Well-Lit Powers

Too much enlightenment
with not enough empowerment
depresses me to feel isolated
and surrounded by self-impressed fools,
like me
or against me.

Too much empowerment
with not enough enightenment
anticipates
and advocates
and avidly endorses
narcissistic egocentrism
for my individual self
and
manically unrealistic 
anthrosupremacist
Other Otherers

Super Patriarchal-Capitalist powers
against Earth's
and polycultural EarthTribe's resilient
self-organizing 
health and wealth care

Long-term 
indigenous wisdom potential
for healthiest RightHemisphere 
felt co-empathically empowered
and wealthiest LeftHemisphere 
verbally enlightened

For great grand future regenerators
of all secular ergodic 
sacred synergetic
cooperatively greased relationships

Reducing trauma for squeaky,
curious
compassionate future 
multiculturing secular

inter-religious sacred 
RightYintegrity
pre/re balancing generations

Of transcendent 
co-invested 
wealthy and wise storytellers, 
co-empathically enlightened;
and cooperatively healthy 
ecofeminist 
history makers, 
impressively co-empowered.
