With apologies to John Lennon, and mutually intended thanks for rich resonance. we're still getting by, etc., "With a Little Help from My Friends."
What would you do
if I walked out on you?
Would you stand up
and sing out of key?
I'm really quite sure
if you did this to me
I would sit down
or stand up
and dream how to be.
Do we need everybody?
We sure need sometime to be.
Could it be anybody?
As long as that someone's not me.
What would I do
if you came home from school?
Would I ask what
you learned out of key?
You're not really sure
when they thought they might teach
Me is being
what We might become.
Do you hear anybody?
I just need someplace to be.
Could you be anybody?
As long as they don't act like me.
What would Yang do
to fill out his vast form?
Would Yin win
to flow and fill in?
How light might we get
to know empathy?
Could time's nature
unfold us again?
Do we need to feel better?
We all need some EarthTime to love.
Could we be anybody?
No, We Occupy CoPresence Today,

even more therapeutic

ego/eco-logical compassion.

time to rhyme.
I think it is true
but I'll leave it to you,
we could gain a better therapeutic high
sustained through future regenerations
with a little more help
from our more ecotherapeutically self-governing
friends
and cooperative health optimization policy writers,
and investors
of both time and
that stuff we use to get high
off ego-competition
consumer games,
when we could richly
warmly invest in eco-cooperation
present co-presence
Win/Win transforming games
people play.
yet too seldom say.
