Two-Edged Blades
A blade of grass
produces health
in annual balancing equivalence
to consuming soil and sun's wealth.
A human child
given Earth's sufficiencies,
produces robust health
by consuming soil and sun's captures
and re-investing wealth
out into this child's multiculturing exterior.
A wise humane Elder
given Earth's sufficiencies
and given trust of responsible authority
by a democratically cooperative polity,
Also aspires to produce healthy outcomes
within that community
in balancing proportion
through consuming soil and sun's captured resources,
re-invested in proportion
to this year's metabolic wealth,
and to last year's producer reimbursements,
nurturing future ecosystemic health,
and to each next generation's producers,
nurtured by this wise care
of Earth's wealthiest Elders.
A wise, and yet child-like, blade
consumes economic health
to produce cooperatively synergetic political wealth.
