Tribalism Thoughts


And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, 
That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration 
when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, 
ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, 
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
— Mat 19:28 


Talking megaphone coneheads 
spouting vanilla dreadnought thoughts,
tell downtrodden people 
heart sad
that native tribalism is 
very, very bad

Shouting loud dead air
in the global village public quorum square,
from the lowest cathedral step
to the highest pagoda steeple 
They ignorantly reason, but rightly declare:
ballot tribalism divides people

Beating donut-glazed hands
on a rating spike miked-up chest
Cinnamon napalm breath
pounds the warpath ear drums:
All saying their birthday suit living
looks abundantly the best,
while the birthday cake slices given
are always the societal less 

Buttery speech spit missives
light the Roman candles
Tribalism is the bogeyman lurking shadowy,
causing sweat tightened grips
on ivory-plated handles
Such nuclear rhetoric divide minds so easily

Should truth ever be told humanely ...
we’re one blood    ~    one family
Twelve equal parts of one parental sum

But, there be those
who will toss division darts
at anyone who oppose

Shhh ... Listen to the heavenly serenade
prayer heard nightly
A dawn mist awakening sun glow bade
speaks healing truth unto 
the brokenheart beat 
Pulmonary bleed  pierce was manmade

Tribalism is very, very good
infinity unity 
to souls planted in pure Light not shade
