We Are All Angry

No, Speaker Ryan,
you do not speak for me
of the sacred probabilities
for growing civil kindness.

I respect your mind and your feelings, 
but we are not, as you assert, all angry.
In fact, some of us think it is a bad, sad, and mad idea
to try to develop healthy and equitable policies for Others
out of personal anger and political fear,
when we could choose motivations engaging cooperative love,
restorative justice,
compassionate communication
and internal/external peace-making.

I am sorry you are angry,
but please do not project your concerns 
about lack of viable health and safety outcomes
onto win/win-motivated me

And millions of others who believe that green
unconditional warm compassion 
is not only more resonantly kind
but also more resiliently healthy 
than red anger
and dark blue fear 
of traumatic loss.

Both political and environmental scientists
can explain why monoculturally rabid 
win/lose 
0-sum
predative environments
are unlikely to evolve therapeutically stable 
regenerative resolutions
toward healthy sustainable 
nutritionally rich
and multicultural win/win co-empowerment outcomes 
for you, 
and me, 
and we, 
and Earth

Polarizing anger
is unlikely to produce deep economic ecological healthy relationships 
and wide poli-cultural love communion
with AnthroCreator God, 
or with awesome messianic EnLightenment, 
or with EarthPower's indigenous bodhisattva wisdom,
much less all bilaterally intelligent three

Worshipped, celebrated, legislated, governed
not with militarized PTSD anger
or polarized fear-mongering stress
or unfree, costly hate speech

But eating with joyful humility
and drinking with open, trust-developing curiosity
producing Left-cognitive and consuming Right-intuitive 
compassionate neurosystemic communication

SunLight liberating messiahs
and EarthPower conserving bodhisattvas

Fruit of resilient transgenerational
sacred passion/organic pleasure,
EgoMind v EcoBody chronic trauma-informed 
AnthroCrown/EarthRoot 
BiPartisan CommunioNations.
