Zealots and Evangelists
Within sleepy sheep folds
of retributive divine justice
postponed til kingdom comes
and diva queens go
to hell where we sinfully belong
like all unfaithful *******
refusing to shuck and jive
custody of 20/20 eyes
and to disconnect bicameral ears,
Discovering within these quiet unexamined folds
remains an uncreative fundamental tension
between evangelical healing justice
and bad faith zealotry,
Between good news of God's universal EarthLove
and dark colonizing missionary zeal
to overpower alien health and happiness,
compassion and gratitude for global regenerate nature
spiritual nondualism.
Zealotry of StraightWhiteMale scriptural reconstructions
in Western roots fed by colonization memories
of overpowering violence.
Evangelical multicultural good news
roots are living watered
by creolizing necessities,
communal simplicity,
non-elite sufficiency
found in multiculturing non-violent domestic herstories,
communication circles ecofeminist
compassioned philosophies
of ecologically green resonant theology,
restorative win/win EarthJustice,
permacultural health-system therapies.
Zealotry is born of punishing bad faith
in colonizing memories.
Evangelism is born of healing good faith
in polycultural creolizing visions.
Zealotry is extrinsically LeftBrain dominant
and anti-Christlike.
Evangelism is intrinsically RightBrain prominent
and EarthCreation healing.
Which version of Christianity
do you find supported
by Republican StraightWhiteMale TrumpCards?
How might this compare unfavorably
to GreenDemocrat ecofeminist compassion therapy
if you are more of a Gospel Health-Crusading Evangelical?
