Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

When Ends Justify Means

When rapture outcomes
spiritually hoped for,
Paradise faithed in,
loved,
justify unnaturally violent missionary means...

When only scientific and deductively logical
reductive educational goals
justify:
Anti-spiritual wide and shallow unlearning means
Monocultures must TeacherWin before we StudentLose
Mono-supreme theistic Lose/Lose terror and neglect
AND yet quiet WinWin hope
for integrative Wonder and cooperative Awe,

When cultural orthodoxy rewards
Monotonous Win/Lose colonization methods,
monochromatic disintegrating lack of co-operative meaning,
mono-maniacal mistrust means...

This becomes a healthier time to recall
deeper ecological polypathic learning.

Original intent
at our EarthTribe's DNA Beginning
justifies our healthy polypathic means,
re-adjusts our WinWin strategies,
cooperates our end game Future plans.

Teaching ecopolitical Beginnings
Justifying ecological means
toward restorative healing.

Spiritual Beginnings
justify secular/natural
deductive
LeftBrain dominant means,
just as brainstem EcoMetric patriarchal XY beginnings
equal (means no bullying allowed) 
matriarchal YY integrative ends

Beginnings, with ends,
justify natural/spiritual theological WinWin
cooperative integrity means,
ZeroZone re-creational
resilient wu-wei methods,
Ego-health toward eco-wealth
optimal vocation justifying meanings

When love beginnings
justify healing means,
then WinWin endings
justify deep learned healthy meanings.
