Best Anthropocentric Poems
Written On Our HeartsSome issues,
some opportunities,
are written across great Western and Eastern cultures,
Northern and Southern economies,
Left and Right hemisphere structured minds,
breathing out- and in-forming lungs,
beating in- and then out-flowing hearts.
Flight toward freedom
and open-air healthy impressions,
and fight against racial oppression,
health depression,
patriarchal suppression,
competing capitalist corporate repression
Frighten by blaming
and anger by...

Hokey-Pokey Taoist DanceWhat goes up
must come down.
What goes out
must come in.
What goes before
must have also come behind.
What folds
must unfold.
When time is knotted
it must unknot.
When space explains radiantly
convexly
then time implies mutually gravitationally and cooperatively,
and concavely.
What information organizes square rootedly
must decompose fractally and binomially,
in binary octaves of reverse Win-Win...

On Being Here NowOur body is only a cloak,
seek the one who has dressed you,
heed not the dress.
Rumi
My form dresses our shared purpose,
I seek this SuperEco who has formed our cooperative
and synergetic vocational meaning,
not my ego's magically imagined purpose.
Yet I remain distracted and confused
by this illusion of constancy...

Social NondarwinistsWe need to talk.
Is this one of those times
where you need to talk
and I must pretend to listen
while you rant?
Well, yes,
if you could extend this favor.
Your topic?
Social Darwinism.
Isn't that the birthplace of unfettered Capitalism
and Fascism
and Totalitarianism
and anthropocentrism,
and plutocratic ecopolitics,
where greed to breed
and bleed-out others
is doing...

Benighted EnlightenmentPotawatomi language,
says Robin Wall Kimmerer,
does not verbally divide us into masculine and feminine.
However, unlike most English verbs,
Potawatomi verbs distinguish between animate and inanimate objects.
For example,
we use sit down
when speaking to an unruly son
and set down
when speaking of what we did with a stone
or a book
which...

Empowering Regenerative HealthculturesLiving
is our shared regenerative tradition
as Earthlings,
And dying
is our autonomously
separating
fading degenerative position
as former organic life systems
living ego-identified upon
and economic-ecologically within
an organic Sun/Earth Revolving HealthSystem
spiraling through Time
revolving through Space,
a global organic ecohabitat network.
Anthropoid memory
of matriarchal history
proscribes unrealistic feelings
by prescribing realistic natural images
outside which remain only negatively describable
as...

Bicameral GratitudeOK class, now listen up and down,
in and out,
said Professor Fuller Watts,
professing political philosophy 404.
We begin with a deductive
reductive
universal objective lesson,
then spread out across inductive intuition
unitarian inside/outside formation
and self/other-governing intelligence
through co-mediating mind/body gratitude.
I will speak in bipartisan political language
because it shouts at us, all...

Redeeming GenesisWe have an enemy within called the ego
who prevents us from using our mind intelligently.
It hides deep within our heart
and emerges with regularity
to challenge and consume our will.

Today Is DifferentToday is assiduously
religiously different,
as I review our local RiverEast News.
Every week
Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial
in a compelling voice.
I expect to only add
my hearty sacred
happy secular "Amen!"
Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief
calls for political "ACCOUNTABILITY!"
like so many others
on bipolarizing Left through Right,
And those still...

Reweaving JusticeNow that Restorative Justice
has raised her Gaian ecological purpose,
to restore multiculturing peace
in polyphonic
polypathic Turquoise Eden,
how do you continue to justify
a win/lose Retributive Justice evolutionary philosophy
of law and moral order
as contributing to healthy
win/win
regeneratively revolutionary democracy?
Asked the ecosystemic Judge
of UnitingNations jurisdiction.
Restorative Justice
was never intended to be effective

Contract Against GreatnessIn Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"
she paints a nationalistically wealthy saint
where also lives a monochromatically utilitarian narcissist,
sucking on attachment to fame and power
for bought and sold ZeroSum accounting Souls.
If the perfectly powerful pure patriarchal patriot
were your own Atlas father,
you might feel certain
he would prefer you grow...

Pandemic-Climate Recovery TeamsIn Colchester, CT,
and possibly in your town too,
we have a LongTerm ReCoVery Committee

So, what have I noticed
that might be economically

East Greets WestWestern theo-logic:
Christ's (God's, Progenitor's, Allah's, etc.)
redemptive economy of grace
leads to Divine/human universal salvation.
Eastern teleo-logic:
Buddhist (Hindu, Taoist, etc.)
co-redemptive ecology of karma
leads to sacred/secular unitarian compassion.
So,
Western theo-monoculture = Eastern teleo-polyculture
salvation = compassion
healthy economy = wealthy ecology
transcendent grace = immanent karma
universalist-ectosystemic = unitarian-endosystemic.
Human West-dominant/East-recessive enculturation
has a...
