What I Owe
What I owe
my kids
their trees
myself
and you,
A more cooperative way to learn
and live
and earn,
An embrace of diversity,
not an attack of I-win/U-lose perversity,
Awareness of strength through vulnerability
to become appreciated for our transparent integrity,
out strengths, of course, but also weaknesses,
teachers recognized for healing fractures
in history's more benign synchronicity.
What I owe myself
and you
and future regenerations,
Mindful we are the Paradise
of our nature/spirit Elder's aspirations,
Conscious of fulfillment
in nutritional-vocational prophecy
and not just toxic extractive profligacy,
Understanding compassion
has two faces,
matriarchal ecofeminist within
patriarchal healthy-wealth equity without,
engaged in interdependent becoming
organic story-tellers
and synergetic music singers
and integral movement dancers
in-between sacred native Promise
and future creolizing Wisdom
generations of past through future
re-generators.
This is my work
in our pandemic climate time,
the work of this non-polarizing privileged life
longing for more universally therapeutic
multicultural
compassion,
Climate healing,
inside iconic
ironic
ionic co-acclimating communal outside
integrity.
I owe myself
relearning natural/spiritual nondualistic listening
spoken of by 4D spacetime
revolving
spiraling WiseElders.
We owe each other
polyphonic relationship
long cooperatively held
and co-managed
with all eco-dancing
healthy wealth of creation,
for re-creation.
I owe our children
turning from the story
of left-
and western-hemispheric domination,
climatic destruction,
patriarchal white straight-male supremacist illness,
to return to our new left/right
West/East EarthTribe emancipation story
rooted in 2020 bicameral cooperative re-vision
re-volutionary health/wealth.
Conscious co-creation
of win/win humanity
and eco-sacred ways of sanity,
of loving
and living
and dying,
being and becoming,
birthing and rebirthing,
developing and redeveloping
secular ideas and multiculturally sacred feelings,
integral compassions,
cooperative research vocations
of constant healing change
Recognizing
with humility,
What I owe you
our kids
myself
is that same cooperative economic
and empowering passion
our WiseElders
hoped for restoring justice
and global peace
They secularly and sacredly
naturally and spiritually,
cognitively and emotively
ego-healing and eco-therapeutically
owed you
our kids
and my own male white yang-privileged LeftWing
and unprivileged-yin victim of RightWing homophobia
self
Changing our bilaterally balancing Story
as transparently
and vulnerably
as left brawn with right brain
possible.
