneration

Effective long-term 
multigenerational public health
without monoculturing extraction
dismally standing in for
polycultural health investment

While anthro-privileged fragility
continues dissonant whistling
in growing cancerous outdoor climates 
of pathological darkness
too big to not fail

Healthy democracy
does not overfeed rich autocratic authority,
instead investing in locally responsible
multicultural responsiveness
including long multigenerational commitment,

Coining a renewing terminology
of non-terminal
liberally conserving
resilient responsivility

Too simple,
win/win sufficient,
healthy compassion solid
to fail
empowerment's enlightening test
of Earth ReGenerative HerStory.
