Weapons Down Anger
Anger
is such a useful learning silence tool,
when not too short-term
ballistically reactive,
weaponized.
I have seldom noticed
when my own hot-burning issues
cold turn into
a Self and Other harsh
punishing vengeance weapon.
When left unnoticed,
unmedicated,
unmeditated
by forgiving lack of ego-supremacist
humility
By explicit co-invested intentions
of nonviolent verbal communication
informed by nonverbal win/win felt intuition,
bipartisan green consensus
For paying forward residual profits
of bicamerally balanced
co-passionately held
co-investments
Now silently neglected
in a more long-term LeftBrain dominating
colonizing monoculture
of win/lose shame and blame
Other
Alien
Enemy
Xenophobic supremacist
lingering long before and after
royalist reactionary
revenge,
Playing with BusinessAsUsual
Zero/Sum Closed degenerating
risky systemic compromises
Falsely agreeing
to disagree
about who profits more
from Mutually Assured Destruction
yet feeling everybody loses
in an overheated war,
no one left
to silently
reflectively keep score
Detente
camouflaging unresolved potential
for healthy and safe
win/win cooperative
green economic and political
integrally compassionate
resolution.
Perhaps this angry turn
to burning out red hot revenge,
retribution,
win/lose capital monopolistic,
vengeful and jealous,
self-righteously extractive
and divinely-inspired
overbearing
patriarchal straight white monotheistic
Omniscient ego-saving face
of nation-states
reporting dull Loser
unhealthy climate
fading statistics
sometimes more masochistic
depressed
about deserving
emotional and erotic neglect
and physical
dispiriting abuse
from EcoFeminist Earth
CoArising
in other less than sanely sacred spaces,
sadistic
capitalistic gotcha games
Short-circuited
most win/win effectively
by bodhisattva-grade Win/Win
co-invested commitment
LeftBrain
out loud disagreeing
against RightBrain felt
Othered
depressed
repressed
suppressed
disagreement feelings
Cognitive/Affective co-punishing dissonance
stress
chronic underlying trauma
of silence
rewarmed toward therapeutic potential
co-arising cooperative reflection
While quietly accepting
and silently celebrating
renewing awareness
of inhumane win/lose Business As Usual
rediscovered as less powerful and health enlightened
than win/win cooperative co-investment
in democratic co-governance sharing
caring about all Lose/Lose traumas,
big and small,
recent
and long ago
Renewing spacious multiculturing revivals
recommiting to humane/divine
Win/Win restorative justice,
therapy of active musing
polycultural
polyphonic
polypathic joy
of Open Organic Systems
EarthTribe's regenerative life
inclusive love
rerooting sacred hope
That agreeing
what is LeftHemisphere health care
giving communion
and receiving resilient resonance
is also RightHemisphere
intersectional safety
secure unitarian interdependence,
serene universal security
When
and where short-term uniting
ego/eco dancing dopamine
greets long-term universally co-passionate
singing serotonin
As night
dawns dance revolving into each new
ego/eco-systemic
bicameral play day
Remembering silent righteousness
trailing stone cold anger
silent sails
back through pre-history
of polyvagal neuro-systems
Long
long before international anger
became such a useful learning silent tool
when not RightWing fired up
Leading to ballistics
as if short-term war
might finally lead
to peaceful climate health
As nonviolent co-empathic silence
leads toward
active cultures
musing forth healthiest compassion.
