Wrong Premises
I find it not right
nor sustainably left,
snapped the poet,
that sainted soldiers claimed healthy transitions
toward divinely rapturous peace
to promote principles of death
by deliberate
degenerate design.
I could not reasonably interpret good news
win-God/win-humanity scripture stories
designed for win/lose inhumane
unredeemed
heroic fight makes Earth all zero-balanced right
patriotic players.
Neither philosophers
nor politicians
nor parasites
nor predators
could legitimately inscribe
and thereby capture and commodify
Natural Law
to justify killing each
Eco-Other
which, unreasoning,
feels distinctly unnatural
and betrays principled cause/effect order,
neither promoting liberty toward healthy naturality
nor security from too wealthy
self-satisfied non-spirituality
for individuals
families
communities
residuals
tribes
transgenderals
cultures
nations
generals
species of natural ordered pasts,
spirited futures,
co-presently remembered,
designed by healthy recombinant
transubstantiating
meta-morphic intent.
Nor is it OK for real-world multicultural experience
to whisper God's sacred transcendent
omnipotent mercy
to support
and reason
and negotiate for just wars
against this actual everyday private humanity
of one interdependently public
transparently vulnerable messianic body,
a cooperatively-owned sacrificial servant
for Earth's more polyculturally robust life,
not monocultural
Death
which feels like sacrilege against any divine Creator's
regenerative potential
and/or original intent,
omnipotent resilience,
omniscient resonance,
omnipresent restorative justice
justifying win/win/win/win...
Peace
which cannot be reasonably used
to justify deliberate dissonant degenerativity,
nor to sanctify desecration.
